Hi Jim, Instead of pressing F from the support info menu, press R for recalibrate. Just make sure the unit is plugged in, and it should take care of the rest. It does sound like a few BrailleNotes might be acting strangely, though.

What does one do to get that I'm talking message? I tried doing it the way one use to get that message and it beeps on my unit. My wife is now getting a consistent message which is saying that the BN is unable to give an accurate percentage of how the battery is and it may need calibrating etc. This is the first time I have seen this happen.
