Carmen, try a simple reset and see if that helps. As for the battery warning, I think that e-mail must take a fair amount of power; it might be wise to check battery level before downloading e-mail and don't hook up unless you have at least, say, 20% power left. Sometimes things plummet from 12 to zero in no time flat; sometimes you can go on "empty" for an hour! I can't explain it; I would just try to prevent it in in the future.

I was away for the weekend and used my VN to download email, which it did wonderfully. However, During my next to last transmission, I stepped away from my unit and I think that it may have given me a low battery message which I didn't hear. Then last night before I started another transmission, I check my power level which said 12%. So thinking that it was enough power, because I usually don't get a low battery warning until I'm down to 8%, I went ahead. About a minute into the download, the VN said "battery critical" and the unit went dead before I could turn it off. I immediately disconnected and charged the unit. When I tried downloading email this morning, to make sure everything was alright, it worked just fine except that now each email has no sender name and says "no subject." My questions? How do I fix that, and, as far as the battery is concerned, does this mean I should recalibrate my battery? Is it normal for the power level to go down that quickly when transmitting email? Thanks for your help. I'm still new at this.
