both ways will work, but if you want to save your settings the change
battery command is shift diamond.

hope that helps,
Judy

  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
