Hi list, Perhaps some of you still remember me telling about having the Optaacon's battery charger connected to a remote-controlled socket, or to be more precise, having several devices connected that way through extension cords connected to remote-controlled sockets. The idea was just to be able to switch the power on/off from all or just some of the connected devices simultaneously, and that has worked until now, when the other of the two remote-controlled sockets wasn't switched off when pressing the “red button” on the remote control. I thought already that the other of the sockets might be broken, but after removing the socket from mains power and placing it back and pressing the desired On/Off button on the remote control, the switching started to work again. As some of you stil may remember, my idea was also to lengthen the life of the Optacon 's new battery by avoiding constant charging when being connected to mains power. Of course I could simply remove and connect the charger from mains power physically, but why not conbining old and new tecnology even in such basic issues like this?
