Does anyone know (1) how long until the auto shut off feature kicks in and (2) is it possible to leave the scale on indefinitely?

Auto shut off kicks in after 60 seconds of idle.No. You have to touch it/use it within the 60 secs period.

I honestly have not tried that. I used it for the first time last weekend for 2 items I am selling on ebay so that I can purchase usps postage on paypal. I did not leave it plugged in. when batteries are involved I take out the batteries as well if I will not be using it any time soon, to avoid it messing up the equipment.

One of those little flat batteries like a watch battery only bigger. I thought mine was dead once but I took it out, wet it, and put it back in and it was fine. Since then, I've noticed that if the scale is not used for a while, it kind of "shuts down," and you have to step on it a couple of times to "wake it up." That's a good thing, because the battery is not being used up. Btw, it totally agrees with the scale at my gym, so I'm very happy with it. And takes up very little room in my tiny bathroom.

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.

Scale comes with 4 AAA Batteries. Life of batteries would depend on useage and how many family members use the scale. When batteries are low-LO appears on LCD. I just got my scale and have only used several times so far. When stepping on the scale weight will blink 2 times and final weight will be calculated. The screen onlystays lit for a 2-5 seconds and automatically turns off. Hopefully the batterieswill last for sometime. Hope this answers your question(s)

When you get on the scale, the display flashes when the weight is stable. Now, you can get off the scale. After you get off the scale, the weight is still displayed for about 10 seconds before it is shutoff. Its not in minutes, but it stays on for 10 seconds.

From pressing the "on/off" button, or any change in the display (adding or removing weight) mine auto shuts off after 2:07 minutes consistently.

I've left ours on since it arrived a few weeks ago. It has a timer you can activate but by default it will stay on indefinitely.

The way it works is you open the app then step on the scale. If it turns off, just step off the back on while you have the app still open. I will tell you that I got one of these for Christmas and before January 10th, it had stopped working. I will also tell you that I'm 35 yrs old, 6ft tall and weigh 192lbs. That scale continuously told me I was obese. Even with it showing my accurate weight. It's not a very nice motivator.lol. I'm glad it died.

I agree with both previous answers - the timer is really loud. I can't find my instruction booklet, but the box it came in said automatic shut-off. I just checked the Cuisinart website and it says automatic shut-off after four hours.

I usually step off the scale to give it time to reset. Then I step on again. If that do not work try taking out the batteries.

Sylvia, I see you received some yes and some no answers. The scale that I received automatically turns off 60 seconds after the last operation. The scale works great. Jim W

Not planning on using the alarm but this is what it says in the instructions: To activate the alarm press the 24H/Alarm button under the scale. When the alarm go off with a beeping sound, step on the scale to weigh yourself and the alarm will deactivate. If you don't step on the scale, the alarm will beep for 20 seconds. To deactivate the alarm, press the 24H/Alarm button under the scale.

Using the AC adapter has nothing to do with the Auto Off function. You need to turn the Auto Off function off. With the scale off, hold down the MODE button and press the power button (momentarily) to turn the scale on. The display will show A_ON. Press the MODE button once and the display should show A_OFF. A_OFF means the auto off function is off. Power the scale off then back on and you are good to go.

Yes connie is right it has auto shut off i havent timed it but im sure its less than 3 because it seems like when i am using it im always in a hurry. Would be nice if there was auto shutoff. Control to be able to adjust the legnth of automatic off timer.

Display stays on for about 30 seconds after you step off. If you are moving around on the scale, you won't get accurate results; the scale might even shut off with excessive movement.

It stays on until you shut it off. However, it has a sleep mode if not used for a while. All you have to do is touch the scale to wake it up. If not used for awhile (15 minutes or so), and it has not switched to sleep mode, the scale will show .03 (or some other number). We just touch the scale, wait one or two seconds, and then place the next package on it. There may be a setting that will prevent this, but we haven't taken the time to check for it. It doesn't bother us as it is.

It does have auto shut off. However the one I have has never shut off in the process of me weighing items. It takes about a minute of inactivity for that to occur.
