Thanks, as always, for the prompt advice. It's a new unit, with new batteries (You may recall that I won it at Amersfoort), on closer inspection, it occurred that the up select button was stuck down, maybe the moulding is slightly malformed, I couldn't quite see, so I don't know if it's a manufacturing fault. Anyway, judicious use of a jeweller's file seems to have cured it.
