Why doesn't it have an "On/Off" switch? Pulling the battery out each time hurts the battery and ruins the areas battery comes in contact with.

There is a little black switch on the bottom that turns the timer on and off.

It does have an on off switch on the bottom next to the battery. But honestly it takes a very long time for it to drain the battery if that is your concern. But if you want to turn it off for storage I suggest removing the battery because the batteries could corrode and cause a mess. Potentially harming your pet if they get in contact with the corrosion.

Mine has a switch, it's located underneath by the battery. It's a small/tiny black switch.

As a customer, I have no idea why it was designed with no on/off switch. Probably cheaper this way. However, it does work for the intended purpose so is OK by me. I do not remove the battery everyday - just reset it in the pm for 4 am feeding. There are a couple of design "shortcomings" that are problematic, nut it does work. It would be great if there was a "door" to keep the battery from being removed by the cat in his frantic efforts to raid the thing. Alas, it is a decent product, but not "great".

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.

You could unscrew the bottom and disconnect the battery for a minute. I haven't done that with this product, but if you are handy, you should be fine unless the stupid battery is soldered directly to something. It should have a plug but I wouldn't know.

There is a little piece of plastic that needs to be pulled out that is protecting the battery. There is also a switch on the board that you can press to turn it on when it is plugged in. I used this method if I'm using my board at night because I don't want to loose the remote control.

No. It doesn't even have an on/off switch. Just plug it in and let it go. Or not.

There is no on-off switch. So yes, you would have to remove the batteries. the only switch on it is for F or C and a reset hole.

There is a seam under the on off switch, the entire bottom part / the handle pulls off and the batteries go inside there :) good luck!

There is no on and off switch--it comes on when you plug it in and unplug to shut it off. Not what I would prefer, but I haven't had any problems.

You don't HAVE to turn off the switch. I have had mine for about a year and have not replaced the battery once and I leave mine on all of the time. When my mouse is not being used it sits still on the desk. If you carry the mouse around in a laptop case, you might want to switch it off to save battery life due to the constant moving during commuting etc..

There is no on/off switch. To do so requires plugging it into or out of the outlet.

There's no on/off switch and it never shuts off on its own. You have to take the batteries out to turn it off.

I do not think there is a on/off switch. It hook up with the machine, so when you start using it, it will turn on automatically. After you finish it will turn off by itself after a while I think.

There is no on/off button. When plugged in, it's on. Obviously when unplugged, it's off. I hope that helps!

I think you turn the dial to turn it off. We prefer to leave it plugged in and at our preferred setting so we turn it on and off with a foot on a power strip we have it plugged into. But to answer your question, no, there isn't an on/off switch.

If it was a problem they would have added the switch. I've never seen an introvelometer of any brand with an on/off switch. This one is supposed to last two years without being used. The way I see it is if you are using it all the time you don't need to turn it off and if you aren't going to use it more than once every two years you should be taking the batteries out during storage.

No it has no switch for ON/OFF. Just plug in to turn on and unplug to turn off. Have have had one for 18 years before I got this one and never had a problem until I forgot to take it in and it froze.

No "on/off" switch. Whatever time you put the batteries in the unit it stays on for 5 hours and repeats daily.
