Oh wow. Is there any other way to start it working besides syphoning it with my mouth. That's weirding me out.

You place the whole thing under water in your tank, and make sure all air is out. Then cover the small end of the tube with your thumb and put your thumb end into a draining bucket. If the water suction doesn't start right away, make sure that 1) there are no air-bubbles in the Python, 2) your draining bucket is below your aquarium, and 3) add an inch of water into the draining bucket and release your thumb under the water so no air bubbles enter the Python from your thumb end.Mine works better than I could have hoped for.

Yes. Just put all of the tubing in the water and then hold the small end of the tube to keep water from coming out and put in bucket.

Not really no. You can finger pump it with thumb but generally siphon requires some mouth work. Hope that helps.

Yes you place the whole thing under water in your tank cover, making sure all air is out then cover tube with thumb. Then extend tube into drainage bucket and release thumb. Just make sure your bucket is below your tank. There's directions on the package.

I am having the same problem but suspect it involves the driver or settings and am checking that out first. I would not return it if that is your only problem. Wait til a few more join in the discussion or I find something more about where the problem is. I loaded Skype and it works right up to the point of detecting my voice.

I wish i could help, but guess what? I have the very same problem and mine is pretty new! If you get them to connect please let me know so i can try my luck.

May sound overly simple and you probsbly did these things.. but make sure u have the volume up on the controller. I have mistakenly turned it off or down and didn't realize it. Other than that make sure it's connected to the computer. If still not working you should contact manufacturer or amazon to rerurn. Hope you get it fixed. It's a great system.

Ok, it is presumed that your mic is set up properly! If you need to reset the unit constantly, return the equipment. It seems you got a "lemon."

I blew it up w my mouth. I think I had a hard time getting it started at first. Try pulling it apart first and then blow it up. That should help. Make sure to pinch opening as well.

I plugged mine in and the sound works. I would say that yours has a defect. There is a button to push to adjust the volume of the sound. It is explained in the manual. You can check that incase it is just turned down. I doubt that this is the problem, as it is probably set at a default volume. Return for an exchange. I really like mine.

Mine died suddenly on me, after talking to customer service at jawbone, they are sending me a new one for free. I mentioned that it seems like it is happening alot, and they said it definately isn't. If you think about it, people are much more likely to gripe about something than how pleased they are with something. Jawbone has made it right right away. Now, if the second one does it, I'll change my mind. : )

I cannot seem to get the adapter to work at all. There are no directions included with the product. Am I doing something wrong? I have just been plugging it in to my computer, MP3 player, etc, turning it on, turning on my headset, and hoping for the best. Nothing. I have tried all that in different orders too. Any suggestions? Anne

I have the same problem.The more you unscrew it the louder it gets but as I said in my first rating it doesn't work!!!!!!!!!!

I use to be able to turn it on and off by snapping my tongue on the roof of my mouth. Once you get the tone right it will work. I also would say a loud ay sound (as in "ay" what are you doing). Just do a quick loud tone and it should work. FYI being a man i have a lower than say most women. So if its for a female and its not working at normal tone try shouting a bit in a lower tone. Hope this helps.

hi-- yeah, I am seeing this as well, but I was able to press the "speaker" button and the sound comes back. it's really kind of frustrating, I am trying to figure out what to do about it as well.

That was my symptom and I never could get it to work. It is a great concept but the device simply does not work.

I just purchased this phone and it is doing the same thing. It worked for 5 minutes after we charged and then it went into the System is Starting mode and will not connect to Skype. If we reset the batteries, it will connect to Skype, then disconnect after 5 minutes. We have the latest firmware version and can't figure out what the problem is. I've emailed Philips, but if we cannot figure out the problem, we'll have to send it back. I really hope it doesn't come to that because I really want it to work!

I'm still using mine. I'd like it to work better than it does. At times I have to reboot my computer to get rid of excessive feedback. Mine only works in one configuration and I had to call Plantronics tech support to get the settings that I use.

You have to press like for 3 seconds and it will say "waiting for connection" so you pair it with your advice, and it will tell you "connected" to turn it of you press for like 3 seconds again and it will make a sound. :)
