ADVICE FROM KIDSAFE

Parents must be vigilant about leaving their children unattended near small batteries.Symptoms of swallowing a button battery include:
  • chest pain
  • coughing
  • nausea/vomiting
  • diarrhoea
  • abdominal pain
  • fever
Button batteries are found in common devices:

  • bathroom scales
  • hearing aids
  • reading lights
  • flameless candles
  • games and toys
  • watches
  • calculators
  • torches and laser lights
  • remote control devices that unlock car doors and control MP3 speakers

The advice from Kidsafe is to:
  • Examine devices and make sure the battery compartment is secure
  • Keep coin-sized button batteries and devices out of sight and out of reach (as poisons and medications)
  • Dispose of old button batteries immediately and safely
  • If swallowing of a button battery is suspected, go to the hospital immediately
  • Call the Poisons Information Centre on 13 11 26 for additional treatment information (in Australia)

The Bose Soundbar 700 Won't Connect to App

Bose has one of the best speaker sound. I learnt about Bose more than 25 years ago and still a fan.  I bought Soundbar 700 in 2018.  It took me a while to set it up but it has been giving me troubles once a while.  Recently, I was not able to connect Soundbar 700 with my phone.  Done the factory reset on the soundbar, it didn't work. I spent hours reseting everything multiple times and finally I found this article,  https://www.bose.com.au/en_au/support/articles/HC1380/productCodes/bose_soundbar_700/article.html .  Tweaking them all and finally got it to work again. I think the most important setting is to TURN WPS OFF on the router!  Hope it helps.

Brivis Heater - Error Code #69

My Brivis HX23 Heater broke down this week.  H01 Code #69.  This code was not even listed in the User Manual!  Searching around the web and here is what I found: Secret Reset: This is not in the User Manual.  On the networker controller press FUNCTION > 1 > 4 keys and the screen will go blank and come back on after 30 seconds, this has rebooted the main PCB and reset the fault code. Use this with caution as too much gas build up could cause an explosion. Use it only after the unit has enough time to air out the gas build up. What is Code #69 or any other unpublished codes?  The best way to find out is to open up the heater unit.   There is a little LCD on the PCB showing what error exactly is. (Note: Opening up the unit may void your warranty.)
