Do you have the contact info for the manufacturer? ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Rusk To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 4:06 PM Subject: Re: [BlindHandyMan] Cobolt Talking Tape Measure
You can always send it to the manufacturer. They are very courteous and will try to fix it for you. I sent mine back, now I have been thinking of returning it again as it has a nasty habit of reading negative measurements and using meters instead of inches and feet, just been procrastinating, hmm! ----- Original Message ----- From: Howard Traxler To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 23, 2007 8:55 AM Subject: [BlindHandyMan] Cobolt Talking Tape Measure Has anyone else bought the talking tape measure; I think it's from Cobolt? Bought mine through SpeakToMe. It has stopped working a few times. I don't know what brought it back each time, but this time I think it's gone for good. When I put the battery in, it starts to say "error, memory clear, 0 milimeters". Sometimes it gets out the whole announcement and sometimes it doesn't get out the first sylable. After that, it's totally quiet except for a slight click when I put the battery in and out. When it was working last, it would continue to repeat the last measurement and not turn off. The last measurement, of course, was zero, as I had just retracted the tape. So, has anyone else had such a problem and what did you do about it? Was it a waste of money and can I get a good Braille tape measure somewhere? Thank you much, anybody. Howard K.
