Jarrell/William: The decoders use a type of memory for the CV settings that does not require power to maintain its memory. Similiar to an EEPROM. About the only thing that could change it would have to be electrical. Even the magic wand itself doesn't change the memory, but from a magnetic field induces a voltage into a circuit that does.
As far as the magic wand inadvertently changing the settings, the few times I have used mine required a very close proximity to do anything.
