- Low Battery Alarm: Both the bite alarms and the receiver will provide an indication when their batteries are running low. Replace batteries promptly to avoid interruption.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the devices with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or solvents, as these can damage the casing or electronics.

- Battery Care: If storing the set for an extended period (more than a month), remove all batteries from both the bite alarms and the receiver to prevent potential leakage and damage.
- Water Resistance: Always ensure that the battery compartment covers are securely fastened after battery changes to maintain the IP66 water and dust resistance.
Troubleshooting
