Its not your AA batteries, ( these only for the clock ) you also need a M12 battery that runs the radio, the indicator tells how much charge is on this battery not the AA, it will flash whenever you don't have the M12 battery installed.

I've had the same experience. I think it has something to do with the batteries only being for the clock display; not to run the unit so you need to keep the radio plugged in when you play it, and when you "power" it off, the batteries keep the clock on. IDK it's a real lame feature and I sent the company a harsh review of the product basically saying it was a very poorly designed product. You probably saw my review about it but I wasn't happy.

Hi Roy, I bought two of these items and neither worked. I even bought new batteries thinking that could be the problem. I had to send them back for a refund...

if its only a month old and the low battery light came then there's s problem. my batteries last about 18 months to 2 years. Are the batteries any good? sounds like the first set were bad and so were the second. The display will go blank after a while to save battery life. pressing a button will bring it back on.

I used AA battery in each of the three that I bought. All worked. Check the polarity. Positive in first. If that is correct, then I think you got a bad one.

It's never happened to us. Are the batteries new? I would replace those and if it doesn't help, return it. It may be defective.

I do not know what your problem would be, as I have not replaced the batteries in mine since I bought it and that has been since April 26 of this year. I do not get on the scale every day though, if you are doing that, maybe that is why the batteries are being used up. Or it may be the type of batteries you are using. Check with Radio Shack to find out the best batteries you can get, or get the rechargeable batteries, it is expensive at first, but in the long run, it would be cheaper.

I had the same problem and I changed the 2 AA batteries in the handset and problem solved. I had assumed because the LED display said it was fully charged it was, but the batteries didn't hold the charge. I was just about to buy a new phone when I figured that out!

Try them in multiple devices to make sure it's the batteries I have had zero issues with the batteries. Also make sure that there is no corrosion from anyou old batteries on the contacts.

Mine did the same at first. I made sure I had a brand new, fresh set of batteries, and it's been great ever since. I suggest good, name brand alkalines such as Duracell.

Hi, I contacted Sylvania help center somehow, and they said it is highly unusual for the batteries not to last even a day. They suggested returning unit. I also tried brand new batteries; they suffered the same fate. Thanks.

You are lucky. Mine didn't last long enough to need new batteries. It was a complete waste of money. Sorry I couldn't help.

Try removing the batteries then put them back in. If this doesn't work you are SOL.

I was still trying to decide what to do, and whether or not to call customer service and order a new computer (based on what people were saying online) when I thought, "let me check the batteries first." Sure enough, they were very low voltage - enough to run the LCD display, but not enough to change resistance apparently. I put new batteries in and the problem has gone away. Try that first, before calling customer service or ordering a new computer.

Sorry to hear your having trouble brother!! I have owned mine for almost a year and I just checked it, working just fine with the original batteries plus I still have the 2nd pair which they included. The best thing to do is contact the manufacturer, I've talked to them and they have a great customer service dept. I think they will be more than willing to help. Good Luck

Check and be sure you have the batteries in correctly and try different batteries also, I have bought new batteries that were no good before. I have had mine for 2 years and no problems
