In reply to:
i am surprised i haven't thrown the remote at the wall. it stays illuminated just long enough for me to find the function i'm looking for and goes black before my finger reaches the pad. and it eats batteries pretty good.
there's a section in the 3805 manual that shows you how to change the illumination times for the remote. and its some secret-squirrel combination of buttons too, definitely NOT something you'd find in a menu. believe me i've felt your pain too. but i cant say that i've had an issue with batteries, i dont think ive had to change mine since i got it in december.
