[gps-talkusers] determining whether the blue logger is on or off

Just had an interesting experience with the blue Logger bluetooth receiver.  

My wife just got her MPower transplant and it now has gps v3.3 on it.  I had to 
play with the blue logger a bit of course and found that it can be tricky to 
tell 
whether the receiver is on or off.  

But I did find a very reliable way to tell.  The only problem is that you need 
to be wearing hearing aids for this to work.  

If you  are wearing aids, turn on your t-coil which you normally use for the 
telephone or whatever.  Put the logger receiveer up to your ear.  When the 
receiver is on you will hear sort of a buzzing sound.  Press the button and 
hold for about 4 seconds and then release.  The buzz will fade away and stop 
after 
a second.  Now you know the receiver is off.

If you press the button again and hold it for about 2 seconds you will hear the 
buzz again and if you release the button, the buzz continues so you know that 
the receiver is on.  


For the hearing impaired, this is actually better than some receivers which 
will put out a beep but it is usually so quiet that you really can't hear it 
with aids.  

As for those who don't wear aids, I don't know what to tell ya.
