Why don't the bird calls play?
The sounds do work and it is just a question of adjusting the settings on the iPad.

Sound Mute switch
There is a switch on the side of the iPad above the volume control toggle. Switch it UP to set the sound ON. Switch it down to set the sound to Silent. When you switch the sound on or off, an icon displays on the screen. Check that the icon on the screen indicates the sound is ON.



The volume toggle is just below the side switch. Press the top of the sound toggle to increase the volume to maximum. in the on-screen graphic, you will notice the white blocks increasing to the right. Pressing the bottom end of the toggle will reduce the sound.



Setting the side switch function
Also note that the function of the side button is controlled Under Settings --> General --> Use Side Switch to: --> “Lock rotation” or “Mute”. Set it to “Lock Rotation” if you do not want the button to affect the sound.



Control Centre Mute Function

My Lists Module Export

The Roberts VII app exports your personal Lists as a SQLite file. If you wish to view this file on your computer, please do the following:

  1. Transfer the "RobertsBirds.sqlite" file to your computer using iTunes.
  2. Open a SQLite convertor program to convert the SQLite file to another format i.e. cvs or xls (Excel)

We suggest using "SQLite Export" to convert the file. It can be downloaded from http://www.speqmath.com/tutorials/sqlite_export/
