[Reader-users] My reader will not turn on

[Mike Freeman]

If you download the software via computer to your SD card, you can 
certainly update the Reader.

  I used a newer Reader at the Kansas convention. It had different
  software also. The F1 and F2 were beside each other and then F3 and F4
  were below F1 and F2. Then it sounded different when the camera was
  turned on. Can I download software from the computer or do I wait 
until
  new software comes out. I thought I was fine and used that SD card to
  update my Empower. (grin).

  Don't remember now but they are quite brief. Basically what happens is
  that a sighted person touches all four corners of the screen, 
following
  a symbol around the screen. When the PDA gives this the okay, the 
system

  asks the sighted person for the time zone. When this is entered, it 
may
  ask for the time (I forget). When this is done, it says the PDA is 
ready

  for use. However, this is means that it is ready as a normal PDA. At
  this point, stick in the SD card with the Reader software and you will
  hear appropriate messages telling you that the Reader software is 
being
  loaded into the PDA.

    You'll probably need to get a sighted person help you recalibrate 
the
    Reader. Instructions are in he manual.

      Hi List,

      Somehow the plug where I charge my reader went bad and 
subsequently,
    even
      though I have charged the unit fully, I can not get any sound from
  it.
      Please tell me what I need to do.

      Thank you,
