What you say is always a good idea. However, it can be done by the consumer with some care. I recently got the "L" on one of my 8103s. The change over probably made it 'batteryless' for 10 to 15 min. Lo, and behold, the settings were still there. Maybe there is a big capacitor in there somewhere that will hold the voltage for a small period of time.

In the manual it says a flashing L will appear when the voltage drops below 2.2 volts.Then it also says if the lithium battery should fail all data will be lost and the Tx will not function.
AFAIK, it has to be unlocked by a tech :( Hence changing the battery yourself requires extreme care to avoid loss of power during the process.
