OK, Pamela was mistaken and stated what she knew at the time. We are human,
too, and we do our best to provide as much information as we have. She was
working from the facts that she knew at the time.

You cannot change that. The command for preserving settings while changing
batteries is d plus e plus f. However, there is a serious bug which causes
some of the newer units to crash, when utilizing this command. This bug is
being worked on, but in the meantime, I wouldn't use this command, as it can
cause the unit to die and you'd have to send it back.
