Are you able to turn this off? I ordered for my sister and she states there is no way to turn it off which would deplete the battery.

yes, melody,the lever on the side that opens to insert the battery, is , also the on & off switch. instead of opening the battery door all the way, just open it until you see the edge of the battery. try it to make sure no sound is heard. if sound is still heard, open the battery door just a little bit more. be very careful though. opening the battery compartment too far and the battery may drop out.

hey - no, there is not. We leave it open when she isn't using it... but that is inconvenient.... plus, it really uses batteries fast. otherwise, it has totally changed her life. recommend it

Nope. I have had it for several months and it is still on the same battery. It turns off automatically when not in use for a few minutes, you just press a button and it's back! I love it...and it feels really nice in the hand. I am happier than I thought I would be with it!

I think you need to remove the battery! I bought it for my granny, overall it worked great but because this little issue she found the perfect excuse to not use it anymore, is really complicated for her to do that everytime &#128542;

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.

If memory serves, yes you can. That would draw on the battery so I would think that you could shut it off.

Yes. It was turned off with the power button. Brand new batteries went dead. You can take out the batteries when not being used. I didn't expect I would have to do that. I already bought a different one anyway.

Yes! But I hope yours will turn off. Mine will not. The on/off button is broken!!!!

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.

You can turn it off for optimum battery life. I never turn it off but I've only had it about a month now and haven't needed to replace the battery. There is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

It's shouldn't turn off unless the device that you have it connected to is already fully charged then it will shut off by itself. I would try emailing them for support at tony@oxausa.com

Marissa - How do you turn it off?I started using mine mid September 2007, and now (Feb 3, 2008), after logging about 200 miles, it's already died! It might be because I've never turned it off, because I don't know how... I just got a new one, and I wnt to try to preserve the battery life on it. Can anyone tell me how to turn it off? Thanks!

Hold down on the ON/OFF button a few seconds, do the same thing to turn it off.... and unplug it, I hope this helps you.

Sorry but I dont have the answer to this one. I never thought about turning it off.

Mine does have an off switch but when it is on it automatically shuts off after 20 minutes. Did you try new batteries? that's pretty odd that it doesn't shut off in the off position. I would contact the seller. You may have a defected one! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

You got it! Can't turn the @#$% thing off once it is connected. Have to shutdown the computer and then unplug it. I plug it in and do a weekly backup, then shutdown and unplug it. A pain, I'd rather just reboot before my backup then eject the thing.

No, I don't think there is any way to turn it off. The timers will run until they hit 24 hours and then zero out. I'm not sure why you would want to turn it off, unless you were concerned about battery life. I use mine daily for nap and evening sleep times, plus i use the night light periodically. The current batteries lasted 6 months.
