    Read this Warning all ET-9000 Owners!

    Read this Warning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


    The backup battery in the receiver should never be taken out. The receiver will lose its memory and the receiver must be reprogrammed by the chip manufacturer. It takes up to 4 weeks and be paid for!!!!!!!!!!!!

    you have been Warned

    Achtung !
    Die Stützbatterie im Receiver darf niemals herausgenommen werden. Der Receiver verliert sonst sein Gedächtnis und der Receiver muss vom Chiphersteller neu programmiert werden. Das dauert bis zu 4 Wochen und muss bezahlt werden !

    Attenzione!
    la batteria della scheda madre del ricevitore non dovrebbe mai essere tolta poichè c'è il rischio che i dati del bios della scheda madre vadano persi. In tal caso questa dovrà essere riprogrammata dal produttore con la conseguenza che ci vorrebbero almeno 4 settimane di tempo e bisognerebbe pure pagare!

    Hmmm, so what happens then if the battery dies, which it will do at some point?! Unless it's a rechargeable of some kind... But, leave unplugged for long enough, and could die?!

    I can confirm that I know someone who has done this and the box is now useless.
    Shame he did not know this when he got the box.

    This whole thread though, makes me more intrigued as to where the battery backup is, lol. And how easy it is to remove... However, I think there should still have been a warning sticker or something surrounding the area to stop prying eyes looking in to it

    Hopefully all users will see this warning, and not attempt it

    I've been in contact with Clarke-Tech about this thread, Below is their reply: -

    No users have to worry! What matters now is that nobody has the idea to take out the battery !

    The board with the battery is with the Main Board "married" and it is used for Clone protection. In the future there will be a solution, to change the battery! That means if necessary in 5-7 years!
    PS: The life of a backup battery is of course depending on the current consumption but that is in the case lower, as in a remote or a motherboard! Thus, the life is much more longer !

    This is a disaster design, how can they reply that stupid?

    Necessary in 5-7 years? so they sell a receiver that is useless after 5-7 years and need to be sent in? what a joke.

    Re-read the post:

    "In the future there will be a solution, to change the battery! That means if necessary in 5-7 years!"

    Yes, bit of a rubbish design, but when that solution is done, then that'll be much better...

    I have a computer here, that has spent most of its time switched off, I rarely use it nowr days, it still has the orig battery, and thats still ok

    Why make a sweeping statement about something that you know nothing about??? The Xtrend is the exact same receiver branded differently and meant to be sold in certain countries only, they are not clones!
