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
