Another question ... I'm reading the review that gave this one star ... do you have to hold the switch down the entire 30 minutes while using it? I'm confused. THANKS!

I'm sorry if I confused you. Yes you have to hold the switch. I think that is a safety issue. If you keep the switch down it would be burn you. It gets very hot. I love mine

No. You hold the switch down until it reaches the desired temperature then let go. It will start to cool down gradually so to heat up again you just hold the switch again. I hold until it gets hot, hot and then release & it stays warm for about 20 mins.

I put a hair elastic around it to keep the button down. I know that thwarts the safety of it, but I like the heat. Just don't fall asleep if you're going to do that.

Yes you hold the switch down to heat. I release it when warm enough and then as it gets cool I hold switch down again. This is to keep you from burning yourself if you fall asleep.

You unplug it and buy something else! I had one of these and it was IMPOSSIBLE to set, keep time, etc. It was very satisfying to end its usefil life against my garage floor!! If you have not bought it yet, don't. If you have, sorry!

Yes, that's correct. I think the amount of time that it stays off is programmable. This is quite a nice switch although I haven't figured out how to "train" it to only come on when it's dark. I haven't really taken the time to work with it. The support folks are very helpful and friendly.

You squeeze the switch that is on the bottom of the cluster. Works well. I have purchased several hundred of these and have only had 1 that wouldn't work. If turned on and left to run until discharged they will last about 5 days. If you turn them off when not wearing they will last for weeks.

I've had mine on for about an hour at it's longest. I don't leave it on without something in the cup, and I don't leave it unattended when it's on. The switch is very convenient for turning it off and on as needed. It also heats up very quickly. I've been using it for about one month, so I can't verify durability. It seems to work well, except it's not quite hot enough.

Yes, it will turn itself down, then off. It will even remove itself and move itself into the fridge after 12 hours. NOT!!!That's a SWITCH, on the front, not a TIMER.

If you take the timer off doesn't work properly? And if it doesn't work properly then why do you need a timer it has a tour for our switch on it that you can click to play everything

I just want to add onto what Energy Guy said. Yes. Flipping the switch for 3 seconds will leave the light on. The only interesting thing is, when you wait 3 seconds and flip the switch again the light comes back on even without motion. I thought I was going to have to wait till the morning till it reset itself, but, after about 5 minutes of a constant on, it reset back to motion.

See edit further down... I JUST looked through the menus when I got this question... I haven't tried it, so I don't know if it's what you're looking for, but under the "System Settings" menu, there's a menu called "Tool" that has a couple of settings that look like they might be used as timers ("Power Off," etc.). OK, edit... Had a chance to try it - only tried it with FM, but since it basically just totally powers down the whole unit, it should work for all functions. Using the above instructions, and using the "Power Off" menu, you can set the timer in 10-minute increments, up to 120 minutes. When done, it powers off the entire unit; to get it to turn back on, you must press and HOLD the right-most button. It was a little disconcerting when I tried to use the "Menu" button to turn it back on, and nothing happened... Once the timer has turned the unit off, the timer is reset to "0" -i.e., the timer is not active. Because of the way you set it, I was afraid it might stay set on a 10-minute turn-off until I went back in and zeroed it, but that's not the case. If you want the timer again, you have to reset it, each time. I also do not agree that it's not worth the very low price. I find the sound pretty good, the volume is good, etc. I'd like to know what some people thought they were going to get for such a low price... Then again, they may have simply received a bad unit... . .

Just turn it on maybe 2 minutes before you use it..mine doesn't do that at all..

You do not have to keep the switch depressed, just the trigger to keep it running. The "trigger" is part of the handle which gets depressed just by holding it.

My switch is 100% silent. I even went back after you asked this questions and tested it to make sure I was just not noticing it. I don't hear a click or any noise at all in a whisper quiet room when the switch goes on and automatically back off 5 minutes later (that time is adjustable).

The light will automatically turn off 1 hour after reaching full power. The switch does need to be on for it to work.

I use mine as needed, it stays on for about 15 minutes then turns off, if needed just start it again.

I turned the remote switch on, unplugged it from the power source, waited about 30 seconds, and the remote switch reverted to the off position when the power source was plugged back in. The remote had to be pushed again to go into the on position once power was restored. Good question. It made curious to try it.

The timer is set only by the button. Press it once for "Hold" (i.e. on, no timer), again for 1-hour timer, again to cycle through the next three timer durations, and again to turn it off. This device acts as the switch...as long as the switch you plug it into is on!
