[Reader-users] Difference in Readers and Recalibration

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

Hi Jan;
I just saw Jim's e-mail about the change in time.  I bet that was the
cause of both our problems.  It could have happened to me and I did not
even know it, because it was on charge, but I did not check it before
packing it.  I sure hope that was the cause.

Well, mine was plugged in for several days, but still has to be
recalibrated, but things are in such an uproar at my office due to
re-modeling, that I haven't done it. My instructions are still packed
away, and I haven't found them.  I was busy preparing for the
re-modeling, so didn't take the reader to work those days.  I check it
each day and it was plugged in.  Everything else on the strip is
working, so I'm not sure why this happened.  I hope to get it
recalibrated next week when things calm down.
