Group: Forum Members Posts: 37, Visits: 1.9K	I'm running SD on a Samsung S2 tablet with PAW attached. I've configured the alerts and warnings to come from the tablet through a bluetooth earpiece that I wear under my headset. The SD "Sounds for Warnings" was a bit distracting, so I turned it off in favour of speech only, however in this configuration I am only getting the second half of the spoken message. For example, with a terrain warning I only get spoken "se Ahead" instead of "Terrain Close Ahead". With the Sounds turned on as well, it seems to be OK and I get the full message. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks Dave

Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks Dave I agree that when you use spoken traffic and airspace alerts, you want to switch off "sounds for warnings". Seems like your BlueTooth connection always needs a second to wake up ;-) Normally, this is not a problem. I am using a current Bose A20 headset with BlueTooth, and always get the full message. Alternatively, you could try to transmit from your tablet to a BlueTooth enable audio panel, and then mix it into your wired headset feed. This saves you the money of buying a new headset. If your audio panel is not BlueTooth enabled in itself, you should find a low-cost generic BlueTooth receiver that you then connect to the Aux input of your panel. The idea in both solutions offered is to use a different BlueTooth receiver. The wake-up delay could be a battery-saving feature of your current BlueTooth earpiece. And chances are that another BlueTooth receiver, in particular if externally powered via ship power or by a power bank, will perform better.
