Thanks Jackie, that works; it also works in reverse, if you hold down the top button and it announces a colour, you can press the bottom button and it will repeat the colour cycling through the volumes.

Now, hold down the bottom button of the two on the front of the unit | and press the top button while you do it. The volume will cycle through | three levels while you do that, and the detector will make a buzzing sound. | | I haven't needed to recalibrate it, but you must be able to do so, and I'm | sure someone will know. | | Glad you like it. I think it's a fine little gadget. | | Jackie | | | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 5:06 PM | Subject: [access-uk] First impressions of the Colorino | | | > Hi all - | > | > Got my Colorino colour identifyer today, and my first impressions are that | > it scores well over the Cobolt equivalent.
