Hi All, Seeing as the PK manual talks about turning the PK off with the c1 and c4, rather than just with the c4, when putting it in storage for awhile, I'm wondering if perhaps the person who had this problem just turned the PK off with the c4 only? Of course, I'm not saying that is what happened, but just wondering if turning it off with the c1 and c4 when putting it in storage would make any more difference than using the c4 only?

Apparently, unlike the other BrailleNotes, the PK cannot be left fully uncharged for a prolonged length of time. If the batteries are left completely flat for a while, the lithium cells will lock and won't allow the battery to charge again. I have actually seen this happen to another PK which could not be charged, or even switched on, after it had been left flat for a few weeks. I don't know exactly how long the batteries can last before the lock, but it is something to bear in mind if you plan to leave your unit unplugged or in storage for a long time.
