It sounds like you have mashed battery contacts. You might want to get
them repaired, as performing a firmware update with this problem can
only lead to disaster.

Hi Larry and list,
There are a couple major revisions to the external parts of the BP that
I
would love to see:
1) could you use a belt clip that grabs onto not only the top but the
bottom of the belt? I find that often my unit comes off the belt if
it's
pushed upward by a wallet in my back pocket, or by my leg when I sit
down.
2) PLEASE make the battery contacts of more springy metal. If my BP
is in
my pants pocket, and my dog brushes against the bp, often I have to
open the
battery compartment to jiggle the batteries so the BP will work
again.
Along the same thought, can you put in a capacitor so that
interruptions to
the battery power won't cause the BP to return to defaults? This is
not the
same as pushing the D+E+F keys before changing the batteries, but for
the
instance I sited above.
Thanks for considering these changes.
