How do you turn it off?? My battery was dead within a week because I could not find any on/off indicator. Before I give a bad review I want to know

The green/red sight shows in the viewfinder. If you see it, it is on. Spin the dial till the sight disappears and it is off.

On the left side is a dot. Make sure the R or the G is over the dot. That is the off position.

Turn the numerical brightness dial to "0". I had a similar issue until I noticed the 0 setting turned the sight off.

It is one of the options on the dial located on top that changes between green/red points. It should be on the "R" or "G" when off. Hope this helps

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.

There is a circular dial on the top of the device, underneath the reticle, same spot where the battery sits. You turn this left and right to change between settings and to turn the device off, I can't remember off the top of my head what it needs to be set on to be off, but all you need to do is look down the reticle while turning the knob.

I have a button on mine to put the power on the phone or to turn it off. I got mine in January 2013. I hope you have better luck them I did. After six months I can no longer charge the battery. They only give you 90 days warranty. For the price you pay you would think they could do better than that. Good Luck.

Nothing useful to add unfortunately. I have just bought mine, charged up the battery, and now it keeps turning itself on and off. I was going to try leaving out the battery, but will also try a firmware download, as suggested. Thanks.

Gary, just tried turning off (power button) the e250 as it was playing - when I turned it back on, it was exactly where I had turned it off. Any other test you might want me to try? Jerry

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.

i think there is a turn (off /on) tab on the back side. or simply unplug it. i always leave mine on but its up to you.

Bad battery clearly. Mine has been running for months. You don't shut it down. Are you sure the battery was installed correctly? Might have shifted away from contact or something.

Hold the side button and the timer button at the same time! The battery might be dead b/ c the battery only lasted about 2 weeks on the one I bought!

There is no battery indicator nor does it tell you the battery level.......

When the on-off switch is pressed to "on" the screen lights up bright enough for me to see in the dark. I have not discovered any way to stop the light from coming on, or for making it brighter or darker. The battery seems unaffected by having the light on for a long time, but how can I measure that when it just does its own thing?

Hi D Silverman, you can turn it off by holding the power button down TWICE. Both times it will make a distinct beep together with a flash of light. WHen you press it down at first it will sound a briefer beep with a blue light. The second time it will sound a three tone beep together with a red light. This will signal that the device is off. Hope it helps. Yes user manual is very poor.

When you're using AA batteries, and they run out...does it alert you with a message or icon?It must...but no one has mentioned in the reviews. Does it tell you LOW BATT at any point? Just don't want to be in middle of continuous shot and have the thing quit on me.Thanks,dix4@me.com

I was just about to suggest (and feeling a bit smug about it, I'll admit) that you simply re-boot. I had forgotten about the non-removable battery. Oops. Who feels foolish now? This is a great post. I hope somebody comes up with a useful suggestion.

I haven't used mine yet but plan to soon. I've heard from other reviewers that you must remove the batteries to turn the device off, so maybe that's part of the problem.

I think you may have gotten a defect battery because I only charged mine for an hour or 2 when I first got it. (I disconnected it because the charged light turned green) and I was able to use it all day yesterday and today. I still haven't gotten the low batter indicator.

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.

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.
