Re: Intermittent power supply

i may be completely of base here but does the 395 have a replaceable battery pack like the Montana.That unit has trouble with the battery pack contacts to the unit and the fix is to make sure the battery pack is held tight(think of a foam earplug) within the cavity once the "door" is closed.
