The first thing you should do is hold the On buton as it's powering up to freeze the Version Screen. Make sure you have a 2.5 or better, or else I would just send it back. A 2.1 would also be okay but depending on how much you payed for it.
The other thing you want to check out is the battery life, a good way to do this is to hook it up to a Dish 1000 or 1000.2 or another LNB that draws a lot of power. If it turns off right away then you can either send it back or buy a new battery supply. If hooked up to any other dish, it should have nearly 3 hours of battery life.
