Hi all -- I bought booksense some weeks ago (I don't remember the date) and plugged it in to charge. It sat there for a very long time before I took it out today to familiarize myself with it and try to prepare to use it. Thanks to a brief "getting started" from gw tech support, I managed to walk through all the menus and set things up the way I wanted and experiment with some features. One thing I wanted to try was to see if I could use the bluetooth feature with my new bluetooth capable hearing aids. It turned out there was an incompatibility, which was disappointing, but such it goes. Anyway, i did listen to the battery level just before the problem started. It was at level 7 with volume at 20. I long pressed the 6 to scan for bluetooth, which failed, and then long pressed it again to turn it off. Somewhere in between those 2 operations, the unit went completely dead. Nothing. I turned it off by long pressing the on/off switch. I tried turning it back on and it was still dead. I tried everything I could think of and could get it to wake up.
One thing that is behaving normally is the green indicator light just below the asterisk key. It turns red when I connect to AC power and goes back to green when I disconnect it. It is disconnected now because frankly, the unit is hot. I don't know how warm the booksense is supposed to get but it definitely feels like it has been working... I really feel a let-down. I was looking forward to using this thing, especially while travelling when I don't have my computer connected. Is there something wrong with the unit I have? or did I just put it in a silent mode? If the latter, how do I resurrect the sound? Sending an S.O.S... Any info welcome. Thanks much! --le If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
