I used to keep it in my pocket at all times & I don,t know if it was dust or vibration affecting it or what but they always went wrong. The last old pager I had I kept in the Glove box of my pick-up while working which the first I knew about a Mega or local rare was when I had a phone call off a mate. About 3 weeks ago this also went wrong so for the past three weeks I,ve had the new X3, which I haven't yet changed the battery for yet, but its not been on vibrate & only Mega on noise. I don't know how long this one will last as at the moment I take it out in the day when I am surveying which isn't to stressful for it & I leave it in the vehicle at night when I'm chain-sawing & strimming along the A14.   Mike.</blockquote>
