how do you turn it on? I have to remove and reinsert the batteries every time I take a reading and it's annoying. Thanks for the help in advance!

All we did was put it on and waited a bit to read and it came on.Then when we took it off it auto shut down. I have not heard back from my parents about the item not coming on or have to reinsert the batteries.

something must be wrong with yours. I just mash the end that has "PRbpm" & the indentation with the bumps on it, (the devise open up like a clothes pin), and stick your finger in it, let go. Sorry didn't see your request earlier. I'd send it back for a replacement if you haven't got it licked by now. Also maybe the battery contacts aren't making contact. hope this helps.

Hate to state the obvious but make sure the batteries are all charged and facing the correct position. Mine did this once. I took out all the batteries and put in fresh and it has worked since. When you depress the "on" button hold it for about 2 seconds before releasing.

Pressing the start/stop button stops the timer from running, but the numbers still appear. Other than popping out the battery, I don't know how to turn that part off. I leave mine on, to that extent, and haven't yet had to replace the battery - it doesn't seem to go through them very fast.

To be honest, I'm not positive whether it does or not. I do not use one, however, there is a picture of a battery in the right hand corner and it has a button that goes up and down next to it but I honestly do not know if it turns the battery off and on. There are no words but just a white line at the bottom and a blue line at the top. I know I read about it when I got it but I'm not sure where the papers are now either. I have had mine for quite some time and have only changed the batteries once, if at all. Sorry I couldn't be of more help! :o(

Make sure the "buttons" on the batteries are pointing toward the inside of the sight. I Stacked mine with the buttons pointing up then sat the sight on top of them and slid it to the edge of the table, putting my finger on the edge and flipped the sight over and screwed the switch cap on. This will make sure the batteries didn't flip over when I was putting them in. If that doesn't work, you might have bad batteries or a bad switch. Hope this helps. When you get it working, it's a pretty good sight. Real good in low light, you can see it for a long way off.

If you're looking at the front- (where there is a silver circle button to turn it on), turn it around, and the lower back side, where the silver bottom is higher up along the blue, there is a tiny little button, that if you push, it pops open the battery chamber. Just turn it around, and feel the silver back side, and you'll see: feel it. It's super easy once you see it. Battery directions (+, -) are written on it, and labeled on batteries as well! Let me know if you need more help!

after I charged my battery, my e reader states low battery and remains on with a caution sign and I can't turn it off. Any suggestions?

There is a switch on the side to turn it on and off. It takes two AA batteries. I just put one in one way and the other in the opposite way and it works fine! I have 3 of them!

Take it apart disconnect the battery remove the fuse or replace if needed but should be ok in the scope turns on. reassemble everything it should work. I have had to do this twice with mine.

I keep mine in the "AUTO" position. When in the holder during daylight hours it remains off, in the dark the "Night Lite" stays on unless there is a light on in the room. At any time, day or night if I grab it out of the holder the light is a constant "ON". When in hand I will turn the control to on or off depending on what I need. When it goes back in the holder I put it back to "AUTO". This question got me wondering so I went around the house and checked them all, they are all working properly. I don't see a way to replace the battery, I'll look into that.

First make sure u put in 2 triple AAA batteries.There is an on and off power button that lites up red when on. It works greats!

Use the on/off switch. If that is not the problem, try replacing the rechargeable batteries.

Maybe it needs a new battery. Mine starts reading immediately. Then takes about 3 seconds to find your exact weight.

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.

remove the batteries and put them back in again, it took a little bit of time to get it going but eventually it took. good luck

I've had 4 that have had just buttons not the print reader. But my friends who have print readers need to keep the glass clean, dry finger and check to see that the batteries are fully seated. Good luck.
