Evelyn, When it's done, the display goes blank and speech is silent. It won't hurt a thing for it to sit there until you get to it. When you do, plug in the charger for a few seconds without turning off the braillenote. It should start talking again for a few seconds and then say or show the message something like "discharge complete".
At that point you can continue to work or just shut it off and let it charge. Even if I have things to do, I usually shut the bn off for at least a couple of minutes to allow the charge to really get going, but I don't think you actually are required to do that. If you have the speech set rather low and start with a full charge, it could probably take 12 hours easily, but I'd think it should be done when you get up in the morning or shortly thereafter.

I am wondering what may happen if it finishes before I get up in the morning. I started this process around perhaps 5:15 pm. I frequently am up by 6 am.
