[QUOTE="jon_m, post: 517075, member: 2232"] Hi m@ttACT No, I didn't loose sound - everything was working and from memory, for both times it happened I'd been swinging and would have gone to change a setting then noticing the blank lcd. Hello AuMan Not understanding what you are referring to as "encoder"? If correct in presuming either 'Function Select' or 'Setting' knobs then I never noticed anything strange like a blip noise. Your tip re not removing the power cord concerns me, having done it many many times. Made it a 'discipline' to circumvent accidental knocks to the plug or hard bends to the cable when commuting elsewhere. Have to start some other preventative means when it goes in the car. Do take a lot of spare stuff; handle, shafts, batteries (wireless) etc but don't wish to afford a spare control box? Prospect of the detector not turning on at all is terrifying, esp as my trips have become longer sojourns! Thanks for your knowledge. Jon [/QUOTE]
