Review: Worked great for the first couple of weeks. Only used it for about 6 hours, then notice that that batteries super-heated to the point where you could not touch them without burning your fingers...oddly even then the unit seemed to work, but of course the batteries did not last more than a few minutes.

Tried a fresh set of batteries....same result. Wonder if there is some kind of RF feedback loop or something that superheats the batteries.

Anyhow, can't use it now and not sure where to get it serviced or replaced as it is still under warranty. Anyone else experience the same problem>
