Batteries
Explanation: Many problems are resolved with fresh batteries of the appropriate
voltage. Many items sent in under warranty work when tested with fresh batteries.
Batteries manufactured this year will have an expiration date 10 years (or more) in
the future. Battery technology has improved and batteries will maintain voltage
longer in storage. However, the environment the batteries reside in for the 10 years
can deplete the power.
 We suggest name brand Alkaline batteries for indoor displays.
