Active Sync still looses focus, not quite as often but I'll take the gps out
again tomorrow and give you a further report.
Thanks.

Mary Ellen,
I have not had any reported problems with these symptoms. I am using both
the PK and mPower running KS 7.2 and I cannot duplicate this issue. This is
in no way to indicate that there is not a problem. I have found one area of
concern that was introduced in KS 7.2 and would like you to attempt the
following to see if your problem is resolved.
Steps
1 Remove any storage cards.
2 From the main menu do a hard reset, BT dots 4,5,6 + reset, QT j,k,l+ reset. Be sure to hold down the keyboard keys until the keysoft version is displayed or herd. If this reset is successful you should hear two beeps before the KS version is announced. ** note ** This reset will reset all Bluetooth pairing.
3 At the main menu go to options, connectivity and Bluetooth. At the Bluetooth menu be sure Bluetooth is on, and your receiver is on. Space to the next item and answer yes to search for devices. When the search is complete select your receiver from the list.
4 With your receiver on the list depress enter until the selection announces Pair and activate Bluetooth device. Respond yes to Pair the receiver. You will be prompted for the pairing code. The code for the Holux is 0000 if in grade two Braille be sure to use the number sign.
5 You should receive an announcement that the device is paired and active. At this point do a normal reset. ** note ** the normal reset will reset all device active settings.
6 From the main menu go to options, connectivity, and Bluetooth. You
should receive the message Bluetooth on, space to the next list and respond
no to search devices. You should now be at the list of Bluetooth devices.
Space down the list for your receiver and the announcement should be Holux
slim 236 paired.
7 Depress enter on your device you should now hear a message "Remove Pairing for device or activate active sync. Respond with "a" to activate. You should be presented with a message "list of devices" space to your device and you should receive the message "Device Paired and Active.
8 Return to main menu. These steps should only be required when
pairing your device after a hard or service reset. Just remember that after
a normal reset the Bluetooth device must be reactivated by starting at step
6.
Please try these steps and let me know is you are still having problems.

Hi folks! Have noticed ever since the lousiest upgrade humanware has ever
invented that active sync keeps loosing focus and knocking out coverage to
my holux 236 on both the Braille Note and Voice Note mpowers. It doesn't do
this at all on the pk but I absolutely can't have this especially now that
the Braille Note is at humanware getting a new battery charging thing and
the Pk has completely locked up so I am using the voice Note and was trying
a route to a new area and we did not have coverage for close to 90% of the
way.
Fortunately I was in a slightly familiar section. but we simply can't have
this but I want to know if anyone else is having this problem. It isn't the
receiver because once we reactivate the active sync the receiver kicks in right away. But man oh man this upgrade stinks plain and simply.
