Steve
I had a sudden inspiration after hearing that this wasn't the behaviour =
to
be expected of the Book Courier and tried some standard batteries. Up =
till
now I have been using rechargeables which have lasted long enough but
perhaps aren't delivering sufficient power and are causing the
intermittent/temperamental behaviour. The unit certainly seems better =
and
I'll let you know if all's well when I have had a little longer to test =
it
(when I'm not supposed to be working, at least).
I did use the batteries which came with it first of all and maybe didn't
have any issues then - it's long enough ago that I can't remember.
Thanks, Robin.
