power goes off when I depress the clip........is this by design?

I don't believe that your unit is working right. it should only go through the 3 positions via the push button. The clip is not part of the circuit.

I don't believe so. I have two of these units and neither of them goes off when I depress the clip.

yea, stick a tiny piece of folded paper or very thin cardboard under the clip that holds the battery down without obstructing the connection for power, and it wont do it anymore. It's just the battery getting knocked around.

I had the same problem. I think it's programmed to power down when there's no sound, like a pause in the music, but then is too slow to come back on. Mine is parked in my basement since I threw away the box and couldn't return it.

The voltage is low, but be careful not to touch wires to each other so that no damage occurs. Cap them or tape them as you remove them. I don't think you can easily turn off power. Also, call your alarm company before you do this to not cause an alert.

I have the same thing here. It's normal for most powered speakers with an external power brick to have some audible sound when the transformer cuts to standby.

Is it shutting down while plugged in to phone and power? If so, I never experienced that quirk, but my experience with Griffin tech support was excellent, so I recommend contacting them.

I have the same situation. The device powers off on its own, but, yes, the lighter port will still send out power. Your battery won't die from it but it may reduce the life of your battery, perhaps. I don't charge the Brightplay unless it's dead. Otherwise, I use the charger for my phone.

There seems to be something wrong with how it works wrt charging and playing. I can get it to work whilst plugged in but not before it switches off- unplugging or plugging in power cord always disrupts it and means I have to restart it, but then it will work Ok still plugged in to the power.

I have power ran from battery straight to cap... It does turn off after it is fully charged up! It's actually pretty cool.

Wade - if you are referring to the power down due to audio inactivity, yes, they do have that. But to tell you the truth, this has not been an issue with me at all. I use them quite frequently for videos, music etc and I haven't even noticed that it has come into play. I actually prefer this mode, as I don't have to power the units down when I walk away. And when I return, they automatically power themselves up. Hope this helps.

There's two tension clips that I mounted to the underside of my workbench that the power strip clicked into. Be warned, if you accidentally pull too hard on a cord plugged into the strip, it will pull it out of the clips.

There should be a rechargeable battery in the clip area. I have not used my light since June and still have power in it. I have charged the lamp 1X since my original purchase in springtime, using it several times weekly in March, April, May, June. I'd say you have a defective product!

That is called an "air gap" tab. It cuts the power to the switch when popped out.

I have tried it both ways, but it always seemed that when I left it unplugged and needed it, there was no power. Now I leave it plugged in all the time. However, probably like other devices of this nature, it might be a good idea to let it run out occasionally and recharge.

Most of the time this is caused by loose connections. The clips seems to be connected but it doesn't connect we'll. you have to strip both side wires or well so it can connect. You better of soldering wires to the clips from both side. Try to press clips with gentle plier or clipper. Good luck. Also make sure to math arrows for proper colors. Most of the time, two series is max it will work.

Man, no idea. Did you get a power surge or something like that recently? I keep mine (and all electronics like this) on a suppressor protected circuit. Not much help for you now, though. You have my sympathies.

Sounds like you might have a dud...if your outlet is on. Bad power supply or something in the charging process...
