Not really Amazon's fault passed the 30 day grace period. Just take it up with BlueAnt. I'm sure they will honor the warranty

BlueAnt is horrible. I sent them the defective unit a few weeks ago and still no replacement. I emailed them and they said they are looking for it. Why didn't they send the replacement unit? The retractable shaft does not retract, the spring appears to be broken.

No, you do not need to snap (retracting Microphone Shaft) on and off everytime. If I understand your question correctly. It sounds like you are asking about reconnecting to your phone once you left the Mic shaft out in standby mode and are returning, let's say from McDonald's or 7-11. All you have to do is push the Accept button once, and the phone and kit will reconnect.

About the retracting Microphone shaft. It stopped retracting after just a few uses so now its on all the time...which is very annoying since my cell phone gets picked up by this device even when I am in the house as its within range. I have duct tape holding the shaft in the retracted position. It is over 30 days since I bought it so I can't seem to return it to Amazon since It will not let me generate an RMA.

Normally it turns on automatically when you approach the vehicle. Sometime I have to touch the "on" button; or use the I-Phone settings to connect. But most times it automatically connects.

Basically. It functions as your 'output' instead of going to the regular phone speaker or a bluetooth in your ear. Your phone's microphone is still used to catch your voice but your car's audio system is now the equivalent of the earpiece. It is a great little transmitted for the money. Had paid the same for another brand but it was a POS. Set the FM to the right frequency once and you are done.

Sorry, but I am coming up with the same thing as you. The only thing I can figure is that you may just tap it for mute and hold down for off. I have not had a chance to try this yet so I am just guessing. Hope this is of some help.

If I recall, there is a sensitivity setting. And no, there is no away a car will set it off. Its detection range is limited.

I am wondering the same thing, I don't think it is possible to stop it. i will be sending it back because of this unless someone has a solution. My family is ready to kill me, the stereo is always on and every time I walk upstairs or back, or drive away or come back home my phone automatically connects and it makes the loud noise through the stereo.

if you can get the "Quick Start Guide" you will find the answer. try their website www.zetta.com.hk for the manualIt has to do with "custom setting", options to start - stop recording when in the car.

I just leave mine ON all the time. I don't think it has a 'standby' mode per se - at least I don't think it does - but doesn't seem to matter.

I see the first answer of this question mentioned that it should be disconnected as soon as it has full charge or almost full charge. I understood the different way. It can be charging for 24/7 continuously without unplug until you are going to use it. So which method is Righr?

We use it in the non-passcode mode. When it's triggered it goes off, but as soon as the person or animal leaves it stops. In pass-code mode it has to be re-set to turn off. It works VERY WELL for us.

You can arm or disarm by cell phone pretty easily, works great. I even programmed my land line to show up as ALARM on my cell since that is the only thing I use the land line for. It is also supposed to be able to monitor the microphone on the control panel remotely, I've not been able to get that feature to work.

It is recommended to have all electrical devices, such as phones, unplugged from the car when you start the ignition. This is due to a momentary surge in electricity--something beyond what your plugged in device can handle (thus the momentary power loss to try to protect the dashcam circuits). Your phone, dashcam, etc. will last longer if you plug them in after ignition.

There is an on/off switch that you use when you need it to record or stop recording. It won't automatically start recording for you. And it doesn't need to be plugged into any device when you want to record only when you need to listen to your recordings or when it is charging. And in case this is helpful to you or anyone else, I have the Microsoft surface and it won't play on there because there isn't an app i can use to play it, but it will play back on my laptop and computer because both devices already have a program that it can play the recordings on. Hope this info helps!

When the device is on, it will go into a "stand-by" after a certain time if it is not used. It varies with devices so I am not sure what the actual time is.

I leave mine in my car but always turn it off. I have noticed that when left on and my radio off, it does not play automatically. I still have to switch off and back on in order to play. It may just be a compatibility issue with my radio.

To clarify, I recorded 5 minutes of audio when I first turned on the recorder and left it running for four hours to kind of evaluate the battery strength and recording capacity. If you leave this recorder on for an extended period "trying" to record a conversation when you aren't present to turn off the recorder you will need to listen to the entire recording due to the fact that this is a regular recorder, not a voice activated recorder. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Excerpt from the user manual: With the phone in standby mode, press and hold the # key on any handset. The phone prompts you to select the number of hours(1-9 or Always On) that you want it to stay in silent mode. To confirm, press the # key or just wait about 5 seconds. The phone turns on the answering system and displays Silent Mode on each handset. To exit the Silent Mode manually, press and hold the # key again. Note: If the phone is in silent mode and you turn off the answering system, the phone exits silent mode.
