Poor battery connection on a clip on

[Dilldog]

My first Fortuna had a dead BT system but Global Positioning Systems sent a replacement by return (guaranteed next day too ) and that works....

However, one thing that worried me is a poor battery connection - at first if I put very slight pressure on the battery case the unit turned off.

I have messed around a little and I heard a click; it seems more robust now (gentle movement no longer results in power loss).

Question: Is it normal for the connection to be a little fussy or do I have another faulty unit?

It shouldn't be fussy or problematic, it should connect first time all the time unless you are low on memory on the Pocket PC in which case it could be an issue.

I think hes referring to the battery connetion not the BT connection

I had to move the contacts slightly on mine to get a decent connection (got it last week). It all works fine now, and ive not had any problems. I used the supplied point bit on the screwdriver to move them out slightly.

Thanks Razor.

I did a similar thing with the contacts and since I heard the 'click' it's been fine.

Though I think Dave cursed me because now I've got the 2210/clip-on/BT drop-out issue
