It should turn itself after a short time of idleness. You might try some rechargeable batteries also.

It turns off by itself (standy) after some period of inactivity but like most gadgets these days there is no complete off button.

Really. It should turn off by itself. Best to contact manufacturer. However, I must say this product isn't easy to use.

I've used these daily for years and there is no way to shut it off. The battery should not run down for a long, long time. BTW, I bought a replacement timer from Amazon and it did not work AT ALL right out of the package, so I don't know what has become of this product, which used to be excellent.

I don't remove the batteries at all. I just open the battery door to turn them "off."

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

I have the same exact issue. I have the recharbale battery pack, and i watch him playing with it, I guess you cant turn it off, similar to an iPad, however my two year old loves turing it on and off and waving goodbye to it.

Ha! Funny you should ask because I have to change my battery also. If you look at your two ear pieces you will notice that half of one is half black and half green. That is where the batteries are located at. Gently, with your fingers, push up and that black cover should move and then lift it off. Once you are done make sure that you snap it back into place and that it is firmly secured.

I've had the same experience. I think it has something to do with the batteries only being for the clock display; not to run the unit so you need to keep the radio plugged in when you play it, and when you "power" it off, the batteries keep the clock on. IDK it's a real lame feature and I sent the company a harsh review of the product basically saying it was a very poorly designed product. You probably saw my review about it but I wasn't happy.

We either run it directly off the battery or get a siren driver. http://www.pottersignal.com/product/datasheet/8880143_SSX-52Series.pdf

No way to turn it off that I know of. It is probably a good safety feature.

You can mute the alarm but it will still monitor the temp. If leaving frig off for a while taking batt out would save their life.

The unit consist of two items. The sensor is attached to the garage door. It has a button battery. The receiver is located in your home. It is plugged into a normal electrical outlet. Yes, there is a way to "turn off" the sound (for example if you are working in the garage with door open). I have not had any major issues with this device. The original button battery died within a few weeks. However, I went to Battery Plus for a replacement. No problems after that. Here in Minnesota, the outdoor unit is subject to cold. Still no problem.

I believe not be possible to turn off the clock. But the battery drain is minimal. Sometimes occurs the batteries fail and continue running clock for weeks

There is a circular dial on the top of the device, underneath the reticle, same spot where the battery sits. You turn this left and right to change between settings and to turn the device off, I can't remember off the top of my head what it needs to be set on to be off, but all you need to do is look down the reticle while turning the knob.

I do not see a way to turn the sound off. For in class timing I use my smart phone set on vibrate. This is a great timer in the kitchen.
