Error in Battery Life calculation? Please Confirm

In the Tech Papers and Guide section there are a set of formulas to calculate battery life.

To the check the formulas I typed in the example data on the next page I got very different results than given in the example.

It looks to me that in the formula for cA you are missing a “/T”. Can you please confirm?

cA = Active capacity usage per day = N*(TtxItx + TrxIrx + Tmeas*Imeas)
