Bundled up in a cold dawn, I couldn't reach my pocket screwdriver. So
I managed to jam my pinkie in to press the button down, then push the
battery against it...yes, pain.
BTW here's a battery life data point: I ran a listening demonstration
at Muir Woods on Monday. Jecklin disk with 3032s 100' out in the
woods, two sets of headphones on a bench, 744T on but not rolling. I
used a new Impact IMNPF975 7600mAh battery. I figured I'd quit when
the batteries were gone (I had a 4400, too), but after five hours the
first battery was only at half.
