I know the beeping twice when opening the door is the fob battery going flat.
Today SWIMBO asked what it means when she hears two short beeps when she opens the door. It only happens occasionally, perhaps once a week or two, it has happened for a few months but she forgets about it.
I tried both fobs - ok, went walking down the road, both fobs worked fine when I must have been well over 100ft down the road, I was impressed at the distance they worked from, compared to my motor and bike. How the bloody hell can it think the batteries are going flat when they work from that distance.
My main question is how it can tell when the batteries have been changed. Is it the signal strength, because a new battery is not going to work from any further away. Or will a new battery mean I will have to take my phone to ask her if it is working.
