Hi,

You have now opened 3 seperate questions on the same topic. Please keep it to just 1.

Have you tried using a spectrum analyzer tool to see what tone is being output by your unit?

It may also be that the unit is now putting out 4kHz, instead of the previous 8 kHz, but that this is not an audible frequency for your hearing either.

Your phones microphone will provide some objective data.

I'm just trying to get some resolve to a problem that I and others have experienced. I can't hear 8Kz, but I can hear 4K. There aren't any dealer here in Alaska. I don't own a spectrum analyzer. Have you had luck upgrading and verifying a 4K alarm? Is it as simple as upgrading to 4.03, then enabling alarm, setting a setpoint, then accepting the changes? Like I said the display flashes the alarm.

@Steve, I find that the audible alarm is functional, at the prescribed 4kHz, with a fully updated BMV-712 (BT F/W 2.23, Device F/W 4.03)
