also, does anyone know why the audio adapter thingy
I received doesn't look like the one in the photos
or on the box??? it is narrow at the base and
mushrooms out at the end to accomodate the IR
bulbs/leds.
The old transmitter design would not fit the absurdly recessed headphone jack of the iPaq 54xx and 55xx, so we changed to this new "mushroom" design across the board.
It just looks much more of a stuck on adapter
than the one in the pictures?? can I have it swapped?
also it does not properly seat itself in the socket,
seems 0.25-0.5mm too long?
It does seat correctly, but there is a small collar of metal that is typically plainly visible even when the transmitter is well-seated. This is just a detail of the connector and does not affect function at all. The old transmitter design has been discontinued, so I do not think you can obtain the old one any longer.
