I don't understand how to use this. It comes with batteries, I push the white power button- nothing happens. I bought TWO!

You need to check that the little plastic tab between the battery and the case is out. Hope this helps

The batteries are backwards open it and take little plastics off and put them right side up

All you have to do is plug in power switch to wall outlet, plug in desired item to power switch, make sure that ON button is pressed on power switch, make sure that item itself turned on and then use remote by pressing the corresponding button (1, 2 or 3). I will check to see if I still have the actual instructions to check if I missed anything. ***8/5/13: Sorry --- did not find instructions. I hope you were able to get your devices going. :)

My guess is that it's a bad bit of hardware (battery that isn't holding a charge) or the power button is malfunctioning. You have to hold down the "play" button for a long time to get it to turn on and I think that must put a lot of pressure on the button. I'd contact the manufacturer and tell them what the problem is and ask for a replacement unit.

The power button is the source to turn it on. So, yes you have to use the power button. Did you try turning it on then unplugging it and plugging it back in to see if it would turn on that way?? I'm pretty positive though that you have to use the power button.

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

just put battery in the desk top charger. Make sure it is in the slots at the back and watch the charging light it should change color

Open the battery case. Put batteries in. Then ... Step on and off to activate.

Make sure batteries are in correctly, then hold down power button. Good luck.

i just put in the batteries and then it came on. It takes 2 AA batteries..and it stinks cause you have to buy them. Then after that you may have to push a button or 2 but it should just come right on. :)

You have to hold the power button in for a second or two. It will make a cute little noise when it turns on or off, then you can release the button. Not sure what you mean by "battery light"......nothing lights while mine is charging, but there is a small blue light inside that flashes when the power is on.

I didn't. I took it out of the box, put some batteries in it and it worked perfectly. I'm not sure why yours didn't work. Sorry.

I don't believe any of mine came with one of those battery pull tabs but you may want to check and remove one if you find it. It takes a good amount of force to push the button. I just tried mine once again to make sure I explain correctly. Hold it with your index finger on one side and your thumb on the other, it seemed to work better for me when I put my thumb on the side where I could see writing through the cover. there is s definite "click" as you press the button to turn it on. (You'll do this again to switch to the strobe option and once more to turn the light back off.) I hope this helps!

If I remember correctly, this is one of those buttons you push and hold until it comes on. You can't just tap it over to the on position. I don't have it in front of me to check so if this doesn't work, ask again on Amazon so the question pops again and I'll check

all you do is turn it on and hit the button on the side. If that doesn't work, try charging it for a while and if that doesn't work then you may want to call where it was purchased

Yes, you need to hold the power button when using it. It is easy to use though - it is like a trigger that you hold.

I bought this for my grandson for Christmas -- so I have no idea how to use it. Sorry. Wish I could help you out.

There is no power button on the unit, you just plug it in, make sure to attach the power wire to the init before plugging it into the wall. If you have a way of controlling power to the outlet via switch/remote control or what ever it should power the unit on and off. But if it is off it will not automatically connect to your bluetooth device when you come home
