The original battery stopped working. Whenever we picked up the phone it just made a very loud noise in our ears. Now I ordered replacements batteries from ebatts. The red light is always on, slightly flickering. When I pick up the phone it says "connecting" several times but then it says "Unavailable."

It's a really good question that you raise. Any very loud noises can damage the ears as they are very sensitive. You should wear hearing protection whenever you do those kind of jobs.

That beeping is letting you know know that the batteries are low or out. There's a compartment under the phone that holds four AA batteries. Open it and replace the batteries or put in fresh ones. The beeping will stop.

This is somewhat common with laptop computers as the speakers are tiny and if there is much background noise, the sound is not loud enough to hear properly. I would recommend that you pick up a $10 pair of ear buds that you can plug in and put in your ears to hear the sound. These can be purchased at your local Walmart store.

Best way to check the roller to see if the bearings have failed is using a long shafted flat tip screw driver and place it on the end on the adjusting bolt. Then put your ear on the handle and listen, if the sound has amplified then the roller is defective and needs replacing. If not then check the front roller the same way because sound travels thru the frame and the problem maybe originating their. Call Icon Fitness to order part their is 1-800-999-3756.

Ur high voltage is going through FBT,the big black block of plastic with a wire red or gray solder to the board.The Flyback transformer.There a steel "3 inches like a paper clip like steel.Put some supper glue on that "3 steel paper clip look like, will help or stop loud wishling noise all together.

I'm assuming you changed the batteries? If so, it sounds like the unit is broken. If you purchased it within the last year and have a receipt, contact our customer service department for a warranty repair.

Change the batteries. This is the symptom of batteries that are nearly dead.

The design of these headphones includes a microphone on the outside and on the inside of each earcup. The outside microphone detects outside noise. The inside microphone monitors what you are hearing and when it detects that the outside noise is present inside, the active noise-canceling circuits remove that noise. This happens fast enough that you perceive a siginficant reduction in the outside noise getting to your ears.

The airspace inside the earcup is a tuned chamber defined by the foam in the ear cushion. This is important because with the inside microphone in close proximity, but at a 90-degree angle to the speaker, the circuit must be designed to eliminate the normal feedback that occurs.

If the foam in the ear cushion has weakened/deteriorated to the point that it no longer has it's original shape, (in particular the lower half of the ear cushion), the size and shape of the air chamber inside of the earcup is directing more of the speaker sound toward the microphone than the design can compensate for causing audio feedback to occur. You are hearing that feedback.

On my QC-3 headphones, I can cause the feedback squeal in both earcups, with the left earcup being more sensitive to the shape change than the right.

It may be time to replace the ear cushions. If so, they are available from Bose for around $35/pair.
