Hi Hope,
Calibrating the battery simply means that you are going to reprogram the
memory of the battery so it may work like it suppose to. Its kind of you
restetting the battery to factory standards.
To do so just let the battery run out by leaving the BrailleNote unit on
until the battery completely drains. Then just charge it like anyother time
and you have a working battery. You may want to drain the battery at least
once every 2-3 months so it can stay calibrated. Other wise the battery
will start to act up and give you wrong read outs when you check battery
level. It works almost the same way as a cell phone battery. the more
often you charge the battery when its not giving you warnings or dead then
the life stam will not last. Finally if you aren't going to be using the
BrailleNote for a long time, like if you are a student and have to give it
to the school to store it over the summer then you'll need to drain it
before putting it away or you'll be getting the same problem next time you
charge it and start using it.

Subject: [Braillenote] battery not keeping charge
Hi guys. Can anyone give me some info about the battery? How can I
calibrate (and what exactly does this mean)? My battery went from 100
percent to 38 percent in about 4 hours of use. Can someone help me?
Usually it lasts longer. I've not have the bn for very long.
Hope and Beignet
