Yes, if I'm understanding what you are saying correctly. I mean, if you went into the support information mode and pressed r and then heard the I'm charging up my battery initial charge message, then I would just leave the mPower plugged in and turned on. It will eventually charge up, and then it will start talking that familiar I'm talking until my battery is flat message. Then, when that is done, it will automatically start charging again and then give you a message when everything has been completed. ----- Original Message ----- From: "dmgina" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 8:33 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] How long does calibration take?
I haven't had the machine on. I will check it as of now. Because it has been over twelve hours. fourteen hours to be sure. Ok it is saying with the R pressed I'm charging up my battery Initial charge. Should I keep this on then? I still can't get up to one hundred percent. --Dar Every Saint has a future, Every Sinner has a past ----- Original Message ----- From: "Vicky Collins" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, January 17, 2006 4:58 PM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] How long does calibration take? > 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.
