Dan,

It has been discussed before and it's a pet peev of mine, although a
relatively minor one. I would like to se a lock state where the only keys that power up the unit at all are the 1 plus 3 keys to unlock it. Perhaps there is a hardware related reason for having it this way, I don't know but I have had the unit lock up in an on state when carrying it in a pocket or
bag even when it was supposedly locked to begin with.  Lou

Hello,
Perhaps this has been covered before on this list. If so, I'm sorry
fro bringing it up again.
I have noticed that when the keys are locked and the key-lock-beep is
off, the keys still activate the BP. In other words-- If you press
any key other than the 1 or 3, you will hear the unit activate and
after several seconds the double shutoff beeps.
So if you have the BP in your pocket and you keep bumping the keys,
you will still use battery reserves because the unit is really being
made active even though the key-lock has been activated.
Any comments on this?
Thanks.
Dan
