  If you find that the detected IDs do not belong to you, use the Unknown IDs form at http://vemco.com/customer-service/?cs-unknown-ids to send a list of the unknown IDs and all associated .vrl files to the VEMCO support team. VEMCO will review the data to identify false detections and provide you with a false detection report, then contact the tag owners for all the valid detections and request that they contact you directly.

  First, ensure that the Bluetooth connection between VUE and your VR2Tx receiver is working properly. If the Bluetooth connection is functional, try replacing the VR2Tx battery with a new one. If you are still unable to communicate with the unit, please contact VEMCO at support.team@vemco.com as it may be necessary to receive RMA information and send the unit back to VEMCO for assessment/repair.

What to do if I think the Vemco VR2Tx case might be pressurized?
- D
  David GonzalezAug 19, 2025
  If you suspect there is compressed air in the receiver case, check for air or water leaking from the seam where the end-cap and outer cylinder meet. If air and/or water are found leaking from the receiver case, do not attempt to remove the end-cap. Contact VEMCO for further instructions. When the pressure has been released from the VR2Tx case, carefully unscrew the end-cap from the outer cylinder. Use fresh water to rinse the internal parts of the VR2Tx while avoiding skin contact with any battery electrolyte that may have escaped from the battery. Do not attempt to re-use the VR2Tx receiver after water has been inside the case.
