Hi Rosemary,
In my experience, anytime you do a reset on the pk, you need to
deactivate and reactivate the connection with the Blue Logger to get the
gps software to recognize the receiver again. I doubt the problem has
anything to do with your battery.

Hi, Do you mean pair it again by putting the 0000 in, or just deactivating and activating it again? I don't remember the discussion, but yesterday I did take the precaution of deactivating and activating it again, which I didn't today. I did check to see if bluetooth was on. As I recall, it wasn't because I did a reset, so I turned it on again.
I'll keep this in mind, though, since I find starting the thing up the most frustrating part of using GPS. When it gets going, it's wonderful. I'm a last minute person, and I can't seem to allow more than 10 minutes of prep time before I have to leave. Allowing 10 minutes is a lot for me, and I've only learned to do this in recent years.

- Hi Rosemary, I'm not sure if you read the discussion a couple of weeks ago about paring receivers. My experience is that even though it says it is paired and active, it may not be. I have found that the safest thing to do when I'm not sure if my receiver is paired and active is to remove paring and pair it again. So, it might not be your battery. Actually I've had very good luck with the battery and have never had to use the second one that Sendero provides.

- Hi, Yesterday I charged my Blue Logger battery and connected to my PK and acquired satelites. However, I really didn't use the receiver since the PK's battery was low. I disconnected and I heard "bluetooth reciever not detected" before I disconnected. I charged the PK's battery last night, and since I hadn't used the Blue Logger battery, I didn't charge it again. This morning I went to connect and I couldn't get a connection. I know the receiver was paired and active. I just couldn't get anything besides "bluetooth receiver not detected". I used a light probe from Independent Living Aids to chec the status of the receiver, and it didn't change tones as it had yesterday. Should I just charge the battery every night, or is the battery faulty? I don't think the battery should be faulty because I haven't used it that much and I got it in around February or March of this year. Do batteries discharge overnight? How inconvenient! The battery's charging as I write. Perhaps I'll try acquiring satelites before I turn in for the night.
- Thanks for everyone's advice.
- Rosemary
