scribble Posted August 27, 2008 Share Posted August 27, 2008 I just got out to use me new ced M2 chrono and am confused on setting strings. I want to be able to run different loads across and then retreive when I get home. I pressed the str button after the first 10 and did this for each bach consistantly but when I got home it didn't seperate the 30 rounds I ran into a different string. It did list a 2nd string after I turned it off and restarted with a different caliber. What did I do wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribble Posted August 29, 2008 Author Share Posted August 29, 2008 no one uses the string store feature on there CED? I know I can't be the only one who wants to make sure what batch was what without writing it all down at the range. I mean that is what the memory feature is for so you can log it all in after the trip to the range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about the CED2 but on the CED 1....the string is retain by pressing once on the reset button.....press too long (quite a while)and you reset all strings too zero....

Jman Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Hit "STO" after each string and a new one starts automatically. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribble Posted September 1, 2008 Author Share Posted September 1, 2008 Finally figure out you need to pay close attention to the button letters. I kept hitting STR for string not STO for store string. :goof: DUMBASS!!!!! ME!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavex Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 does anyone else's CED Millenium (new one) kill batteries really quick? I love my chrono, even with the buttons not always being responsive, as it takes readings well. but I've taken to removing the batery each time I turn it off as the battery is always dead the next time I go out, and yes I make sure it's turned off before I close the lid. Last week I forgot though, and 3 days later when I hit the range I had a dead battery again. It was brand new 3 days earlier. Maybe I should send it back? the buttons failing to repsond all the time is kind of frustrating, but this battery killing thing is really annoying.

ben b. Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 Send it back, they'll happily fix or replace. That is not worth the aggravation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 One thing to make sure of is to use really good batteries. Not the elcheapo shit. Duracells or Energisers. If that still goes flat quickly, get it back to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben b. Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'm using el cheapo shit in mine, and it is running fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gm iprod Posted October 17, 2008 Share Posted October 17, 2008 I'm using el cheapo shit in mine, and it is running fine. I tried that when I got a very good deal through work for some really cheap batteries and my one was suddenly causing problems. My brothers one ran fine from day one. He has always used expensive batteries, he is a hifi nut and all his gear it top class, so he just kept that theory going. I asked him if he was having problems and he came over and looked at my batteries and swapped them out and presto, all is good. I sell CED and when I get them back the first thing I do is swap out the batteries for good ones, if the problem persists (and sometimes it does) CED fix it. But more than 2/3rds are fixed by good batteries. If yours is running on th eelcheapo batteries then carry on, you lucky bugger. I will say one thing though the good batteries do last longer than the cheaper ones, but not at the same Dollars per hour though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wonder if it would be ok to use. My understanding is a lithium battery will last longer and provide a more even voltage at the end of its life, do you think it is worth $8.50 per battery in this application. Thanks for your input!

Jman Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Probably not. Duracell's are just fine. I disconnect them after use. Don't like storing the unit with a battery in it. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
