Re: Olympus DM5 question

Maybe that is a good idea. Yes, I forgot to talk about the power
adapter, as I forgot that unit does work and come with an normal
adapter as wel. In the case of the normal adapter I'm not sure if you
will get that notification. But with USB defnitly. Goodluck.

Hi.  When I attach the AC plug I get no notification.  I didn't try charging
via the usb because if a problem occurs then I have another element to
consider, is the fault with the player, the usb connection or my computer
etc.  The AC was the most straightforward so I've used that but it must be
the default setting.  When I'm more experienced I will try the usb and no
doubt I'll get a notification confirming usb charging, will have to wait and
see.

Last night I thought; what the hell, and put it on charge again over night.
I didn't do anything different as far as I know but in the morning I
disconnected it from the mains and turned it on and this time didn't get the
three beeps and the voice navigation was working.  I won't do anything
involved with it until Friday when I'll get sighted help and if the charging
indicator shows full then I'll try exploring the player.  In between now and
then I'll try working through some of the manual and try and make sense of
it.  However though, it is working, so far anyway.  I think though I'll buy
a replacement battery just to be on the safe side as they aren't too

Walter, the thing to keep in mind is that, when you plug it in, it should
say something like "a c adapter connection" or "pc connection".
Then depending on your U S B settings, you must either select the a c
adapter setting, or it will be selected by default. Then once you here that,
you must press enter, it should then speak the promt: "press ok to start
charging" and once you here that you must press the enter key strait away.
You might not here any feedback at that point, but its very important you

I agree, that is something that make me so sick. People make us feel
so bad for asking anything. For that matter, I don't care about
google. Why don't we all die and let google take over, as it can run
this plannet for us.

Re: Olympus DM5 question

Walter, the thing to keep in mind is that, when you plug it in, it
should say something like "a c adapter connection" or "pc connection".
Then depending on your U S B settings, you must either select the a c
adapter setting, or it will be selected by default. Then once you here
that, you must press enter, it should then speak the promt: "press ok
to start charging" and once you here that you must press the enter key
strait away. You might not here any feedback at that point, but its
very important you press enter at that stage and no other button,
because that dialog will dismiss. What happened to you is that you
plugged it in power, but you did perhaps not confirm the charging
aspect. Then it run on power only. So then you took it out, and when
it turn back on, it gave you free short beeps to confirm that the
battery is stil flat. It did not charge and therefore it only work in
the wall.

Crocket Coverage On Commercial Radio In Australia

[Dane Trethowan]

Hi!

The following comes from a Melbourne perspective, I live just outside Melbourne 
thus I listen to both Digital and AM radio.

This year Radio station 3AW are splitting the station when cricket broadcast 
are scheduled.

For example tonight’s match between Australia and South Africa, the live 
commentary airs on 3AW 693 and the standard Nightline show can be heard on 3AW 
digital and its already proved highly amusing, heaps of calls from very distant 
areas wanting to know where they can buy digital radio sets? Most likely that 
the poor souls calling up would have to travel to Melbourne to get one as their 
local stores probably don’t even know what they’re talking about.

As far as I’m concerned? Well Cricket ought to be banned in my opinion however 
- putting aside personal opinions - if I want to hear the cricket on Digital 
Radio I can hear the 3AW coverage on NTS.
