Yes mine notifies me also and I am about to take that off. It never fails that I get the notification when I am searching for brush and I lose about an inch and a half off the bottom of the screen until I hit the ok button. It is a cool feature if I were using it for other things, but not for that. I do like the update feature though. It told me there was an update yesterday, so I came in the house, downloaded it and will go turn the unit on later and install it. Very easy to do! I have not recorded yet, but plan to this week on the trip.
