RE: [Braillenote] Will be mPOWERED soon

[Stanley Littrell]

When I get any device like a Braillenote Mpower, as a first thing, I 
always charge the unit up to full power.  It just makes sense to 
me.  I even did that practice with my first note taker back in 
1988.At 09:06 AM 1/6/2006, you wrote:
You know, it seems odd to me that any company would insist that you not
touch the unit until it was charged and expect especially with something new
that you could or would keep your hands off it when it arrives.  It has
always annoyed me if my husband buys some new gadget and then leaves it in
the box for days before he uses it, or sets it up or whatever, which means
he does it often just so I will get impatient.  My Braille notes were both
ordered by him and are listed under his name, but thank goodness, I can
figure them out and he cannot without my help.  I just know, if nothing else
that I will be looking at the manual as soon or if my transplanted unit
returns home.  Thing is, I need to transplant the one I use at work, but
with it taking seven weeks to do the one already missing, I don't know if I
am willing to do it immediately.

This definitely goes under the category of "don't try this at home".  Just
because it worked for me, doesn't mean someone else might not have problems,
so please don't consider the following to be any kind of suggestion.  It's
merely my own experience.

When I got my mPower transplant, I didn't know about the instruction to let
it charge for three hours before using it, and was obviously too excited and
impatient to read the instructions that came in the box.  I plugged it in
and started using it immediately.  There were *NO* ill affects.  My battery
appears to be functioning perfectly, and the unit did not exhibit any
sluggishness, crashes, or any other unwanted behavior while I was using it
that first time.  On the whole, I have found that the mPower requires
significantly fewer resets than did the classic unit.

Again, the above were my particular findings.  I would always recommend
following any instructions HW sends along with their units.  I only posted
this because I wanted to let you know that there is one person out here who
used the mPower straight out of the box, after plugging it in of course,
without mishap.

Hi all,
I'm so excited.  My vnqt mPOWER will be here on Thursday.  I have a
question.  Someone on the list a while back said that it is necessary to
charge the unit for three hours when you receive it.  Can you use the unit
while it is charging or is it best to wait until it is fully charged?
Thanks, Stacey and Amigo
