Game buzzers are made to be used, whether that means classroom review games, trivia nights, church activities, family competitions, or your own game show setup.
But what about when they are not being used?
A little routine care can help keep your Trebisky Buzzers reliable, charged, and ready for the next game. The good news is that taking care of them is pretty simple.
Here are a few things to remember for both Wireless Buzzers and Wired Buzzers.
Care Guide for Trebisky Wireless Buzzers
If your wireless buzzers are going into storage, don’t just put them away and forget about the batteries.
Trebisky Wireless Buzzers use built-in rechargeable batteries, and those batteries still need an occasional charge even when the system is not being used regularly.
We recommend giving the buzzers a full charge about every two months during storage, as noted in our Wireless Buzzer System Quick Start Guide.
This is especially worth remembering during summer break, between events, or anytime your game buzzers may sit unused for a couple of months.
Before storing them:
Turn the buzzers off.
Keep the charging cables with the system.
Store everything somewhere clean and dry.
Fully recharge the buzzers about every two months.
It only takes a little maintenance, but it can help keep the rechargeable batteries in good condition for longer.
Care Guide for Trebisky Wired Buzzers
Have Wired Buzzers instead? The main thing to watch is the batteries in the master console.
The Trebisky Wired Buzzer System uses 2 AA batteries, which you can also find in our Wired Buzzer System Quick Start Guide.
If you know you will not be using the system for a while, take the AA batteries out before putting it into storage.
Batteries left inside electronics for long periods can eventually leak or corrode. Removing them is a simple way to help protect the battery compartment and electrical contacts.
While you are packing everything away, keep the buzzer cables organized too. Avoid tightly bending them, pulling on them, or storing heavy items on top of the cables.
Test Your Game Buzzers Before You Play
If your Trebisky Buzzers have been sitting for a while, it is worth testing them before your next class, party, trivia competition, or game night.
For Wireless Buzzers, make sure the buttons are charged and responding correctly.
For Wired Buzzers, install fresh AA batteries if needed, connect the buzzers, and test each button.
It is a small step that can save you from discovering an issue right when everyone is ready to play.
Having an Issue With Your Trebisky Buzzers?
Even with proper care, equipment can occasionally run into problems.
If your Trebisky Buzzers are still within the 1-year warranty period, reach out to our support team and tell us what is happening.
Having trouble with one buzzer does not necessarily mean you need a whole new system.
We can help troubleshoot the issue and determine whether the affected buzzer or system may qualify for replacement under the applicable warranty terms and conditions.
Contacting support first can help you figure out the best next step.
Keep Your Buzzers Ready for the Next Game
That is really all it takes.
Recharge your Wireless Buzzers during storage, remove the AA batteries from Wired Buzzers when they will be sitting unused for a while, and keep your equipment somewhere clean, dry, and organized.
A few simple habits can help keep your game buzzers ready when it is time for the next classroom review, trivia night, family game, or buzzer competition.
