Thanks, Ray, I'll live with those things and give the rechargeables a go. I need to go out and buy some new ones. Are some better makes of rechargeables than others and where's the best place to buy? -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray Hazan Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 6:17 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: A BOOK COURIER QUESTION Hi Carol, Rechargeables are OK but you must ensure that option is chosen in the settings menu. The BC won't give you a battery level with rechargeables and you get no warning when they are about to give out. But you can live with all this. Good luck - it's a really great device and may you enjoy many hours of happy listening.
