Sometimes, after changing the batteries, the following settings are set back to factory defaults: volume speed pitch frequency sleep timer date and time automatic file advancement (yes or no) There may be others, I don't have my BP with me to test this. All of these settings can be easily restored, though not automatically. None of the data on the card is affected.

It's never bothered me that much but I've always wondered if others could in fact take up to 30 seconds without loosing their settings.

I think the documentation says that settings should be retained for 30 seconds or so. It probably takes about 10 to 15 seconds to change the batteries.
