Hi Terry
The unit is recharging even as I write this message. I did think it a
bit strange that the percentage was showing 100 when I got the Focus on
Friday. It switched itself off when it reached 76%. I recharged it
overnight and all seemed fine. I put it on to charge last night and the
figure shot almost within seconds to 100%. Also it seemed to take longer
than I expected for the charging indicator to show itself. I am hoping
that this time I will get a full charge and that things will start
working as they should. I like using the Focus 14. However, as things
stand, it is probably the most unreliable piece of equipment I have ever
come across and I would be loath to recommend it to anyone who is
looking for a Braille display.

Hi!
Never seen this one on the focus before but I have known of similar
calibration issues with other devices.
So what happens if you charge the focus up to maximum, so the indicator says
%100.
Then run it all the way down, then go through the cycle again.
If the problem is a calibration issue rather than a false indication
problem, that should sort it out.

Hi
Well, I have my replacement Focus and have a problem. The battery usage
indicator seems to be indicating a false percentage. For example, the
battery is exhausted but when I power on, the percentage shown is 80%. This
means that the battery will die without giving me a low battery warning. Has
anyone had this problem and is there anything I can do about it? Could I be
moving on to my fourth Focus 14 since last October?
