Troubleshooting

No sound contact between BluePendant and phone

The BluePendant and the phone have to be paired to recognize
each other. Please refer to the Pairing Process of the
BluePendant User’s Guide on how to pair the mobile phone to
the BluePendant.

The BluePendant and the mobile phone also have to be within
range of each other. The outdoor range is up to 10m (30ft), but
solid objects or the surroundings can affect the range. For best
performance, it is recommended to keep the range between the
BluePendant and the mobile phone to no more than 5m (15 ft)
within the same room.

The BluePendant indicator light flashes Orange

This indicates that the BluePendant has limited talk time and
standby time left. Charge the BluePendant battery for
approximately 1.5 to 2 hours.

14

Troubleshooting

There are 2 reasons why the BluePendant might be switched
off automatically:

• The battery is too low. The indicator light on the BluePendant
will flash Orange and 3 continuous BEEPs could be heard.

• The BluePendant has been exposed to extreme temperatures.
Leave the BluePendant in room temperature for a while and
turn it on again.

Some BluePendant functions do not work

Some BluePendant functions are dependent on the mobile
phone. If the mobile phone does not support these functions,
the BluePendant will also not support these functions. Kindly
check the BluePendant User’s Guide and the mobile phone user
documentation if the functions in question can be supported.

Voice commands not working properly

If it is not possible to use the voice commands that have been
recorded through the mobile phone, try recording the voice
commands using the BluePendant instead.

Troubleshooting

15

Changing Battery

Batteries, because of their chemical nature, have a limited life
span. If the operating time of the BluePendant is significantly
shorter than what it usually was, it could be that the BluePendant’s
re-chargeable battery is reaching the end of its limited life span.
It is time to change the BluePendant’s re-chargeable battery.

To change to a new battery, open the battery door and take out
the old battery. Plug the battery connector of the new Addvalue
Enabled Battery into the socket located on the bottom left corner
of the battery compartment. Place the new battery neatly in the
battery compartment and close the battery door.
