RE: [BlindHandyMan] b n s batteries
Jim, Without getting into details on this list, I'd suggest you check to make sure your batteries and battery gauge are calibrated. The newer revisions of the BrailleNote have a feature which drains and calibrates the battery. That may help. Bring up the user's guide and search for battery.
