How do I turn the calculator off? A button to switch it off is not on the unit.

It's solar powered only so does not need to be turned off. I guess you could turn it off by putting the cover on.

It doesn't turn off. But I'm pretty sure it's just using solar power to run the display when you aren't using it because the batteries never run out. I mean ever. I've had one of these for like 3 years and I haven't replaced the batteries.

The beautiful little pocket scientific fx-260 is the ONLY scientific pocket calculator that runs on solar cells; unique! No batteries! It will last almost forever except that after 10 years my little fx-260 needed to be replaced because I left it out in the freezing cold outside and the buttons are not registering anymore. I bought a replacement. /Lonewolf™

You can program a calculator key. Illumination can be turned off, and it does go dark when the computer turns off.

The first two reviewers are wrong, and MeasuRite is correct: you tare with the on/off button, as with many other digital scales. To actually turn it off, you HOLD the button for 3 seconds.

Included with calculator packaging are instructions on "How to use the calculator". Under Specifications it states in bold type: Auto Power Off: approximately 8 minutes after last key operation. That means it will shut off automatically if you stop using it. Just give it time to shut itself off.

There is obviously no switch to turn off the display, but if you want the display blank you can perform a total reset and the display will be cleared. Remember a total reset will also reset anything else that was stored previously.

No it does not have an off button. It is a decent calculator for the price.

I don't think you can turn it off the but the light from the display is very minimal. Only the numbers are lit, no backlighting.

Push and hold the power button until the unit is off. Push and hold the knob till your unit shows menu. Now, navigate the menu. Clock setting is there.

It should turn off. Mine displays my weight after I step on the scale and turns off a few seconds after I step off the scale.

There are 3 buttons: go, stop, and reset (I believe). So the display is always visible. It's either all zeros, counting in action, or counting on pause. I haven't needed to turn it all the way off, but I imagine that would require removing the battery.

As far as I know, the only way to deactivate it is to unplug it. I have unplugged mine and it has not made me reset the settings.

There is a small switch on the side of the device. You may need to use a small precision screwdriver or a paper clip to flip it to the 'off' position.

It has auto turnoff as others have said. The battery will probably outlast the calculator.

With lights etc away from you there are two buttons the one on the left turns it on and off (you have to hold it down for a while mine works only with the monitor flipped down) the right is sort of an "enter" key, use to set items in menu, with menu off it is like the mode button. In the menu, change motion detection off and the unit will stay on all the time till you turn it off) The battery I got will not charge to the third bar, doesn't last long and I can not find a battery anywhere to replace it.
