Are you sure you are sliding the little red slide/switch inside the battery compartment back into place when you change the battery? This slide switches between backup battery and main battery. It sounds to me like you are running for about 1 min. on the backup battery, then it drains and your device resets.

Is the red switch correctly moved toward the battery?
If so, try jiggling that switch to see if maybe it is not making good contact.

HTH!

If your imate is not new, try to clean the battery contacts with soft tissue and may be some alcohol, may be there is some grease. Also check for the
status of contact pins.

Also, as u tried the battery with other imate, what about urs with the other battery???
