Hi,
My remote's backlight seems to stay on for long periods of time, even when left unattended. I'm finding myself needing to recharge every 3 days. Is this normal, or do I need to return?
No, this definitely isn't normal. The backlight should only turn on when you tilt the remote up to activate the microphone, or press one of the buttons.
Presuming you are not leaving the remote tilted when you place it down, it sounds like one of your buttons might be stuck.
Can you check all the buttons, one at a time, and make sure they return correctly to the raised position after you press them? (You might want to do this in a different room, to make sure Media Center doesn't get confused by all the buttn presses).
On the recharge time, this will vary depending on how much you use the remote, especially for voice. I get 1-2 weeks between recharges on my own Amulet, with moderate use each day, but if I'm using it extensively over the weekend, I might only get two days out of it. So this in itself doesn't necessarily suggest you have a faulty unit.
