Mark,
The 1 and 3 key combination isn't the only one that can be accidentally
engaged while the unit is locked. Also, the 2 plus b reset command will
work and I've had them both accidentally pressed while the unit has been in
a backpack. It's true that it's less likely to happen while locked but it
does happen. Lou
