Hi Maurine:
Braille cells are activated with electromagnets. When you turn the unit
off, the charge is taken off the magnet so the dot can fall back. My guess
here is that you are just seeing the characters until the charge fades from
the magnet and the pin falls back in to the display.
By the way, when the unit is on the dots are pulled down with an opposite
charge so you don't see shadow or old dots when you refresh. I hope this
helps.
Alan

Why when powering off the me power unit does the main menu display for a
second or so after the unit is off?

Rob,
Certaintly, it will. But to minimize data loss through Reset, it is
suggested that you return to Main Menu before you turn off your unit.
This will ensure that the data's been saved.
Cheers,
Joseph

I was curious about this. I looked at a
powerpoint
presentation by Buffalo University about
using the
BrailleNote, and they recommended you return
to the
Main Menu BEFORE turning off the BrailleNote.
I'm just
curious as to why that is. Also, if you do
turn it off
while in, say, KeyWord, would the BrailleNote
announce
"KeyWord - ABC Document" when you turn it
back on?
