Well, when my mPower arrived it was at 26%,. Set for New Zealand time and the incorrect date but that was easy to fix.

How is an item going to run if it does not have any juice. If it has been in a box, posibly in a storage room, or going through the mail, the power is bound to run down. It does if it just sits around not being used, does't it? When I got my BT, it would not do anything, so the first thing I did was to plug it in. then I got my Main Menu. Think of it like a bear in hibernation. If he does not have any food, all he will do is sleep.

When I moved half way across the country, the movers cautioned me not to turn on the stereo for at least four hours after unpacking it. When I opened my mPower box, the unit was only slightly cooler than normal, so I felt safe in using it. Just to reiterate, I was, in fact, safe, but I would never recommend disregarding the instructions HW sends with their units. I consider myself to be very lucky. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Rose Combs Sent: Friday, January 06, 2006 11:06 AM To: 'Braillenote List' Subject: RE: [Braillenote] Will be mPOWERED soon 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.

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. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stacey Robinson Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 9:49 PM To: braillenote Subject: [Braillenote] Will be mPOWERED soon 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?
