how long Is it "responsive" after it is last talked to? I.e., if no one interacts with it for 10-20 minutes, then someone talks, will it answer?

the response is fast like 5 to 10 seconds later of what you say, it only works when you say something to Pete up close. if you do not interact with Pete, and then you do it does work as long as the on switch is on.

Our conversations with Peter were very short like greetings. Therefore, he did answer every time, as we remembered. He was dropped and broken for some time now.

I have never left it on for that long. I would imagine it would still respond after being left on for 10-20 minutes. As long as you have enough power in your batteries.

If the on/off switch is left in the "on" position, Pete will repeat when someone talks. It does not answer, it only repeats what is said.

If you talk just a bit louder than the people in the run it will repeat what you say as long as you want it too! Mine has never failed!!!! GOOD LUCK!

Thirty minutes is nothing compared to how long it can take to get a reply on this board. However, if you haven't had Garmin solve your problem yet, there are a couple of things you might try. A reboot is one. Turn the switch to the on position and hold it there for about 15 seconds or so. If this fails, you can try a hard reset. You do this by placing your finger in the lower right-hand corner and switching the unit on. If this works, say yes to the question. Unfortunately, since your unit could not come on without a hard reset you will lose the data you have input into the device (unless you have already backed up the unit, a suggestion I always tell people to do before doing anything).

If you are in need of a quick response this is not the one for you...it takes over three or four minuets for it to register.....do not know if I have a defective one or not...cannot get a response to talk with anyone about the problem...I would suggest that you look for a better one....Joyce r.

I am not sure I have the answer. I used it for a couple of hours and was ok.

A few seconds. There may be a millisecond pause/stutter with whatever you are doing on the b machine when it connects.

Yeah that was the same for me. I used it for 2 plus weeks to get used to it but it never happened. I did return it and im still working on finding one that works for me. Hope this helps. Take care

When you wake it. It has a small lag of 2 secs or so. Type a few letters and it should pick up. I've never had to reconnect it since I got it. Hope that helps.

It either on or off or hi and low. It gives GREAT lite - so soory for the long delay in replying back. This is a great deal. I've seen this same brand for $150.00

As far as i can tell it is continious. i did not see a limit in any documenation and so far it continies beeping until i turn it off. The longest time has been near 2 minutes. Hope this helps.

Sorry, can't help. As far as I am concerned it is a 60 minute timer. I am not aware of any way it can do more than that.

Why are there no responses to my question, after 8 days now? I suggest three possibilities:1. Tech savvy shoppers don't feel like wasting their time with such a simple question.2. Many shoppers don't notice there is a product discussion area so far down the web page.3. Nobody else knows what this device does either, even the seller! ; )

The keyboard goes to sleep (power saving mode) after 10 minutes of inactivity. It takes 2 keystrokes to wake from power saving mode. When not asleep, the keyboard responds instantly.

It should respond quickly, so it probably is a defect. Mine quit altogether, and I've gone through more than 12 rounds of 'customer service' I recommend returning it while I can

So far I have had no problems using it with my desktop. Response time is the same as if I was using the plugged in keyboard. Please let me know if you have any specific concerns and I will test them out.
