17bii Battery Change - Brian H. (Houston) - 08-28-2008 So, it's time to change the batteries in my 17bii again, but I've reprogrammed more fantastic equations that I don't want to lose (like what happened to me the last time I changed the batteries). Does anyone know of a way to change the batteries in a 17bii without losing what you've stored in memory? I looked for this topic in old threads, but didn't see where it had been discussed before. Thanks in advance,
Brian

Re: 17bii Battery Change - Martin Pinckney - 08-28-2008 Is memory loss normal with this particular model? I don't have this problem changing batteries on my Pioneers.
Re: 17bii Battery Change - MikeO - 08-29-2008 Have the new batteries out and ready to insert. I put the case in my hand, then slip the calculator face down into it, about 3/4 of the way in. I found that using a paperclip to remove the batteries works well: slide on end alongside the battery stack and gently pull out with slight pressure on the side. Then slip the new batteries in immediately. Hope this helps. MikeO
Re: 17bii Battery Change - Peter A. Gebhardt - 08-29-2008 Martin, I've lost my elaborated equations two times before. To not get fooled a third time, I've used the described way and had no problems. Although all pioneers "backup" the calculators memory by some sort of capacitor (as I learned later on, when bringing my problem to the attention of other forum members), I also wondered why especially my 17bII+ had these problems. s/n: CNA42903649 Best regards

I wonder if the problem is related to the first three characters of the serial number ...
