Hi,
I know that reconditioning is recommended monthly in the users
guide but since recalibration is not mentioned in the guide is
this really something we are supposed to do without being
instructed to do so by tech support?

Subject: Re: [Braillenote] Question about mpower battery:
Hi Mary-Ellen
In answer to your questions:
1. "reconditioning" your battery is a softer way of giving your
battery
some attention than recalibrating and doesn't divert your unit
from use
for over 15 hours like recalibration does.
2. "Reconditioning" means letting it run down till it's nearly
dead,
e.g. to 3% of its charge, doing a reset and fully charging it and
then
making sure you use the battery so it goes down to that low
level,
again.
3. Recalibrating is recommended monthly, by some, but several
times a
year at least. You are right that the manual has no precise
instructions
about this.
You do it by selecting the options menu, pressing space-with-i
for
"support information mode" and pressing space for "flash-disk
log" which
keeps the techies at Humanware happy should they need to
investigate
your unit.
It locks the unit's operation up for 15+ hours but is like
aerobics for
the battery and maximises its life and efficiency.
After you enter the process, though, to paraphrase the old Isley
Bros
song, it's a case of "look yeah but don't touch baby". (smile)

Hi folks!
I just received a message on my Braille Note mpowerwhile plugging
in
the ac
to recharge the battery that "reconditioning is recommended."
1. what does this mean? and 2. How do you do it and 3. is
Recalibration
ok
to do because this is what I am currently doing, will that wreck
the
Braille
Note.
Incidentally, Humanware staff the reference for manually
recalibrating
the
battery in the owner's manual is missing.
Thanks everybody!
