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.

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.
