Bluetooth charging
The bluetooth headset I purchased has a 12v car charger only. The power
socket in my car is only live when the key is at position 1 and thereafter. The manual says unplug the charger when starting the car, which is fair enough, but am I safe to plug it in after the car has started. Otherwise charging can only be carried out when the car is parked with the key in the ignition. thanks dj |

you could add another power outlet that is always live!
I would say that it is safe to plug in after the car is started. "Me" > wrote in message ... The bluetooth headset I purchased has a 12v car charger only.

Quick answer is YES Long answer, they want you to unplug to avoid and damage to the charger while starting. After car is started power is constant so plugging in after start is OK. -- Regards Robert Smile... it increases your face value! Linux User #296285 http://counter.li.org |

you're safe to plug it in after the car has started. Less strain on the battery too. -- Black_RS4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Black_RS4's Profile: http://www.audiforum.ca/member.php?userid=945 View this thread: http://www.audiforum.ca/showthread.php?t=15090 |

Most cars turn off the 12V jacks off while you crank the engine. If yours doesn't do that, simply unplug the 12V adaptor for the moment it takes you to start the car. -- I don't read Google's spam.

I've had at least one that was only live when running (VW polo) but none that wasn't live whilst the engine was running. Mike |
