MDPPC150/Mio 168 Discussion Thread

Just a bit off topic, but has anyone tried to connect a set of headphones to the Micromaxx pda , the hole seems to small for the connection. I have emailed Medion but no reply yet. The built in speaker is a bit low if you are in a lorry.

You need to get an adaptor to use normal headphones should only cost a couple of quid

@ owey - As mentioned before I'm not allowed to open the box yet :rolleyes: , so are headphones not included?


@ deanos - The adapter will presumably be something like this then? http://www.astarsolutions.co.uk/products/?pc=1184

I got a adaptor from here and it does the job fine.

Maplins stock a 3.5>2.5mm adaptor for £1.15 but the output of the Micromaxx is very high even on it's lowest setting and it's a very coarse level control so I'm building an attenuator (basically a 2.5 plug a 3.5 socket and a couple of mini trimpots. Connect the 2.5 plug across the trimpots and the 3.5 socket to the wiper and the same 'screen' pot tag as the 2.5 plug).

^ one above will be fine, might be a bit cheaper on Ebay

So does that mean it'll make a cup of tea now?




(Just a little humour as being non-techie I got lost after the Maplins bit!!)

Is your GPS staying switched on? That would certainly drain the battery.
If the icon at bottom left does not have a little red box, then your GPS is on.

You can configure the SATNAV software to switch it on/off automatically when you start/stop it. Mine was like this by default, but it is possible that not all PPCs have the same configuration.
