dusk2dawn Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 Just got my mini colibre caller out to use tonight and found that when I switch it on it makes a continuous high pitched wail, have changed the battery in the caller. Cannot test the small battery in the remote but the green light comes on. JG do you have the answer? Rgds Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve_b_wales Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 The internal battery is a 9V one. ( used to be called PP3 batteries) It also runs on a external battery which is 12V. I use a 2amp/hr 12V battery for when the caller is placed out in a field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ordered a couple of V23GA batts, just hope that it cures the continuous screech when the call is switched on? Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
