every 40min or so while the bluetooth headset is paired to my v551 i get a
very annoying, 3 note acending alert tone telling me, i believe, that the
bluetooth power is on and draining the battery. but . . . i already know
that . . . i like it that way but that alert is driving me crazy and hey .
..
. i don't have that far to go! i fixed a misbehaving watch years ago,
with
a framing hammer but the watch was only worth 20 bucks!

so i looked and looked in the manual and this ng but i cant find where to
turn off the alert. if there even is that option

whew

If you can't find ring styles on your own then I think you have bigger
problems than an annoying tone.

Please pardon this message's formatting, as this is my first post on the
forum. As you know by now, the V551 instruction manual is lousy, so I
can't be sure this will help. I do have a BT (Jabra) headset, and my
phone has not ever given me a warning alert, but if such a setting
exists, I suggest it must be under "audio." Here is the key: for the
V551, there are separate "alert" settings that can be personalized for
each of the "ring status" settings the phone can be on. So, for
example, you can pick a host of sounds the phone will make when you
have the phone on the "loud" audio setting. And yet another for
"Soft," for "vibrate," and "vibrate then ring," and for "silent." In
V551 nomenclature, each of these is called a "Ring Detail," and to get
to one, push menu/settings/Audio : when you get here the menu will
show you where the phone is set (and it allows you to change the detail
at this location, although it is much easier to do with the side-buttons
when the flip is closed) -- to see all the different types of rings you
can be alerted with, select "Loud ring detail" (or, "Soft Ring Detail",
etc.). Under any of the details, you are permitted to pick ringtones
for Calls, Txt Messages, Voicemail, Alarms, Data Calls and Fax Calls.
Finally, you can opt whether to to allow individualized ringer IDs to
play and last but not least, you can allow "reminders" to be on or off.
Now, that may refer to a Bluetooth Headset reminder, OR to a calendar
reminder -- I don't know. But, seems to me this is where it would be
done. It sure doesn't exist under the Bluetooth poweron/poweroff menu.
Why not go into these menus and turn "reminders" off. Worth a try.
Then I'd try calling the support number for whoever makes your headset.
They might know.
