Flight Attendant's Top Hotel Security Tips

Here are her top words of accommodation wisdom:

1. Zip it
Never talk about where your staying on the plane or in the airport - especially if you're travelling solo. You don't know who could be listening. This is just as important when you arrive at the hotel - don't let others see your room number. If you're travelling with others, write it on a piece of paper and give it to them.

2. Excess baggage

When you arrive in your room, use your bags to prop open the door and look inside before it closes. It hasn't happened to me but I know flight attendants who've encountered strangers in their rooms.

3. Be wary
If someone knocks at your door, don't open it unless you're expecting someone, for example if you've ordered room service. If in doubt call the front desk.

4. Noisy
When you're out and about leave your television on in your room - this will deter thieves.

5. Write it down
Place a note on the table detailing yourself and your plans, this could assist police if something does happen to you.

6. Use the deadbolt
Keagle says: "I have walked in on people sleeping because the hotel inadvertently gave me a key to a room already occupied. This will also stop housekeeping from coming in while you're in the shower should you forget the do not disturb sign."

7. Know the nearest exit
Leave a torch and a room key on the floor near the door, so if there's a fire you can grab them on the way out. That way, if you encounter thick smoke down the hall you can go back to your room and call for help.

Brivis Heater - Error Code #69

My Brivis HX23 Heater broke down this week.  H01 Code #69.  This code was not even listed in the User Manual!  Searching around the web and here is what I found: Secret Reset: This is not in the User Manual.  On the networker controller press FUNCTION > 1 > 4 keys and the screen will go blank and come back on after 30 seconds, this has rebooted the main PCB and reset the fault code. Use this with caution as too much gas build up could cause an explosion. Use it only after the unit has enough time to air out the gas build up. What is Code #69 or any other unpublished codes?  The best way to find out is to open up the heater unit.   There is a little LCD on the PCB showing what error exactly is. (Note: Opening up the unit may void your warranty.)
