I agree.  That's what I do, too.  I've never had any problem with it going 
dead after a battery change.

  Hi Jackie,
  I have been a Bookcurrier user for two years.  I have never bothered with 
the change battery command.  I have always used good quality rechargeables. 
I
  check battery levels regularly while listening.  I always keep a set of 
charged batteries, ready to replace.  If I get any kind of software problem 
I take
  the batteries out and put them back in again.  It isn't difficult to reset 
the clock and calendar, if this matters.  As long as I remember to make sure
  my files, when being saved for the Bookcurrier have file names that are 
meaningful to me I don't have any problems.  I don't do anything until the 
bleep,
  that only takes ten seconds, until the Bookcurrier has gone to sleep.
  William.

  Hi,
  I am a more recent user, and I understood that there is no longer a change 
batteries command.  You just have to wait ten seconds till theBook Courier 
turns
  itself off, before removing and changing the old batteries.  I have never 
had a problem with it, as long as I wait till I hear that little click 
indicating
  that the machine has turned itself off.
  Also, make sure that the upper battery is facing with the point to the 
right, the lower one with the point to the left.  (That is, with the belt 
clip up,
  and the battery door is below the belt clip.)  Hope this helps.  Try 
changing them again; make sure the new batteries are good (using a battery 
tester
  or try them in something else to be sure they are working like new 
batteries).  Hope this helps.

  Hi, I know it will not help now, but I have notice after my first unit 
broke
  down, when you hear the message that you must change batteries, you must 
not
  use the change batteries command, just change the batteries. I have not 
lost
  my settings since. Only use the command when you decide to change the
  batteries. It is a problem the developer need to look into. I also would
  like an option to save my preferred settings over the default settings, so
  that I can reload them when I reset the unit.

  I used the change battery command, confirmed it, replaced with new
  (non-rechargables) and now I have nothing.  I tried other new batteries. 
I
  tried leaving the batteries out for a while.  I tried reset, and still
  nothing.  I have had my bookcourier for 3 years now without a problem.
  Anyone out there have anything else I can try?  Thanks
