Just recieved two CSRB recievers today. Earlier in the day they were both working, now only one works. The non-working one continuously blinks red no matter what kind of battery is inside. Alkaline or NiMh. Batteries that work in one, give the red blinking light on the seemingly incapacitated one. It does not reciever signals and the test button does not fire flashes. Please lend your advice

I have a similar problem. Where you using them outdoors in the cold?

Does the red LED quit blinking after change frequencies? Does it continuously fire the flash when it blinks red?

All fixed up over the phone, seems i got a faulty one. They sent a replacement one in about a day.

My flash randomly fires when the receiver is blinking red. I have just changed the batteries on all units (4) and the problem is still there. But no matter what everytime I use them they all blink red, then I power down flashes and take the batteries out of the receivers and put them back in, then they work fine. Its terribly annoying.

If you have a CST, remove its battery and see if the LEDs quit blinking red. If so, its battery is low and causing a rapid fire.

Batteries are new energizer lithiums. All receivers blink red right at the same time.

OK, all recievers have new batteries. Pull the transmitter battery (even if it is new). All lights blink red simultaneously tells me they are all getting a signal simultaneously. The only way this can happen is if there is a transmitter signal. CST's are known to rapid fire on a low battery. If for some way out there reason the problem persists even after the transmitter battery is pulled, go to each reciever one by one and change the frequency. While I have never heard of this happening, if a reciever went haywire in repeater mode, the same thing could happen.

Also, try using a different frequency on all units, if you cannot isolate to one unit.
