Greetings again all I am not up to speed on what is necessary in order to pair a device for use with a wireless headset, but one of the reasons I bought BookSense was that it was bluetooth capable.
Here's the dilemma. I recently bought bluetooth capable hearing aids. In order to use the bluetooth feature, I also had to buy a cell-phone sized wireless unit called the Tech, which would pair with multiple bluetooth devices and let the user switch between the channels. It then transmits the selected stream to the hearing aids. The people I bought the Tech from were able to pair the aids with my cell phone with no trouble, but when I brought out the booksense, the support technician said the Tech had no way to communicate with it. They didn't even try, saying that was impossible. Now really, there is something wrong. The booksense isn't that much different from a cell phone as far as audio input and output. Why can't it be paired? Is there something that can be put into the firmware that would resolve this? My question to the techies: How does the bluetooth software search for devices to pair with? When it finds one, which device -- the Tech or the booksense, or both, needs to update its settings? What is the handshaking process? Is there some reason the frequencies are different? Anyway, I'm tired of spending so much time on this, but I do think it should be easy to do. I wish the people at the hearing aid place were more tech savvy -- As I said, they wouldn't even try pairing the device. TIA all and happy reading. Now I need to set my booksense alarm to sound the coocoo alarm tomorrow morning...*smile* Oh and that leads me to another question: Can I download "ring tones" for use by the alarm clock? There are only the 3 in there, all somewhat annoying, but that's good as it gets me out of bed... --le If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
