Hi Paul, There was a revision and what that did was to reduce the daily drain when the bn was turned off, but it didn't eliminate it.
Remember that it can still sound preset alarms and such when its turned off, and also it can let you know whether the ac adaptor is on or off as well.So, there's clearly some degree of constant monitoring even when the bn is off.

I remember hearing about that a year ago when I was on the list but I thought I heard that a software revision had corrected the problem. As I remember, people were upset because, if they left a flash card in the unit, the drain was pretty fast. I remember Larry or someone stating that the problem would be fixed with the next software release. It sounds like that didn't happen or the drain used to be even worse. I wonder if I just misunderstood what I had read so long ago<grin>. At 11/12/2003, you wrote: >Hi Paul, >Yes, the BN LOSES ABOUT 5% of its charge per day even if not used.
