Anytime a card is plugged in it will drain the battery faster.
You don't need to be in a dockument for this to happen. some
programs use more battery power then other like media center or
if you are using bluetooth for anything or on the internet. I
use a wireless card for internet with my bn and most of the time
when I use the net with my bn I have it plugged in so I can have
the battery for when I really need it. I hope this answers some
of your questions.

Subject: [Braillenote] General questions
Hello,
As I am a new Braille Note Mpower user, there is much for me to
learn. I am willing to read documentation but find myself
feeling impatient at times. I now know just enough to be
dangerous.
Question 1. Since the Braille Note Mpower supports both compact
flash and secure digital cards, I would like to know if both card
types are about equal in terms of performance and reliability;
or, does one consistently have the edge?
Question 2. The docs indicate that CF and SD cards due cause the
BN to draw more current from the battery. Therefore, I would
like to know whether this is true any time such a card is plugged
in or whether it is true only if you are actually reading a file
from an installed CF or SD card.
Question 3. I do not mean to be unfairly critical of the docs;
however, I would have found it really helpful if right at the
start the docs had stated that one must select a drive by
choosing C, S, F, M, or whatever letter is appropriate for the
drive you want. I did find this in the manual although it did
not seem as prominently displayed as I thought it should be. At
any rate, the question is, are there tips and tricks which will
get me acclamated more quickly to the Braille Note? I have been
using computers since 1990, and in cases like this, it is at
times a hindrance rather than a help. Perhaps this sounds
ludicrous, and possibly I am just impatient to learn more
quickly.
Thanks much for any feedback.
Don Roberts
