Perhaps it was not meant to be utilised in such a manner, especially by one with such a cavalier attitude towards instructions manuals. Still, in the end, it did all work out for the best – more or less. Despite still constantly questioning whether it should be worn off the shoulder as she has it set up at the moment, she does think that – on the whole – it was quite a bargain, reduced as it was by 75% to clear.
However, bargain or not, we still aren't totally certain what it actually is... or how it should be used. As I've intimated, although it did come with the box, USB lead, a grommet and a barometer, there were no actual instructions as such with the device. It had just a badly-printed sheet of flimsy paper featuring several diagrams which display – as far as we are able to discern – someone trying to wallpaper a large mammal; possibly a hippopotamus or a rhinoceros, but definitely not a water buffalo, despite what the wife's sister says.
Still, once we'd worked out how to open the battery compartment and thumped it on the table a few times, it did buzz – somewhat desultorily into life... briefly, before changing the TV channel and emitted an ultrasonic signal that made the dog hide behind the sofa.
However, once we do – eventually – work out what it is, what it should be used for and why it seems to attract so many low flying aircraft - and feral cats - we are sure that it will turn out to be the bargain we hoped for when we bought it.
