Talking about whether it finds a signal
pick up B2 — detectA: Did you hear that noise?
B: No, my ears didn't pick it up.
New router, no signal
Dan: Right, I've just set up the new router. Is your phone finding the wifi yet?
Priya: Hang on... no, it's not picking up anything. Did you plug the aerial back in?
Dan: Ah, good shout, forgot that. Try again now.
Priya: There we go, it's picking up the signal now. Nice one.
Setting up the speaker
Maya: Can you help me set up this Bluetooth speaker? It won't pair with my phone.
Tom: Sure. Turn it off and on again, then see if your phone picks up the speaker.
Maya: Oh brilliant, it's found it now. That was easier than I thought.
Dodgy reception
Ella: I've set up the telly in the back room but the box won't pick up any channels.
Greg: It'll be the aerial socket back there, it's always been rubbish.
Ella: Fair enough, I'll move it back to the front room then.
