Katrina and list: I think I'll stick with trying to get into the menu; if you only knew how I fight to get things like this to open up (should be simple) but for whatever reason, these kinds of things cause problems for me; never could get to the battery compartment on the cordless phone!

Remove the battery. You might wait a minute or so and put the battery back in. 2. Power on the unit. When prompted to select type of battery, choose nickel metal hydride.
