Is there a way to turn this timer completely off, short of removing the battery? I would have expected it to turn itself off after a while.

No, there isn't. That was the one thing I did not like about this timer. However, I have had it for many months now and used it a lot. The original battery is going strong, so I now consider it a non-issue. If I only need to replace the battery once or twice a year, no big deal.

No. The display will always show the last time it was set to. Do not concern yourself with the battery life because it will last for a long time.

Hi - Not that I know - I just always keep mine at 10 minutes. That's my way of reminding myself that you can do ANYTHING for 10 minutes.

You almost certainly have a bad battery. I own several of these timers, and the batteries last for many months even with heavy usage of the various features. I believe the clock mode is running in the background all the time and you cannot turn that off.

No, but the timer only uses 1 AAA battery. If you'd like though, the battery is easily accessible so you could just take it out when you wanted to "turn it off".

I believe the timer is only for 45 minutes. The other choice is to have it in until you turn it off or the battery dies. It is fantastic and I love the size but we do replace the batteries often.

I've had this pill timer for at least a year and have yet to replace the battery. I have never turned it off, either. I appears to be very reliable. The instruction sheet does not indicate whether or not the battery can be replaced, but there is a web address www.epill.com. Perhaps there is information there. There are very tiny screws under the cap that might provide access, but I don't want to try it until I need to. Hope this helps.

It turns off at the timer was set but it turns back on again without any motions. So basilly, it's on all the time.

Kristen, I have used these timers for years and the batteries last for months. The battery doesn't hold the valve on so length of time won't affect battery life. I believe you have a defective timer.

No, it doesn't have that kind of timer. You can time it to turn itself off - not on.

I apologize, I'm not sure I understand your question. The timer can be Set to run up to 60 minutes. If you want it to run continuously, I'm sure there is a way to disable the timer function.

Yes, I just went out and tested it just now. All you do is scroll through the numbers until it reaches the on position again, and u can reset the timer to turn off in 1-9 hrs real easy.

I don't know. I just turn it on and turn it off. There are many options for timing. The directions that came with it are very complete and detailed. There is a clock for timing. I wasn't interested in those options so didn't read carefully.

Yes, there's a black tab that's pulled to bypass the timer...push back in to set the timer...

There is no way to disable it without unplugging it because there is no button for it. I would'nt leave it plugged in 24/7 anyways because it could be hazardous. so I think thats your best option. Or try reading the manual to see if it says anything just in case.

Yup that's what I have mine on. I bought a cheap timer (2 pack Stanley) from Amazon and it works perfectly. I use the timer function all the time and then turn timer off when I want to operate it manually

You can use your own timer, the one that comes from the company isn't necessary. I replaced my timer with a much more compact model that can be hidden from view better. :D

Hold the side button and the timer button at the same time! The battery might be dead b/ c the battery only lasted about 2 weeks on the one I bought!

No, it doesn't turn off by itself...to my chagrin. I have forgotten it and left it on overnight quite a few times myself.
