The unit came, I followed instructions by charging the rechargeable batteries on the charger with the USB to computer for 6 hours. Well actually it was more like 8 hours. I then attempted to use the unit which continually decided to turn itself off repeatedly before I could even get to the first menu. It said the battery was low. OK so I decided to put it back on the charger and actually left the unit charging for 2 days. If that didn't work well I'd have to think of another way. So here again I turned the unit on and voila the battery showed as full and I began going through the menu. However, that would be short lived. If I paused for 2 seconds or so to look at the instructions the unit decided once again that the battery was low and immediately turned itself off. Well - at that point I was about ready to *&@%**!! I pulled out a barnd new pair of AAA batteries and replaced them in the unit. And off again I went through the menu and once again I paused for a second or so and low and behold the "battery low" indicator came on again - and the unit turned off. OK - I give up!!!! It is as we speak on the way back to the vendor. So here I am once again "shopping" for a similar unit with the same attributes of this unit. I really don't think that I want to try another one of these RCA units. I say that only because I have searched the web and have not been able to locate any positive postings on this unit. But I must be fair and say that I also have not heard anything negative about this unit either. I guess time will tell. I did see however that this unit is not listed on the RCA website as one of their products any longer - maybe that in and of itself is statement enough.
