Hello Sarah
My batteries were at 60% or thereabouts so I should not have thought they would
be too low at that point although I did wonder.

>>Hello

>>I had my new Book Port in the middle of July for my birthday. It is a

>>Unfortunately, one evening when I plugged the Book Port into a friend's

>>I tried taking the batteries out for a few seconds but this did not

>>Any suggestions?
