Re: [AN1x] just changed my battery

2010-06-02 by dave

thanks Jeff. I will try that tonight hopefully.  I had to do a reset after the battery was changed, it is not optional.  Of course, I tried the reset again after discovering my new issue, won't necessarily call it a problem as it is not, just a minor nuisance.  I also tried turning the pots I changed back to the position they were in before I got to work. Loose connectors, hmmm. Better get out my flashlight.  LOL!
