Still, these units do a good job of logging their data, and once you understand the software, it's actually pretty easy to use. Simple, and to the point.
Calibration-wise, I tested eight devices immersed in a circulating water-bath (submerged in double ziploc bags) with a NIST calibrated precision thermometer that read 34.5C. The eight units reported:
34.4C 34.4C 34.4C 34.6C
34.7C 34.6C 34.4C 34.4C
so out of the box calibration was pretty good.
1) It will work plugged in to usb port or not, but your computer will heat it up, so don't measure temperature while it's plugged in
2) You have to hit the play button and HOLD IT DOWN for four seconds to start recording
3) You have to plug it into your computer, and use the software to stop recording. Click the stop recording button at the top right bar on the GUI
4) You can't start recording again, until you zero out the data. To do so go to the parameter set menu in the software, and click on the "Save Parameter" button. You don't have to change anything, but this will zero out the data set and allow you to log new data.
That's it. For twenty bucks it works really well. The manufacturer should have spent 20 minutes on a readable quick start guide, but you can't have everything!
Plugs into your computer using the USB port. First you need to install the software. The mini disc that came with mine could not be read by my computer. Not sure if that is a computer or disk issue. Regardless after about 5 minutes of searching; I found the software online on the Elitech website and downloaded it from there. [...]. I was thinking to myself, why doesn't the manufacturer just pre-install the software onto the device like a flash drive... so all you need to do is plug it in... not sure (I guess there must be more to it).
Once the software is loaded, just plug in, open the software, hit the connect button, then go to parameters.... you program the device from your computer. Then unplug it, press and hold the play button for 4 secs... and your data logging. Very easy in my opinion.
To access the data, is just as easy... just plug in, open the software, hit the connect button, then hit the upload data button. Immediately on your screen you have the data. I then download the data to excel... it exports as a .xls... (not a .xlsx) so should be compatible with almost all versions of excel. I'm using 2003... and it work just fine. (Note: in my case, it exports the data as text, so if you’re trying to build your own charts, you need to convert the data to numeric values.) To reset the device; I found the easiest way to clear the data is just go back to the parameters tab, and save your parameters again... it will clear all the data from the device.
An observation... I found that handling them effects the temp (even for a very short period of time), heats them up. Plugging them into the computer really effects the temp. While this makes it sound like the device is very sensitive, I also found it takes awhile for it to come to back down to room temp. Yea I don't get it either, (sensitive yet slow). In the computer it would heat up to about 79... then it would take almost 30 minutes to get back to 70 degrees. (I have the data to prove it; it's a data logger; lol)
I would purchase again... Haven't had them long enough to test the battery life.
UPDATE: Don't trust the battery charge indicator on the LCD screen. Remove the battery and test the voltage between deployments or every couple months. I checked the voltage on my "bad" unit and found the voltage at 2.5 V (from the 3.0V measured from a new battery). From what I've read about these batteries, they are nearly depleted at 2.6V and so I'll be replacing any battery below 2.7 volts or in use more than 6 months.

Company contacted me after posting this review and offered to send me a model RC-5+ (vice RC-5). This model does not require a device driver and works flawlessly so far. Just download the app and plug it in. I suggest if you have a Mac that you purchase the RC 5+ model. I really appreciated the spirit of the company in reacting to the review.

Success. Worked with the company through several versions of the driver. They are in China and I in the U.S., yet we communicated and got the job done. Highly recommend the company! I would still suggest the RC 5+ model as it does not use a driver.
The second worked half way, ie, it didn't work. It displayed correct temperatures, recorded under factory default settings, and downloaded to the software. Unfortunately, it completely ignored commands from the software (eg, setting the clock to something other than 00:00 on 1/1/2012).
I returned the defective one and ordered two more (7/18). Both defective in the same way. Returned them. Ordered two more (7/26). Both defective. Returned them. Perhaps I randomly received 5 units from one bad batch. After months to let inventory clear, I ordered two more (11/18). Both defective. Returning them.
The first one still works perfectly. I still need two. Four-letter word.
Amazon should remove this product from catalog.
The battery cover on mine was in pretty tight, but worked easily once removed--I recommend using a nickel or a quarter, NOT a screwdriver. Remember 'lefty loosey--righty tighty' or counter-clockwise to open. A firm but gentle pressure gets it moving. Be sure the little tabs are in the right place when you try to close it up. Didn't have any problems once it was open the first time. Others have had problems with seals/waterproofness, but all the seals on mine are perfect, and I don't plan on taking it swimming. I use a small piece of tape to secure the USB cover--the friction fit will hold it, but not securely.
So, not perfect, but for the price, pretty close.
