We threw ours away when the drawer git stuck and we had to force it open and broke it. It's junk.

If memory serves, yes you can. That would draw on the battery so I would think that you could shut it off.

It cant be turned off. Only the mouse which turns both things off. But the keyboard does ware out the batteries so I never put the lid on the batteries compartment and try to take them out every time. If I forget it doesnt really matter as they do last for some time and most important I use rechargeable batteries here.

Mine also did not come with batteries. A bigger problem - I can't turn it off. I have to take the batteries out which is a major inconvenience.

I have only had mine for a few months and never turn it off. My husband has had one for over 2 years, never turns it off, and has never needed to replace the batteries. Supposedly they have a battery life of up to 36 months. Hope this helps.

Mine does have an off switch but when it is on it automatically shuts off after 20 minutes. Did you try new batteries? that's pretty odd that it doesn't shut off in the off position. I would contact the seller. You may have a defected one! Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

Just keep turning the dial clockwise until it turns off.If you can tighten the battery holder/dial by holding it's base while turning the lid clockwise, you can then turn it off by turning the dial counter clockwise. This problem is somewhat of a design flaw.

No, you can not turn off the sound, there is no switch, but you could take the batteries out of it.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

You know Mary I haven't looked. It came with them and we use it a lot. Haven't had to change it. If its not played with In a few mins it turns itself off.

On mine there is a green button that one presses and then rotates to turn on and turn off. Also, if you are not getting it turned off when not in use, it will get quite hot and also the battery will run down quickly. I think you can find an instruction book online if one did not come with your set. Hope this helps.

No u can not turn off manually. U can only reset once it disconnects automatically do to low voltage. There is a model with a remote that might do that

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.

You can NOT! It is always ON unless you remove batteries, but we have had it for almost one year and it is running fine with the original batteries.

You don't have to turn it off but you can to save battery life. To turn it off turn it over, there is an on/off switch on the bottom of the mouse,

The one that I bought would not turn off and there was no direction in the packaging to tell me know. I inquired to the manufacturer and was told to hold the start stop button (I think that was it) and it would turn off. Did not work. Only way to turn it off is to remove the battery, Then was told to return it for replacement. This is a really junky product and I would not recommend it to anyone.
