[nabs-l] Pacmate no battery present message

Mon Dec 23 02:12:29 UTC 2013

Hi Amanda
This is important, do you have an Omni or an older model. 
If it is 6.5 you. Will not lose everything by doing a factory reset as this other member is suggesting. 
Ferthermore I've had this happiness give the PACmate a cold reset and charg it. It is a dead battery that's all.
Hope this helps.

To hard reset the PacMate, stick a pin or a stylus (like one you would use with a braille slate) into the hole on the underside of the device.  It kind of looks like a screw.  There's a button in there.  Press it lightly with the tip of the stylus or pin and hold for 15 seconds.  Again, it's going to erase everything on the machine.  Let me know if that helps.
