Curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to 'pair' it up with the mobby.

I THINK I've done it but not 100% sure tbqath. Shrugs:

The blower it's paired up with summat now, but not exactly what the manuhell sez it should be. ::)

It tells me to charge the battery up if it flashes red, but it only has a complicated looking ciggy lighter charger upper with weird connectors like what you have in the back of the 'puter. confused:

Any'ow, I can't charge it up unless me engine's running, which is a bit of a pain like.

I'm a tad confuselicated. whistle:

 ::)

Gave the battery a breather and a rest like, so just tried it again.


When I turn the phone on it asks me to talk to the bloody thing after the beep, AND I can't turn the blutooth thing off now either, even though it sez it is.
There's a blue light flashing and it shouldn't be if it's switched off which it is...I think/presume.

I wonder if it's goosed too? Shrugs:

I am actually starting to get tetchy now tbh. Banghead

This blue light is still flasing randomly, even though I obeyed and folloowed the destructions in the users encyclopedia on how to turn it off.
It's DEFO off, so why' it on ey, why?

Even more ruddy lights flash when it's on too.
It'll be looking like Growlers mobile discotech when I take off after. ::)

I;ve turned the bluetooth facilty off on me mobby, but I seem to have two devices that are the same, one handsfree and the same one on bluetooth.
When I tried to turn the bluetooth off first, it wouldn't let me as it sed it was 'busy'.
Ey? Busy doin' what? Shrugs:

Any'ow, I managed to turn the handsfree bit off and it seemed to sort it
Both me and the blower are a bit confuslicated though tbqh, and the encyclopedia doesn't explain what's going on.
I'll keep fiddlin' with the buttons until it werks properly like.

If the phone is "On" then presumably the "Busy" bluetoothed thingy was listening to it. Once the phone was off the bluetoothed whotsit had nothing to be busy with.

Ey up! eeek:

I've guessed summat right anyway.

I plugged the wire from the bluetooth box thing into the 'puter cus it looked like it would.
It seems that doing that has charged the battery up, cus the orange light that lit up has now turned green. cloud9:

I thought p'raps plugging it in would down/up load some updates ir extra info or summat.
So, you can charge your battery up via the 'puter it seems.
That is incredible. eeek:


Oh, btw, the diy encyclopedia does NOT tell you about this feature.
Makes you wonder why they actually bother printing it ey? ::)

No, just safer and legal.
I need this facilty as I have to speak to me cussies when they ring or they simply don't ring back or find someone else.
Personally I think it's a pain in the arse as I'm not actually that fussed on modern technology tbqath

They couldn't hear what I was saying properly like so I had to shout, and it was apparently a bit echoee the other end.

Switched it back on this avvy before going out again, and it automatically dialled the previous number I'd rung earlier. eeek:

One of the customer reviewers stated that had happened to him too.

It's a bit fiddly tbqh, but I'll get used to it I suppose. ::)
