Dave and others:
I think I know what your low-frequency pop is after the double beep.
If it is what I think it is, it has been there since the beginning of =
time, and is related to the distortion sometimes heard after stopping an =
MP3 file. It should only happen after reading MP3 files. It should not =
happen all of the time. Yes, it is related to power shutting down.
If this is the problem, we are working on it. If my conditions above do =
not match your experience, please let me know.

Hello List:
It is possible that this is not new or unexpected behaviour. I am =
reporting
it because I have only begun noticing it recently. Since I did not notice =
it
before updating the firmware to 01.02, I'm thinking that it could be a
product of the new updated firmware.
It is normal for the Bookport to provide two quick beeps about ten seconds
after stopping audio, or the lock/unlock commands, etc. I understand that
hearing the double beep signal means it is safe to remove the card. That =
is
not new nor unusual. What is, however, is that I'm now hearing a definite
low frequency click immediately following the double beep. I assume this =
is
a consequence of the power actually shutting down. I have tested this both
with an external speaker and headphones, and find I can easily hear this
extra sound following the double beep with either without difficulty. My
volume setting is at 32.
Might it be possible to eliminate this bi-product in the future?
Cheers,
Dave
