Hi Larry,

I believe it probably said "change the batteries" or something like that, 
it happened so fast and wasn't expected, I honestly cannot say for sure.
I just transferred a few smaller files and did not get the message, but 
another odd thing is happening with the battery level.
When I first checked it, it said 69%.  I checked about ten seconds later 
and it was at 60%.  I waited until the idle beeps and it said 67%.

It fluctuates between 60% and 69%.

These batteries were new not long ago and according to the BP having 50 
minutes spoken.

They are standard alkaline batteries.
