Hi Ed, No, you should not loose what is stored on your memory card with you change the batteries. In most cases a standard transfer will put the files in the root directory of the memory card. I'm guessing that you are inside the Notes folder and need to move out of it, close it. This is how it should work: Press star+0 to close the folder you are in. Press star or pound to now move through the list of folders and files you have at that level. When you hear a file name, you can begin listening to that file by pressing 2 If you are on the name of a folder, then you would press 0+pound to open that folder. Once inside that folder, you again move through the list with star and pound.

I just tried *+0 and it says "notes folder." *+# gives "can't move folder." #+0 gives "there are no files in the notes folder." Does this mean that changing the battery somehow wiped my flash card? I have the 128 meg which came with my machine about 16 months ago. I simply download books and let them go to the default location. If the card is wiped, I will try downloading another book in the morning. (I am not a power user and need the help of my sighted wife.) Thanks, Ed Meskys Edmund R.
