Hello again,
If you are putting your BN through normal use with reading, writing, doing
Email, Web Brouzing etc, the gage should remain accurate through normal
use. One should be able to turn their BN on and off as they see fit as
they put it through normal use. It is a good idea to do something with the
BN when the battery is extremely weak. Using one's modem isn't such a good
idea though unless one doesn't mind being constantly reminded that the
battery is low.
If you are running the calibration message which continually speaks, then
one should leave the BN on till the battery is flat, then charge it!

Hi All,
I've heard on the list that some people turn their BrailleNotes on and
off while calibrating, but I'm not sure this is such a good idea. i've heard
of people's batteries conking out when they're at about 60 percent, give or
take a little, after a calibration in which they turned the BrailleNote off
and on a few times. I've never had problems like this, and I guess this may
be because if I ever accidentally switch the railleNote off during
calibration (which I accidentally do a lot), I charge it up and start all
over again. However, as I say, I am uncertain as to whether turning the BN
off and on during calibration has effects whatsoever.
Hope This helps,
Sincerely,
Caitlin
