Okay, Carol. It said in the User Guide that the battery was already
calibrated at the factory, and when I used space with I and then A it
said the calibration was accurate. Does that Accurate then mean
nothing? It did work for a long time before going flat which impressed
me, but I didn't get the low battery warning I was expecting.
But thanks to Dean, I am back up and running. Oh, I got the impression
that the machine automatically did the calibration, and that the only
time it would be necessary to manually calibrate it was as the battery
aged. Are you saying differently?

No, you did nothing wrong, Jean. We've been through this with our
mPower. I won't write more on list apart from to say that Dean is
getting it sorted.
We haven't yet lost anything but have had to use the reset Dean
suggested almost every time. The next step for you may well be to
calibrate your battery, but by all means wait for instruction from Dean
if you wish. A few of us found that you need to get your battery down
to about 90% before starting to calibrate. Somehow we didn't get it to
work with a "supposedly full" battery.
Hope this helps a little.

Subject: [Braillenote] problem turning on mPower
I've had my Mpower BT for three days now and have my first unsolvable
problem.
When I first unpacked it, I plugged in the AC adapter and let it charge
until it said 100%. Then I removed the charger and have been using it
while reading the built-in User Guide and experimenting with the Word
Processor. Based on what I had read on the battery, I thought I would
get a Low Battery warning and then a Critical Battery warning before the
unit went flat. However, I was reading something and the Low Battery
warning popped up and then the unit immediately seemed to shut down.
The display faded and there was nothing. I did shut it off at that
point. Then I plugged in the AC adapter but the unit did not come back
to life. I waited a while, turned the switch to off and back on, but
still nothing. I tried the reset button on the left. Then I tried
pressing dots 4-5-6 and pressing reset. Still nothing.
Did I really do something wrong here?
Jean
