Rick,

Not sure what kind of climate you live in but here in the Northeast, where it's 
cold outside and usually quite dry inside because of the heat, static charges 
are a regular problem and the BP is quite sensitive to them.  I've had them 
lock up the unit on several occasions but usually the 2 plus b reset command 
takes care of it.  Lou

  Subject: [bookport] BP locking up


  Hi everyone,

  Last night I was listening to my BP when the sleep timer activated.  I leaned 
over to check my battery level and then to start reading my book again.  I hit 
what I thought was my battery level keys D + F and nothing happened.  I waited 
a few seconds and started pressing keys to try getting the BP to say something 
I tried the 2 key and then the 8 key then the 0 key, still nothing.  I waited 
again then tried the reset keys 2 + B and still nothing.  I had to pull one of 
the batteries for 30 seconds to get the BP working again.

  Question, what keys near the bottom of the BP could I have pressed to lock up 
the BP?  Did I just press something wrong causing a lockup or what?

  BTW I was listening to a Audible book if that helps any.

  Thanks,

  Rick
