Hi Karen, I was thinking about the Optacon II which is mostly what I
use when I asked about plugging it in. Sorry about that. That is the
one thing that I never liked about the R1D is that the battery is
sodered in to the unit so if the battery goes bad the whole thing needs
to be sent back for reapair.

I finally had to send my trusty reliable Optacon to Richard Oehm for
battery replacement and cleaning. I talked with him last week and I
should have my unit back this week.
I would reccomend to Karen that she send her unit to Richard as in
addition to the battery needing replacement, the unit may also require
some adjustments.
