Phantom problems are never fun, I still find that most of the recurring problems jobs are due to static corrupting the system. As try noted, the customer had issues with T2's and now he is having problems with T2+'s I am not a big fan of coincidence, so I think there is a correlation. I have customers, for example, that no matter what model of RTI remote I have put in their home has had problems from time to time.

All of the customers that are having problems have forced air heat and the kind of carpets and furnishings that propagate static. The homes that have in-floor heat and hard wood floors never have these problems, that is except for the drop the remote on the hard floor kind of problems. So anyway I have been looking for ways to reduce the static issues.

I've done many T2C's and I had two bad remotes in a two month period (in November). Both remotes would lock up after about a week. It would be fully charged, but the screen would not come on. I would have to open the battery cover and turn the remote off then on again.

i have 3 in my house and do love them. no problems EXCEPT 1 bad battery - replaced under warranty - and two right now only hold a charge for a few hours. I have a t3 that went back - would constantly lock up then reboot itself. no fan of the t3.

i love the t2c but cant imagine having a 1 year or less battery life. my clients would freak out. i have a few to install in march. keeping my fingers crossed.

i still cant figure out what the deal is with everyone loving rechargable batteries. a mx900 will eat 3 sets a year. about $4 worth. a battery for a t2c is a call to the dealer plus $70. am i wrong?

Most RTI batterys should have duty cycle of about 1-1/2 to 2 years. Reducing the power down timer will also dramaticaly reduce the amount of battery wear
