if I press the button lightly (without locking) does it turn the device on?

No it does not. You must push until you hear a click to turn it on, then subsequent light pushes change the mode.

Well,...that's just it. It's an odd design because there is NO trigger. The power button is on the back of the unit and you would use your thumb to slide it on and off. The slide button will indeed lock in either the on, or the off, position.

Yes mine turns off and on. It will also go on by itself and if you tap the side it turns off.

Only if you want to turn it on or off by touching with your hand or foot. It does NOT have any moving parts: buttons or keys; it works well, but reacts only to a touch.

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

You have to turn the button. I like this feature since it's easy to tell if the door is locked with out opening the door.

No. Power button on side needs to be pressed. Still good product. Use it almost daily. If left on it will reestablish connection when back in range.

Yes. Push the button once to turn it on, and it stays on. Push it again to turn it off, and it stays off.

Yes.....but if she wanted to lock the button on she may have an issue cause that is a bit harder. Just turning it on is easy though.

No, you have to press the button. The alarm is really loud though. It will surely startle any attacker.

No, but the button is flush with the screen. It is hard to accidentally push.

No.A full push on the switch will turn it on or off, while a half push will cycle through the modes.

I can't answer that definitively, but I have definitely left mine on for a couple of days at a time. But literally there is only one button, and then a volume dial. It should be simple enough to say "push this button to turn it on".

No it doesn't you have to manually press the sleep / power button before you close it.
