[Reader-users] Curious Happening

[Hope Hein]

Hi!
I had the same thing happen yesterday. I was in class and the reader was in my brief case turned off. I heard a chimeing sound. So, I checked the reader and it had somehow turned itself on and the battery was low.
Hope

.Yes, the problem is that if I didn't do it, I can't be confident it isn't 
.happening. It didn't cause me a problem, but had I gone across the state as 
.I often do, I would not have had 100% but 20. I'd like to figure out how to 
.duplicate it so we could give the developers something concrete to solve. 
.There's nothing harder than the intermittent problem that cannot be reliably 
.reproduced.
