Hi Jim, If you went into the support information mode and hit the letter r to recalibrate, the mPower will first charge up, and then it will start the talking and the discharge. If memory serves, it took mine around three hours for the initial charge, maybe eight hours for the talking till my battery is flat discharge, and then a few more hours for it to charge up again. ----- Original Message ----- From: "James Aldrich" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 6:34 PM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] How long does calibration take? 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.
