This definitely goes under the category of "don't try this at home". Just because it worked for me, doesn't mean someone else might not have problems, so please don't consider the following to be any kind of suggestion. It's merely my own experience.
When I got my mPower transplant, I didn't know about the instruction to let it charge for three hours before using it, and was obviously too excited and impatient to read the instructions that came in the box. I plugged it in and started using it immediately. There were *NO* ill affects. My battery appears to be functioning perfectly, and the unit did not exhibit any sluggishness, crashes, or any other unwanted behavior while I was using it that first time. On the whole, I have found that the mPower requires significantly fewer resets than did the classic unit. Again, the above were my particular findings. I would always recommend following any instructions HW sends along with their units. I only posted this because I wanted to let you know that there is one person out here who used the mPower straight out of the box, after plugging it in of course, without mishap. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stacey Robinson Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 9:49 PM To: braillenote Subject: [Braillenote] Will be mPOWERED soon Hi all, I'm so excited. My vnqt mPOWER will be here on Thursday. I have a question. Someone on the list a while back said that it is necessary to charge the unit for three hours when you receive it. Can you use the unit while it is charging or is it best to wait until it is fully charged?
