Hi Otto and list:
Thanks for sharing that interesting response.
Hi,
When someone saw my unit, they were to use their own words, amazed that the
blind listened to books and even more amazed that they would listen to MP3
files.
Otto

Hi Sarah and list:
Indeed, carrying a book port around does have it's dangers. Some consider it
to be rude and/or anti-social when I've done it. Curiously, sighted folks
adopt similar appearances using their Ipod, but never receive critical
comment.

Thank you, Dave, I knew I forgot one importannt setting. If I took my BP to work and tested it, I'd probably be fired for reading on the job. <GRIN

Hi Sarah and list:
Just add voice to your list and I think you've got them all.

Sometimes, after changing the batteries, the following settingsare set backto 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 thesesettings can be easily restored, though not automatically. Noneof the dataon the card is affected.

Irwin,
I've always had that problem and I've had my BP for 2 and a halfyears now.It's never bothered me that much but I've always wondered ifothers could infact take up to 30 seconds without loosing their settings. Lou

Hi, when I change batteries all of my settings are lost.
I think the documentation says that settings should be retainedfor 30seconds or so.
It probably takes about 10 to 15 seconds to change the batteries.
Does anyone else have this problem?
