Newbie Questions! Yaaay!

Okay, few questions...

Just bought my N3.
Jumped it a few times.
I want to make the FF alarms louder.
Can I do that?

Also, I've downloaded all of the necessary drivers.
But when I hook it up to my Mac.
Nothing happens.
Whats a newbie to do?

Lastly, is the N3a available yet?
I may need to get one. I really dig the spoken audible alarm features.

Sorry, the freefall alarm cannot be made any louder, are you mounting the unit inside or outside your helmet?

A few tips:

- Make sure the speaker hole is not blocked by any foam / helmet material etc, covering the hole even slightly makes a big difference

- Is the speaker hole lined up (approximately) with your ear?

Also, I've downloaded all of the necessary drivers.

I get one of the mac folks on here to run you through it.

Lastly, is the N3a available yet?

Yes, we are shipping units to dealer on a first come first served basis.

Hope that helps!

Yup. It's in my helmet, lined up the speaker next to my ear etc...
I may just be used to the protrac sounds which seem so much higher pitched.
Any help from the Mac peeps, would be awesome!
Is there a list of dealers currently selling the N3A?

You can try ParaGear and Chuting Star Rigging Loft. They are the first dealers to place orders and receive them... Or you could call your local dealer and ask why they don't have any yet ;-)
