I always unplug it from the outlet first. If it is hard to reach, buy yourself a surge protector. I got one for mine, in the bedroom so I can use a fan, lamp, recorder and also be charging my unit. Never use a BN with one of those six plug items that goes into a 2 plug wall socket. For some reason, the BN does not pick up the power. Until I got my serge protecter, I used to have to charge the unit, over night, in the bathroom. It was the easiest plug to get to. Many plugs end up behind ferniture. Terry Powers

Most people have things plugged in, and if any one has an office like mine, you'd have to crawl under the desk to plug and unplug. I will say that equipment should be shut off before plugging and unplugging. > ----- Original Message ----- >From: "Jim Ruby" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, "'Braillenote List'" <[email protected] >Date: Tue, 6 Dec 2005 07:39:06 -0600 >Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Noticed with my braille display >Oh I forgot some of the bn design is still partly in the dark ages.
