Hi Les, That's really too bad about the case, and they really need to deal with that. I do hope you got the cable at least!
As for the batteries, they are standard alkaline batteries. They seem to give around 20 hours or so of life, depending on just how much you use the system. One could, of course, always get some aa rechargables. I turn my unit off when inside buildings and such, and find the 20 hours does last quite a while, but it is still a good idea to carry a set of spares around with you. I still can't believe they didn't send you a case!! Don On Tue, 3 Feb 2004 20:28:23 -0500, Les Kriegler wrote: Hi, I received my GPS package yesterday with the upgraded BrailleNote. I received the Sportrak receiver, but not the necessary case to hook it to the BN, as it came from the Magellan company, not from Sendero. I would suggest that when a customer requests a Sportrak that PDI order it from Sendero so that the necessary components are included. AS a result of what occurred, additional monies need to be paid to get the necessary case, and this will result in further delay in my getting up and running with GPS. We're straightening this out, but I have a question. I saw reference to the two batteries and have looked at them. The manual states that one can get 15 hours of use from the batteries. Are these batteries re-chargeable? If so, should I have received a charger with the receiver? If not, it would seem that one will go through lots of batteries. Thanks.
