Is there ever a time when I best shut this thing off, to avoid being detected? Any experiences?

I haven't had the need to turn it off. I unplug it in the city due to all the speed detection signs where I live, it constantly goes off but that's just it working. I did get tagged yesterday on my way to work by a CHP officer on the side of the road with his radar gun out but he never pursued me and it lit up like the fourth of July.

My husband always keeps his on and has never been pulled over for having it.

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.

Sorry, I haven't had that problem and can't give specific advice. What happens when you turn it off and then on again? Doing that often clears a problem with a variety of electronic devices.

I have had mine for 18 months and no problems. Keep it off for a longer amount of time when you unplug and see if it will then reset.

It will turn it off (XBMC offers a shutdown option), not sure about on though... I would check to see what bios settings are available or maybe do some googling to see what other folks are doing.

I haven't tried to turn it off since the booklet said you have to turn the machine off first. I assume it is to protect the machine.

My unit has never done that. I know some players have a feature that will turn the unit off after a period of inactivity but that can be changed in the settings. I've never had this Blu-Ray player turn on by itself so I'm not sure about that part. Either there is a glitch in the player's computer.... or the machine is haunted. If so, call those ghost hunter guys. They won't accomplish anything but you'll get to be on television.

It goes off at the time you set. Or close to that that. I didn't notice premature turn off, of that's the questions.

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.

If it is moved or gets jarred it will make a loud "chirp" as a warning. I haven't had any false alarms with it. I believe if the alarm is triggered that it goes off in like 15 seconds unless the code is entered before that.

When you go to turn it off, it will detect you and it will go off - meaning, the alarm will sound. There is no delay or no remote. So, when you want to turn it off, simply turn it off. You can't stop it from detecting you.

I'm not aware that you can turn it off. My router is in the basement so it's not an issue with me. Black electrical tape is a quick fix if you're really bothered by it, unless some one else here knows how to shut it off. Nothing from Netgear?

It automatically sense the signal ( there is a delay though approximately 20 - 30 sec, some times more than that, less than a min), but it comes up automatically. In case it is not responding, switched off (remove the power supply) and re-connected, it worked ( I came across the situation, once). Hope it answers your queries.

no, in fact the instructions remind users to unplug when done to avoid leaving it on just a little bit

I leave mine on 24/7 and it's done no harm whatsoever. I believe it's meant to be an "always on" kind of device.

There is an option to set the machine to shut off after a certain amount of time. You must manually activate it every time you turn the device on. It's like the sleep function on your TV.

I had my first one for nine months before it died. The thing is, I never turned it off and now I'm doing that with my new one. I know it goes into 'sleep' mode after awhile but I believe it's still better to turn it off if you're not using it for a couple of days. Also, they come with a year guarantee so this time I'm going to try and not lose my receipt.
