So, if you can't find this setting, try not to leave it plugged into a USB port for a long time, or you might explode the alkaline battery. Failing that, rechargeable AAA's are easy to find, and not terribly expensive.

But never have been that good at making it happen! But I did get the door open and got the new battery in! However, I got a surprise: it asked me to "match the battery type" this threw me, for I'm not sure of what "type" battery it is (am assuming it is alkaline"...hopefully this is correct! Am recording tonight, so guess will see how it does!
