The instruction says that all programming will be lost when you change the batteries. If it's true, it must be one of the stupidest remote designs ever. What's so hard to have some sort of a capacitor to support the programming for at least 10 seconds.
Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has ever tried swapping the batteries really fast to preserve programming. I'm hoping the instruction is wrong.
Thanks

It's not an issue. I've changed mine and lost no programming.
