No, it doesn't automatically shut off. It must be wired into a circuit that is controlled by the ignition key. That is what will prevent the seat heater from draining the battery.

It does not shut off automatically, however there is a "sleep function" that you can activate after a certain period.

no this does not have an automatic shut off. A suggestion would be to have it set on a timer if this is a concern otherwise see if you can locate one that will shut off.

It does have an automatic shut off. I got one of the things you can plug in and use with regular current and I don't have to use my batteries. The batteries last a long time when I do use them. I have been listening to a CD that has a series of 15 minute talks on it and when I shut it off, the next night the next one in the series comes up automatically. I have been very happy with my player.

I don't think it has an auto shut off, I just take it back and turn it off manually. I have not tested to see how long it runs if it is I don't shut it off.

It shuts off if left unattended for two minutes - you manually turn this on and format it to the instrument you are playing and then shut it off once you have finished tuning...if you do not turn it off and you leave it clipped to your (guitar for ex.)it will keep reading what you play...and use up the battery too....

The unit stays on for half an hour and then shuts off, if you kept it on all night it would really drain the batteries, there is nothing in the instructions about it staying on all night. I hope this helps---Karin

I ordered this because they say here it does not auto off but when it came it says it does in 2 hours and I tried it and it does turn off in 2 hours. What is up? I am going to try disabling it.

It does shut off. I believe the default time for it to shut off is 2 hours after it goes on.

It actually does... It stays on for a LOOOONG time though, which is probably while other users thought it didn't. I want to say it will stay on for at least 20-30 minutes before shutting off. There have been times I have forgotten I plugged it in and went back to use it and it was shut off.

No it does not! Actually, it turns itself off after like 8 minutes to save your battery! Good buy!

No it does not auto shut off. Maybe4 it ought to... but it has no on or off switch... you plug it in and unplug it... these are the only controls...

It will remain in what ever setting at the time you turn it off. For long idle times, you want it to be in the open/wild mode. If you leave it in the closed mode, it will drain your battery.

I've never left it on all night so I'm not sure, but I haven't noticed an automatic shutoff mechanism or anything. Remember that it takes batteries so leaving it on all night could eat through those pretty quickly.

I've never found the auto-shut off to be a problem. Mine has never shut off automatically, and I believe that is a safety feature.

If there's no activity for just a few minutes, the product will automatically turn off. Can be a positive in that it conserves the battery; a negative if you have to continually turn back on.

Once the alarm is triggered it is on for the duration. The alarm has an auto shut off feature so after it goes off twice it automatically shuts off until you rearm it to prevent draining the battery.
