how do you turn it off/on to prevent battery from draining?

The one that I bought would not turn off and there was no direction in the packaging to tell me know. I inquired to the manufacturer and was told to hold the start stop button (I think that was it) and it would turn off. Did not work. Only way to turn it off is to remove the battery, Then was told to return it for replacement. This is a really junky product and I would not recommend it to anyone.

i've had mine since 2009. granted, much of that time it's just been in a drawer, but it hasn't drained the battery yet.

I don't think it turns off. It should not take too much battery life up.I returned m,ine, not because of that but because it was not what I expected. If you keep it, don't worry about the battery life. That is the lease of your problems.

You can't turn it off. The only thing maybe you could do is take the battery in and out, but that'd be too much hassle. The battery seems to last fine, though. I've had mine for half a year, and the original battery is still working.

The other person already said, but you cannot leave the battery in for any length of time or it drains. After each use, I pull out the battery for the next time. I just keep it all in a zip lock. Good luck. If you find the info, please let us know!

There is no way to turn it off, but after a short time it powers off by itself. However, if you barely touch it, it will come back on again. I just put mine in a place where I won't bump it when I'm done.

There's a little plastic piece (transparent) that slides in to block the battery. You could probably use any thin plastic piece, but there is one that comes with it. Hope this is helpful.

I can double check, but from memory, it is always on. The battery consumption is so minimal that it doesn't need to shut off.

Yes this is an option in one of the menus. This can be turned on and off. If you use the GPS it does use the battery a little more then if you don't use it.

There is no turn off button. Just leave the unit idle (unit should not be charging anything or getting charged) and it will turn itself off withing a couple of minutes.

There isn't a way to turn it off. It's only on when it's dark and it's not overly bright. Just enough to be able to see where it is to touch.

If you look at the picture, you will see a small oval button which is an on/off switch...click on---click off...works great., and I have had no problems with the battery cover falling off.

It will remain in what ever setting at the time you turn it off. For long idle times, you want it to be in the open/wild mode. If you leave it in the closed mode, it will drain your battery.

There is no on/off switch. Everything is automatic. I believe if you check the iPhone manual it does have a recommendation for how often the phone battery should be FULLY cycled.

There is no way to turn it off and rather no need to turn it off. I have it for 2years now and the battery still works fine.

To turn it off push the on/off button down til the indicator light goes off. Yes, you can plug it in and not turn it on.

There is a switch on the top of the unit labeled "ON" and "TIMER". You choose the position "ON" if you want the outlet to remain on.

None. As with any battery you want to keep it charged and not deplete it under 10%
