Not sure about how fast it'll discharge. I haven't had to use it but I tried for 10 second straight with no issue.

this item is not effective. It broke within 3 days. I wouldn't suggest to use this due to its not going to work when you need it and you may end up getting your own self hurt or killed in the process

actually it depends how many volt or watts is this if its high voltage it could kill a person if he very close but this type is small it want hurt that bad but it will scare attacker u can push the trigger for only for 2-5 second that's enough unless he or sh attack u

Well it has no spark gap so it will not burn out.About a minute till it runs out of power. Its not a 19 million no way. But it's very effective for its cost!

Great! Thank you both so much for your responses. It was the one thing I used a lot on the old one I'm replacing, but the documentation and photos do not show that button.Thanks again!

I apologize, I'm not sure I understand your question. The timer can be Set to run up to 60 minutes. If you want it to run continuously, I'm sure there is a way to disable the timer function.

Roland is wrong, I just got mine and used it, it time stamps date and TIME. It is an option you can turn on or off. Really handy!!

You can set the light to come on when you hit any button. Stays back lite for about 2 seconds. No setting the time it stays back lite

There should be a setting under the menu to tell it what time to do this, or possibly shut it off entirely. Alternatively, do what my girlfriend does and just unplug it when you aren't using it. Check the menu though, I am fairly certain there is a setting.

I take that back, just got home and I see a timer button on it. I have never used it!

There's a small button on the right that lets you choose between a bright back light, a dim back light or no back light. Even the dim is too bright for me. I turn it off but then have no way to see the time.

Mine came displaying 12 hour time, and when I first pressed the button to set it, it switched to 24 hour time. But then about a year later, when I reset it for DST, it switched back to 12 hour time, and nothing I did would switch it back. Sorry I can't help. Somebody is making a fortune off of these clocks, because they have about $5-10 worth of parts in them.

I haven't actually timed it but my guess is that it shuts itself off in about two hours. For my use in walking the dog and having it on at the fitness center I don't find this to be a problem and actually a good feature in the event you forget to turn it off. There is no warning and I don't know if this feature can be turned off. Ooooops, I learned something from the response by Walter.

The time function is useless. I could not figure it out, really. I think I did it opposite...whatever. I just use the time override and forget it.

Wow, thanks for the post. For me less buttons is good. LOL. I may have to start saving for this one. Can you give another quick comment on how easy it is to use?Thanks a lot Thomas.Lamar

Hi Joyce. It isn't easy to do because the directions are worthless! It will set! Just keep experimenting with the buttons while it's in time/date stamp. It's been months sense I reset mine and I really don't remember what sequence of buttons I pushed. Sorry. I wish I could be of more help.

The clock is only visible when you push the Display button (only shows the time temporarily for a few seconds, then returns to displaying either the station frequency or file name of the music currently playing). The clock is 12-hour format only; there is no 24-hour standard time format available. From my experience with this unit, the built-in clock isn't extremely accurate. It's generally less than a minute off every month or so. For most people, this is good enough. Me personally, though? I'm glad the clock stays hidden by default because I have a clock mounted to my dash above the stereo.

I am sure the timer allows you to manually override the timed settings. (Most timers do allow this.) The On/Off buttons provide this capability.

i don't use it for that function so i don't really know, but it's not on there as a specific button as you can see.hope this helps.
