Does the display stay on or will it power off after a while?

The display on this calculator is bright and stays on as long as the calculator is turned on. I love the big numbers on the display, they are easy to read for my old eyes. The one drawback to the display is this, the current number you have just entered in is not very easy to read because the paper does not advance far enough so that it can be seen. I usually end up advancing the paper in order to see my last typed in figure if I stop adding figures for some reason. I must say even with that drawback I love this calculator which I use every day!

It stays on; another thing, the viewing angle of the paper tape is hard to see!

Display shuts off automatically after a certain length of time. There is no on/off switch.

Unless you're using the device full time and you have the display at max brightness the battery lasts for several days. On standby mine has gone 2 1/2 weeks before going to below 10% power. Hope this helps.

Yes, I have caught one time where when I picked up the case it turned on inside the case, however it has always shut off when I close it. I also have a timer to turn my screen off after a minute or so, which I would think help if it didn't turn off.

It won't but it depends on your setting on how long your display is. If its on the 5 minute display then yes the screen will go black like its asleep. Other then that its good.

No, it goes into standby mode. I tried to override with the buttons, didn't work. I've been able to squeeze about 7 more minutes out of the battery, by turning down the brightness of the LCD.

The display powers off after a few minutes but I think the amp stays powered up. You can turn it off manually. The unit performs well. Pulls in many more stations than the original amp in my Winnebago.

There is obviously no switch to turn off the display, but if you want the display blank you can perform a total reset and the display will be cleared. Remember a total reset will also reset anything else that was stored previously.

Yes.......... These features are available through your remote control, Although I never use them. I prefer to keep my display off.

Not sure what the digital display would do on this model. It turns on; it turns off. I suppose some complex models might need such a display. This one is not complicated.

Yes, the display stays lighted for several seconds and eventually reverts to 0.0 and then shuts off.

There is a timeout setting in the device so that after a certain time of being on, the screen will blank out. I think I have it currently set at 3 minutes so after it turns on, you can see the display for 3 minutes, after which, the screen will just be black for the remainder of the time that it is on.

I think the answer is that it doesn't. You can lock it so that the pushbuttons don't activate any of the functions, but there is no on/off button and I don't think it ever powers off automatically. The good news is that it is a low power display and is probably similar to a wristwatch in power consumption. Some people actually pop out the two AAA batteries if they plan to store it for a long time.

okay, I was assuming the display would go blank after 5 mins. to save battery but I guess it always stays on and shows the time.thanks

The on/off will not turn the display off on mine either, maybe by design, not sure. However it does turn itself off in a couple of minutes of no use.

LCD displays don't use much battery. Things should be fine for a couple of years. If you're really worried, just remove the battery when not in use, but I don't think it will gain you much.

Yes, the top left button lights up the display for about 30 seconds. It will not stay on.
