Duracell’s Mygrid Does Wireless Charging

The wireless technology is becoming an indispensable part of our lives.We have witnessed wireless power transfer for charging gadgets from WildCharge and now we can add a slightly bigger name to the mix through a new device from Duracell.The Procter & Gamble-owned battery giant has apparently licensed the WildCharge pad and stuck its own logo on the corner, presumably in the hope that such a trusted name will drive sales of the new-ish technology.The battery maker has just announced their Duracell myGrid wireless charging pad for power-cord haters with compatible handsets.

Duracell’s myGrid looks a lot like the WildCharge wireless charging station. But, then again, both charging pads do the same thing – they induce electrical currents via magnetic fields and some sort of magic. With the power of magnetic fields and pixie dust, the Duracell myGrid can juice-up multiple mobile phones at the same time. Custom-made adapters plug into the cellphone and route wireless power from the myGrid to the phone’s charging port. The whole thing makes for a really convenient way to charge your handset.
The Duracell system is still limited to working with clip-on adapters that add unsightly bulk to a phone. The WildCharge system also requires an adapter. So, while technically wireless, there’s still the need to use an adapter to draw power from the charging pad. Until mobile phone makers adopt a common wireless charging technology, we’re going to have to deal with wireless charging “adapters.” Not that we wouldn’t mind having that problem.Duracell has claimed that this charger will be made available in October at price which is unknown as of now and that it will come with a choice of connectors for hooking up an iPhone as well as Nokia, Motorola and BlackBerry handsets.While the Duracell badge will clearly help spread the wireless power gospel, we still can’t help ponder the fact that most folk are going to be connecting their smartphones to a PC through a powered-up USB cable for syncing data.

Now that you have fought off the nasty crowds at the electronics store, and secured your Nintendo Wii system, got it home without incident and into your house, this is what you should do. Follow these steps to set up your Wii:

1) Remove the Wii from the box

2) Remove the AV cable and the AC adapter

3) Remove the stand plate, vertical stand, sensor bar and sensor-bar stand

4) Remove the Nunchuk and Wii Remote

5) Choose your location near the TV for your Wii and set it up vertically or horizontally

6) Connect the AV cable and the AC adapter to the Wii

7) Plug the AC adapter into a power outlet. Connect the AV cable to the input on your TV. Connect the yellow cable to the video input and the red and white cables to the audio inputs

Get out the remote control and put in the batteries

9) Turn on your Wii

10) The onscreen instructions will appear and you will be required to choose your language, location, time of day, etc.

How to set up your Wii Control

The Wii Remotes do not automatically bond with you Wii console. You will have to tell it to do so. The remote controls and arrives with your console is prebonded, but any additional Wii Remotes you purchase will have to be synchronized with your Wii in order to work smoothly with your console. There are two ways to accomplish this: the Standard Mode and the One Time Mode.

Standard Mode

To use the Standard Mode for connecting additional Wii Remotes to your Wii system permanently follows these steps:

1) Press the power button on your Wii console to turn it on

2) Remove the cover for the batteries on the back of the Wii Remote

3) Press the Sync button inside the cover

4) Open the door located over the SD card slot and on the Wii console

5) Press the Sync button inside that compartment

6) When the LEDs on the remote stop blinking, your synchronization is complete

One Time Mode

The One Time Mode does just that and allows your Wii Remote to work with a Wii other than the current synchronized remote. This is handy when you are at a friend’s house. Follow these steps:

1) Press the Home button on the Wii Remote that is already synchronized with the Wii Remote that you intend to use

2) Select the Wii Remote Settings option

3) Select the Reconnect Option

4) Simultaneously press 1 and 2 buttons on the remote that you want to sync to the Wii console

5) When the lights stop blinking and your remote vibrates your remote has temporarily synchronized with that particular Wii console

6) The attachment of the remote should be shown on the screen as well
