Hi Katie: How long have you had your m-power? I'm asking you this because
maybe you need to send the unit back to get the battery replaced. anyway,
good luck, and I hope the problem gets fixed.

Subject: [Braillenote] mPower battery issues, please help!
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2005 16:46:44 -0500
The other day when I checked the status of my battery, I received the
message that my MP needed recalibrating. I've received this message
before, and had to exit out of the power status setting, and retry, so I
didn't think much about it. Then, when I checked the status a second time,
it gave me the same message about recalibrating. I believe this occurred
Wednesday. So, I decided I'd just wait until I got home for my holiday
break yesterday, Sunday, to recalibrate.
Well, last night while I was reading my e-mail offline, I received the
"battery is critical message". While I was in the process of plugging in
and connecting the AC adapter, the MP tried to do a reset or something. It
beeped at me, and when I plugged in the AC adapter, it reset, and I had to
fix the clock.
I then went to the support information mode, and hit r to start
recalibration. My unit began to talk... something about discharging the
battery.
I began this process at 9:30 PM eastern time. When I woke up this morning
at 7:30 AM, I checked it, and it said something about cycle 2.
I'm just wondering what is happening here. How long should I let my MP do
its thing while recalibrating? It just keeps discharging and then charging
again, then it starts all over.
Right now I'm connected via the AC adapter so I can write this message and
everything, but I'm just concerned about this issue!
Another note, when I enter the support information mode and press a, the
message displays "gauge is not accurate, error plus or minus 100 percent".
What's the deal here?
Thanks everyone.
Katie
