Do you have to hold the button down for it to operate,or does it work like an on off switch?

This works like an on/off button. However, since it works on compressed air, it may have to be held in for a short period of time (less than one second)

Its like an on and off switch you push the button in and it activates a switch via a small air line that connects to a switch that plugs into a regular wall outlet. Push the switch a second time and the air pressure turns off the unit. Its a real cool design that eliminates any electric switch near the sink itself which protects you from any potential electric and water contact. It works as long as you have a outlet under the sink to make the connection between the plug in device shown in the picture and you must have the extra hole in your sink top for the air switch to fit into. ( Sort of like spray hose or soap dispenser cut outs that are in most sinks.)

Push and release it runs until you push and release it a second time. It works very well and the switch button itself has no electrical connection to it which makes it very safe to use around water.

One press to turn on, a second press to turn off. It is like a little plunger that pushes air through a narrow hose that connects to a small box with a diaphragm inside. The box plugs into a regular outlet, and your disposer (or whatever) plugs into the box. Pressing the button turns the outlet on like an on/off switch.

Hi, Janet, No you don't hold the button down. Just push it down and it should start up and do the same to stop it. Ruth

Push once and let go it turns on. When done push and let go again it shuts off. Works very well.

You need press and hold button in order to turn it on. it does not drain your battery.

Yes, it is basically like an ordinary switch, except it's remote. However, read the directions if you purchase and install one, it's easy but you must program it for on/off mode.

Yes the switch need to be pressed & when you want to off it, release the button.

You twist it to turn it on and off. There are no buttons or switches. I use silicone grease to coat the rubber O ring with between uses. I use the light for gigging flounder with it attached to a handle. The battery (especially the Duracell red C cells) last a good while and it has been completely water-proof. I want to purchase 2 more; great light!

Yes, it does have a hold feature. On mine it is to the right of the on/off button.

You must hold the switch to activate. Once pressure is released it deactivates.

No you must hold the button down, but it's so powerful that it froths immediately. It's the best and most powerful frother I've ever owned. I highly recommend.

It would appear to be a manual on/off button except for the fact the instructions say it turns on and off automatically. I have been a little stumped by the button myself. My attempts to use it have not been able to give me a firm answer.

Yes, you just have to hold the on button for 2 seconds. If you hold it again, the light comes back on and the must goes intermittent. The instructions tell you how to do it.

Not really. The button works two ways - you can "pulse" it with a quick press, or press a little deeper and it'll lock in the "on" position.

Whether the switch is 'on' or 'off' it appears the same. The 'off' paddle must be pushed to shut the equipment off. I guess to answer your question, the 'off' lever is down when the switch is 'on'.

You just push the button at the rear its a multi-function switch. Not to tough to figure out. For the $ its great. You just need to have that special battery the only real draw back on the light.

Yes it has on and off button. No you don't have to hold the button down continually. It does have a push button bu that is so you can turn the beater to side way if you want. Very versatile mixer. I really love it very much. So handy to use because cordless. Don't have to plug it in so you can work anywhere there is not a plug outlet. I actually bought two of these so if down the years one broke I would have the back up one.

No you do not have to hold the button down while vacuuming. Has a lot of power.

While switched off the power switch protrudes around a third of an inch (eyeballed, not actually measured) and is spring loaded. To switch the unit on, you push the switch in until it engages at which point it only comes out around half as much or less than when it is off. Pressing it again will turn the unit off and allow the button to come back out around a third of an inch again. It has a nice feel to it, and the action is solid and fairly smooth.

It stays on unless you turn the button off. Hope that answers your question.
