Liz, There are two ways of recalibrating the battery. One can be called forced recalibration , which is the one that is done by going to options, support information mode, then the letter r. The other one is the one that Walter described, which is running your battery completely flat, until it turns off on you. At this point you will plug the ac adapter into the unit and allow it to charge for a few hours, I would recommend three hours, Walter recommends eight hours. Both of these methods accomplish the same task, which is recalibration, it is your choice, do you want to run it flat, or have the unit run itself flat?
