I've noticed a problem with my 2215. Every once in a while, while holding the unit one handed, it will shut off for no apparent reason. After playing arounf a bit, I found the problem and solution.

I found that my battery door was slightly bent outward. What would happen is I would hold the unit and be pressing on the battery door. As it was bent, this was enough to eventualy make the battery contacts lose conductivity with the unit. BLINK! unit off. I bought a new battery door and this solved the problem for a while. ITS BAAAACK!

So, what have I done now? I took a little yellow post-it, folded it in half, and place it on top of the battery. This basically took up the slack between the bent/warped battery cover and the battery. Problem solved (for now).
