status information shows "offline", and the IP address, subnet mask, and
gateway display 0's.

Press "Enter" on "Display power status" from the "Utilities" menu. Or, query
power status from anywhere on the BrailleSense by pressing "Space-1-6". Two
pieces of information are displayed: the percentage of charge remaining in the
battery, and whether the BrailleSense is using the AC adapter or the battery to
receive power. Exit by pressing "Space-Z". And you are returned to your
previous location on the unit.
13.10 Format
WARNING!! The BrailleSense makes it possible to format the flashdisk to solve
corruption problems and/or start over with a clean internal drive. Formatting the
flashdisk erases everything on the flashdisk. Be extremely cautious when
executing this command. If you execute this command, you will lose all of your
data. You will NOT be able to retrieve this data once the command is executed.
To format the flashdisk, press and hold "Space-1-2-3". While holding down
"Space-1-2-3," quickly press and release the reset button. Continue holding
"Space-1-2-3" until you hear the "format start" announcement.
You can also access the "format" function by pressing F from the "Utilities"
menu. Or, you can launch it from anywhere on the BrailleSense by pressing "F3-
F".
