Hi Sara, Pam and list,
We checked her unit a few minutes ago from this writing and it says
something about undergoing initial charge even though option O, P says that
the battery needs to be calibrated in so many words. I'm not certain what
is going on. She can at least use her unit for vital information but we
don't know whether it is calibrating or charging or what. We'll wait it
out longer and see. It did say the gage was inaccurate plus or minus five
percent so we'll see what happens.

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.
