[Trainer-Talk] BrailleNote Classic and mPower questions

[Wayne Merritt]

Good afternoon. A student approached me with several questions
relating to his BrailleNote Classic and mPower. First, he would like
to transfer information from the Classic to the mPower but is not sure
how it can be done. He said he had lots of files and contacts, along
with other information, that he would like to move to the mPower. He
said that he tried to put it on a 256 MB compactflash card but the
card ran out of space. He said that he has a serial to USB cable to
run between the BrailleNotes, but I'm not sure that they would talk to
each other with the cable. Next, he would like to use the mPower as a
Braille display with his iPhone. Is this possible? I know that the
Apex can be used as a display and likely the BrailleNote Touch, but
what about the mPower? I am a little doubtful since we tried to
connect the iPhone via Bluetooth twice and the mPower said it could
not find any devices nearby, and we were sitting in the same cubicle.
Finally, though he charged his mPower over night last night, it would
not turn on without needing to be connected to AC power. Any ideas on
how we can fix this? I tried a soft reset by using a paper clip to
press the reset button, but that did not work.

Thanks,
Wayne
