Later found out via forums that there was a design issue where the internal battery only lasts about a year and a half. In the first couple hundred units you have to solder the battery...(later units had a battery holder inside) From what I remember FR did not even so much as admit this was a design "flaw." They later came out with the rev2 who's battery lasts 10 years and have the nerve to actually tout it as a feature...
