What is the Sound Detector?
The Sound Detector is a good way to get hands free operation and also have reasonable battery life. When you enable the sound detector, the SurfBoard will listen for the selected period of time and then go into a battery saving mode where it will not respond to voice commands. The difference is that now the SurfBoard will respond to 2 sharp noises in quick succession and return to listening. You turn the sound detector on and off through the help system. Let’s assume the SurfBoard is set to its factory default 10 minute listening time. Press HELP -> 6 -> 2 Sound detector on. Press the LISTEN button so the blue light is on. Wait 10 minutes and the blue light will go out. Clap twice and the blue light should come back on. My SurfBoard is not responding to button presses. My SurfBoard will not learn. (Help Option 3 is missing) If any of these things happen, be sure your batteries are fresh. Remove one of the batteries. With the battery out, press any button to drain residual charge. Repla
