I ddn't now you should take out cards before recalibrating and, my unit came home completely dead today and is charging. This the same as recalibration, rigt? OR do I absolutely have t use the drain methods. I didn't think I did, and my battery is around 2 so may just need replacing, but reading some of thismade me wonder if mine is indeed now recalibrating. When I checked it earlier, it said nomianl charge at 0 so I WILL check it again after charging because it was giving me warnings at that time. Not a big deal right now sice I can just plug it in at work and have thougt of getting a 2nd harger for work anyway because it is always in use accept for breaks and lunch. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kylee" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, January 18, 2006 10:50 AM Subject: Re: [Braillenote] How long does calibration take?
