[Reader-users] help re-calibrating reader?

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

Dave;
First of all, why didn't they tell us about this recalibration problem
when we bought the machine.  I am really shocked they would make a
machine for the blind that we can not recalibrate ourselves.  A reset
could have been created like in the Humanware devices, so we could
recalibrate the unit ourselves.  It took me for ever to find someone who
I could trust and match them up with someone to give them instructions
on the calibration procedure.  I now keep my unit plugged in when ever
not in use.
