My Supervisor has a Palm VIIx and is wanting to make the alarms louder, he is hard of hearing. I have adjusted the volume all they way up and changed to different sounds, but he still cannot here the alarms. I am looking for any suggestions that may help.

Thanks.

The piezo electric speaker in the Palm III series is very faint, The IIIc and VII are really weak. The Palm V/Vx was the first Palm to have any significant volume. TRG, now HandEra made an effort to offer a really loud speaker for alarms.

At one time, a company made a Tail Light for the III series that would flash an alarm. Sadly I have lost the name of the company and the product name.

Here is a web site that has a taleLight for Palm III & VII: http://www.talestuff.com/

Thanks for the information!

Now I think we may get creative and try to setup a peizo speaker that attaches to the Palm just like the talelight.

Thanks and Have a great weekend!

Changing out the internal speaker should not be major surgery. Handera did it on their conversion of the Palm IIIxe units.
