Dear Chase ,
I downloaded the latest revision and loaded it into my BNS. It seems that I
am using the BNS 2000 as this is the only version of the upgrade that will
install in my BNS. The Status menu still tells me that I am using the 1999
revision but the update for 1999 was rejected as soon as I attempted to
install it.
I use the Macedit.bns program for writing macros. I noticed that the
corruption problem occurred again in the datebook after I had run the
Macedit program. I carried out the warm reset again and this seemed to clear
the problem. I again ran the Macedit program and the problem came back.
Another the warm reset fixed it back again. This is evidently a work around
that I can use but I still don't understand what the problem is!
Thanks for the support.
All the best,
Cearbhall

Cearbhal:
What probably happened is that the date book got corrupted somehow. There
are two things you can do. You said that you are using a 1999 version of
Braille 'n Speak firmware. You should download the latest update for your
Braille 'n Speak, along with the latest version of Win Disk (version 3.5).
You should go to:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/fs_downloads/noteaccess.asp
and get the file for your particular Braille 'n Speak. Once your BNS is
connected to your computer, and the file is downloaded, do the following:
1. Locate the update file with the .exe extension.
2. Open it, and extract the files.
3. Locate the files with the .bns extension.
4. Open win disk.
5. Put the .bns files on your Braille 'n Speak.
6. Unplug your Braille 'n Speak.
7. Open the .bns file.
8. Follow the instructions.
The second thing you can do is to do a warm reset at power on. This is
slightly more powerful than a normal warm reset, but it still doesn't erase
any files. To do a warm reset at power on, do the following.
1. Press dots 1-2-3-4-5-6-chord (all of the keys on the Braille 'n Speak,
even the spacebar) when the unit is off.
2. Keep that chord held down, and then press the power on switch.
3. Hold the chord for a few more seconds.
4. Let go of the chord.
If this still doesn't work, you should probably visit the Freedom Scientific
Support database, which might have the answer to your question. To get to
the database, go to:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/support
and choose the link for your type of Braille 'n Speak, or go to:
http://www.freedomscientific.com/
and find the support link.

Dear Support,
I am using the Braille n Speak (July 1999 revision). I find the Datebook
extremely useful and, in fact, the text editing has saved my editing life
more often than not!
lately, I have begun to experience an error that I cannot understand. I hope
you will be able to explain it to me.
When I set up a calendar entry using Chord-O & e, I get the prompt "Add
datebook entry enter a number of days or a date mmddyyyy". This is fine. The
entry opens after I supply the date. I then press "a" to add a new entry. I
can insert all the details of the appointment without any problem. I then
press chord-e to close the edit and this almost always generates the error:
"Error! code equals 49; code =30 physical range error 37cd6, range error
37cd6". Pressing the chord-e causes this message to repeat in its entirety
without the "code 49".
Can you help me to understand what is happening?
All the best,
Cearbhall

Hi, well, I have a related question. I downloaded the latest firmware for my
Braille Lite 2000 from FS but it won't install on my unit. Any ideas why?
I've tried the disk drive and windisk methods of transfer. Incidentally,
Windisk 3.5 works with older firmware revisions than FS state.
Cheers
Dave
