[Reader-users] dead battery and problems

[Powers, Terry (NIH/OD/DEAS) [E]]

Hi Cindy;
I have the same problem.  Are they in their own book or in the main
book.  I do not remember seeing them.  If I read them to a sighted
person, will they be able to follow the steps?  How long can the reader
go, with out use and any charge before the battery will die.  I
unplugged it Wednesday, late afternoon, to pack for state convention.
When I took it out Saturday night, it was dead.  My friend Tom Bickford
came to my room to check it out.  He pressed the reset and said I needed
to recalibrate it.  I wonder why they made it so hard.  I thought it had
gotten seperated from the camera, again, from the travel.  Anyone with
some sight on this list, can you recalibrate your own reader?  Are the
dots big enough that I might be able to see them?
Thanks for any help.

Terry Powers

You'll need a sighted person to help you recalibrate it.  The
instructions are in the manual.

Hi all, my reader will not talk or turn off. Could someone tell me who
to
call to get some help with this problem. The power cord got disconnected
and
I did not know it until the battery died.
