[Reader-users] My reader is alive!

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

Hi Everyone;
I am just writing to let you all know that we finally got my reader
recalibrated yesterday.  With the help of Jim Gashal and playing phone
tag with a few people at the NFB, we finally got it done.  One big
question I have is, does the reader have to be out of the case to
recalibrate?  The manual says to take it out.  The first lady I spoke to
said I did not have to remove it when I had already done so, so I would
be prepared for my helper to do the recalibration.  I got the call right
after she left for the day.  I called her back, yesterday and she
transfered me to a jentleman.  He had my friend remove it from the case,
so what way is correct?  I think her name was Alison.  When we talked 2
days ago, she was going to suggest having it removed from the manual.  I
looked at the manual and even figured out how to set the date and time
on my own.  
I want to give a big thanks to KNFB for brailling the manual.  I do a
lot better reading and trying than reading from the machine and having
to remember everything I read.  Since Humanware from Canida did not do
it for the stream, I got it brailled myself.  As people say, only an
individual knows what method is best for him or herself.
 
Now I can read!
