Hi Marissa, When you use an external device such as a network card, BrailleNote will draw more power. There is actually a way to check how much power is drawn: Go to Options/Support Information mode (SPACE with O/Fn+O, then SPACE with I/READ+I). Press J (for Joule). The negative number means that the power is being drawn; the positive reading means that the battery is being charged. The more negative the ampere (actually, milliamps) value means that more power is being drawn. Cheers, Joseph

I'm noticing that when I check my E-mail with the BrailleNote BT, I have to charge it almost every day. Is this normal? I just got it in March, and always charge the battery. Maybe it zaps more power from it because it's using the network card? I'm not sure. For those of you that use it to check E-mail like I do, can you help here? I love this little piece of equipment, and wouldn't want to do anything that was going to jeopardize battery life. Thank you again for all your help.
