Q: I just put new batteries in my transmitter and it only stays on for 5 minutes. Is my transmitter dead?
A: No. Most likely the new batteries you bought are Silver Oxide. Please check the batteries packaging. Silver Oxide batteries will not supply the transmitter with sufficient power to stay on. Our transmitters work best with Alkaline batteries.
Q: Can I order the DropHead without the swivel end?
A: No. But you can just punch out the roll pin to take it off.
Q: How do I make sure that the FM-05 won’t come off the end of my push rod?
A: We highly recommend that you add a little electrical tape to fully secure the transmitter to your push rod.
Q: I am using a receiver other than Prototek and I am not getting the range that you advertise on your website. What is the deal?
A: Our receivers are very sensitive, they tend to pick up the signals a little better than others. All our ranges posted on our website are determined with our receivers. We can’t guarantee what you will get with other brands of receivers.
Q: I already have a drophead. Can I order the FM-05 with out it?
A: Not online. You will need to call in to our sales team 800-541-9123 to order without the Drophead. They are happy to help.
Q: Why am I not getting full range anymore?
A: As with most electronics the stronger your battery life the more performance you will get out of it. So we recommend using fresh batteries for every locate.
