Hi, all! I'm Kathy Szinnyey, new to this list and very new to my mPower BT. I' received my unit in early September and have not gotten to use it much. I've had to send it back twice already and am waiting for it to return after my second sending. I've come to know the tech support folks pretty well! Sad smile.
I really am looking forward to having a healthy Braille Note Mpower and learning a lot from you all. A special shout-out to my home girl Terrie and to Gail Bryant (no, Gail, you don't know me, but Gail Bryant was an alternative name and alter-ego I gave myself when I was 11 years old; very strange to find a real Gail Bryant on this list!) Take good care, everyone!

I simply used my BN till I got it down to around ten percent. I then did the calibration process till it ran down. I then charged my battery in that unit and everything was fine. The M-power will go to a hundred percent after the unit has been unplugged. It takes care of calibration if the battery has been discharged too much so it is better in the newer units. I'd say simply use your BN or M-power and you won't need to worry much about calibrating!
