Yes, even on a regular 456 reset with the PK, I wasn't asked for the date/time. However, I did have to go in and reset my time zone. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Holliman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 11:50 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] calibrating the battery on the PK
Hi Vicky, Yep, I had exactly the same scenario as you, which confused me as the manual said that once the battery was flat, we should plug in the charger and we would be asked to set date/time, nothing about having to do a c1-c4 reset! All of that stuff is only pertinent to the earlier BN family obviously. This is what I meant about the manual being a bit disconcerting in places, although by and large well written and easy to follow.

But thanks for the tip about making the process go faster. For, after I had already invested over nine hours in the process, I decided to just let the battery talk itself down, anyway. However, it took too long for me to know exactly when it stopped. It was still going strong at sixteen hours, but had stopped completely and shut itself off when I woke up at twenty-two hours. So, somewhere in those six hours I was in bed, guess it stopped and I had to do a c one and 4 to turn the unit back on, something that wasn't entirely unexpected. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Holliman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Braillenote List" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 17, 2005 7:11 AM Subject: RE: [Braillenote] calibrating the battery on the PK Hi Vicky, You'll no doubt have seen Dean's response to you by now on this one. If you do want to run the battery right down by using either Speech or Braille, put a flash card like the Sandisk Wireless Card into the PK, which causes it to draw more current and hence will run down more quickly. In point of fact, while Dean rightly points out that our measure based on voltage won't be as accurate as the gauge approach, I personally prefer not having to calibrate etc. The voltage check is how most conventional PDAs do it as far as I know.
