If you press buttons 1 and 3 at the same time, the unit will lock. This means that none of the buttons will function. To unlock it, simply press 1 and 3 at the same time again. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Sharon Hamm Sent: Saturday, October 23, 2004 11:14 AM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] it's here Hello. I got my bookport yesterday. I think I'm really gonna like it. I'm listening to the manual to learn what all the buttons do. One thing I'm wondering is there a way to keep it from coming on it you carry it in a bag or purse. I worry whether a button might accidently get pressed to activate it. I took the batteries out when it wasn't using it yesterday. Sharon
