Will this scale auto-shut-off if it is plugged in with an ac adapter?

Hi, Randoma. The scale will auto-shut-off in 60s if no operations, please noted.

I have been using my scale plugged in. So I tried with a 9 volt battery and it worked fine. Try a new battery. I tried it with the plug attached and not. Worked either way for me. Good luck!

I purchased the Etekcity professional 22lb 9310 model scale and it's powered by two AAA batteries and has an auto shut off. No power cord.

I have had no problem with battery power and have not needed to use it plugged in. Sounds like you have a bad battery or a returnable scale.

It does have an automatic Shut Off. I do not know the how long before it shuts off. Contrary to instructions, I leave mine plugged into the accessory socket. Have for years and never had a problem.

Yes, the scale does have the auto off feature, but I don't know how long it takes. I haven't used it enough times to find out and the accompanying literature doesn't say. I bought this scale because it's used by Old Dominion Soap Company (odsoap.com) where I took lessons in how to make soap. Th owner has many of these scales and recommended it highly. She may be able to answer your question.Her name is Carole Kindel.

The directions say that the auto shutoff feature is set to 3 minutes. It does not show any way to change it. So I assume it is hard wired. I find that 3 minutes is pretty good for the auto shutoff. I also timed the boot time for the scale. It takes 3 to 4 seconds for the scale to be ready after hitting the on button. I find that to be quick enough.

It's auto on and off. You place the scale on a hard (not carpet) surface and step on it. It turns on automatically. You have to make sure that there are batteries. It takes two of those circular batteries. The battery compartment is at the back of the scale frame.

No. The unit (Amplifier) has a cable to sync with the Receiver to auto shutdown when not in use. It seems to work, mostly. :)

Yes. It will run until you turn it off. There is a setting for an automatic shut-off too if you want to use it.

I have gotten much more than 2-3 minutes before auto shut off... Maybe 8-10 minutes? It stays on an exceptionally long time. Very helpful. This is an outstanding feature of this scale. Plus, if you require longer, you can use the included AC cord - I am not sure if it ever shuts off if it is plugged in. In either case, you don't have to worry that when you come back to it after doing something in the kitchen that you will have lost your readings. I use this scale every day, and am 100% happy with it.

I have thrown away the packaging so I am not sure, although I have a new one still packed that says it does have an automatic shut off.

It should turn off. Mine displays my weight after I step on the scale and turns off a few seconds after I step off the scale.

So long as I have the AC adapter plugged in and my calculator is running on the transformers power it doesn't shut off. I don't know what happens when it's on battery power? If it doesn't time out and shut off, then for sure it's going to shut down when the batteries die.

It does have one. .I think it defaults to 2 mins and I think it is adjustable. . I do know that you can turn on and off the auto shutoff so it will stay on all the time if you want. My wife loves this scale and the auto shut off was an issues on her old one but on this one it gives her plenty of time to do all of her measuring and weighing without shutting off.
