My Omron keeps saying "pads" and won't let me use. I have replaced my pads and the batteries and it still doesn't work? What is the cause of this?

If you use the pads quite a bit they need to be washed or rinsed off, probably oil from your skin. Then they work again. Sometimes maybe they are not be pressed hard enough onto your skin, esp if they haven't been washed. Make sure the connections are all pushed in and attached. Other than this I don't know. Hope this helps! :)

mine is doing the same thing. I have replaced the pads and still doing it. I think because of the thin cords from the device to the pads they are just not strong enough and the interior wires break ...I figure it has been a year and I got many, many uses from it...so will buy a new one. Wish the cords from device to pad were not so cheesy!!

If the cord is not completely connected to the unit or even one of the pads on the other end, it will do that. OR if both pads are not completely touching your skin; for instance, if they overlap each other at all or clothing gets between the pad & skin, it breaks the connection.

Sorry to hear your having trouble brother!! I have owned mine for almost a year and I just checked it, working just fine with the original batteries plus I still have the 2nd pair which they included. The best thing to do is contact the manufacturer, I've talked to them and they have a great customer service dept. I think they will be more than willing to help. Good Luck

I vaguely remember that there was an internal battery of some kind and the entire pad had to be replaced. The pads last about a year and there's a warranty that gets you a free replacement if it goes bad sooner than that. It worked so well for us, and the cost seemed reasonable for the peace of mind, that I didn't mind buying a new pad. The customer service was good. I might have the timing mixed up regarding the warranty, so please double check.

Contact the company, obviously it's something wrong with the bob it itself. why did you have to change the batteries on a new one anyway? The batteries should have been good. I would think something was defective if it didn't work in the first place. Contact the company.

I'm really sorry, Orlaina, I don't own one of those to test them with. Checked with friends as well. No luck. :-(

I've found dumping the belt sensors works. I had the same problem. None sense then.

i have the same problem with mine. I do not know what it could be. did you get another one?

Sorry to hear that. My first lasted for years. My second still works. Try calling the company and if they are nonresponsive, leave a bad review on their website. Leave a bad review on Amazon.com. Google Koolatron complaints and see if anyone else posted problems. Companies hate bad publicity.

Try replacing the batteries. It helped with problems I've had in the past. Good luck. Also try Customer Service number on instruction booklet.

We have had our Omron Elite 7300 for quite a while (probably a couple of years), and have not yet had a problem with it! We like it because it is simple to use. I don't have any suggestion for you about your problem, but if it has worked well for you for 5 years, I would wonder if it would be worth putting money into repairing it. You could put that money toward a replacement. Some of the other suggestions are good too- don't move when you are using it, check the owners manual, etc.

Your arm must be supported and be in rest. If you shrink its muscles even little bit it causes error. If you follow these recommendations, but still have errors, the unit is defective. In my case it always shows readings above real pressure. Omron is not good in general. I've got Panasonic instead.

I just spoke with omron on the phone and it does not. Too bad. Does anybody know of a unit where you can replace the batteries and it tracks calories? (it would also be cool if it showed min, max, and average heart rate for workout, but lets not get greedy). Dave JacksonLogical Weight Loss Podcast

It's a faulty battery. Needs a new battery. In the case of this controller where the battery is built in, you're probably better off returning it and getting a new one. If that's not possible, I guess you can try taking the back off and looking for a similar battery on amazon or something.

I had an older one that I recently replaced with the newer model. Both the new one and the older one did that, but I found that it usually meant I needed to change the pad, it wasn't damp enough any longer. I lover my newer one because it is longer, not any where near as short as my first one was.

The first thing is that you must really clean off the surface before you put a new adhesive pad on, otherwise it won't work well. If it is going off and on or just intermittently, it probably needs a new pad or batteries. They do go bad even at shorter times than expected. Buy your batteries online, there are much cheaper and work just as good.

Have you had that issue every time you've used it? If not, it could be that one set of pads needs replacing or that something has gone wrong with the actual wiring between the machine and the pads (unfortunately, I had the latter happen after a couple months... and then the other set quit working not long after).

Did you physically damage the drum pad or did it just stop working? If it just stopped working the piezo trigger switch inside may have just come loose from the pad. It is held in place by a piece of tape. Open it up and retape. Now if the pad itself is damaged I would start by contacting Medeli: http://www.medeli.com.hk/?page=contactus
