Here are two suggestions for preserving the time/date, in addition to the other settings which can be preserved as Dale points out below: 1. The BP Transfer software itself could grab the time/date from the computer upon connection. I vaguely remember APH staff saying that the hardware did not support this, but I'm not sure. 2. If pressing the D-E-F key combination also saved the current time/date and the user quickly changed batteries, the time/date would be very nearly correct. I wouldn't mind losing 15 seconds or so - One wouldn't even notice this since the clock is only accurate to the nearest minute, and most people usually replace the batteries within a day/month/year! -- Pete From: "Dale Laser" <drlieser@xxxxxxx> Subject: [Bookport] Saving BP Settings Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2004 20:46:00 -0500 The d-e-f command saves the voice settings. Obviously, keeping the time rolling would require power, so that is not maintained. Dale
