My colleagues and I find that you cannot store the pointer in the case because the buttons get pushed and drain the battery.we leave them separate. I hope this helps Micheal.

I have had the same problem. It seems the only solution is to remove the battery when not in use.

use the off button as normal. It will not affect the settings. I tried it on mine and it worked

I'm going to try this...letting it die so it will turn off, if it's not off already, then charging it up, and see if I can get it on. If I can't, I'm just going to send it back and either get another one, or I'm going to have the money refunded so I can get something different.

You need to unplug it. I use a thermostat to control it which turns on at 0 deg F and off at 10 deg F also available from Amazon. It keeps the battery from getting too hot.

To turn the device off there is a small slide switch on the left upper side near the green indicator. From the center (on) position if you push the switch away from you is will tell you the battery life. Pull towards you will turn it off. If you want to end a call, push the red button. Also, if you are using this on your vison don't clip it all the way on. This causes the plastic to flex enough to bind the red and green switches making them difficult to operate.

Yes, there is an on off switch on the bottom. I always turn mine off when I'm not using it and it's in my case so that the battery doesn't drain and it doesn't do anything when I'm not using it.

Mine does not drain the battery, between uses. The secret is to lock the keys (with the switch on the side). If you do not touch the buttons when it has shut down, the battery will not drain. At least mine doesn't

Hello Harold, I had never turn it off because in the user manual says that it turns off automatically, I have been using it for about 2 months and I did not replaced the battery as you mention.

There is a switch on the back (near the plug) to turn the battery on/off. If that does not work, then you have a defective unit. I contacted tdk and they sent me another battery for free, but it wasn't the battery so I exchanged the unit at Fry's where I bought it. The second one has worked flawlessly.

Try and see if there is a plastic tab sticking out of the on/off switch. it keeps the battery from discharging prematurely.

I purchased as a gift for my son at Christmas, he's had zero issues. Once the battery is fully charged, disconnect. Removing the connection from the laptop when finished using would prove ideal. Keeping it connected kills the battery much more quickly. Contact Philips or Batteries Plus is a great place to look. Hope this helps and good luck.

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.

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.

Not sure what you mean by "turn off". It's a battery case when charged that stays in a hibernated state until you press the button in the lower left to activate power. You can hold down the button again for 3 seconds to turn it off or stop it from charging.

I have the same problem too. I also noticed that the battery drains faster due to cold weather. Maybe try using the outdoor covers they offer.

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

Just keep turning the dial clockwise until it turns off.If you can tighten the battery holder/dial by holding it's base while turning the lid clockwise, you can then turn it off by turning the dial counter clockwise. This problem is somewhat of a design flaw.
