Is there any way to turn off display, to save battery life?

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".

LCD screens take such an infinitesimally small amount of battery current that it's not a factor in battery life at all. Mine is working fine, as opposed to the timers that a couple of other people here indicated.

There is an option called CATS, turn it off {menu-->Picture, scroll down to C.A.T.S.} When set on it adjusts the screens brightness according to the ambient light

YES. The display does shut off after a preset amount of time. You can select the number of minutes in the menu. Or you can select to have it never turn off.You people saying it never shuts off are smoking crack.YES THE DISPLAY/SCREEN SHUTS OFF.

Yes, i you go into menu, you can turn the GPS off. I highly recommend it, you will get double the battery life.

Just turn off wireless. On display use arrow until settings menu comes up. Choose wireless choose turn off

Unless the coffee maker has batteries, yes it would likely turn off the display, when the timer on this unit expires, it is the same as unplugging whatever is plugged into it.

We have had ours for just over a year now. It is working perfectly, but the display is still scrolling as it did on day one. We have never figured out how to turn it off either.

No, I actually haven't found another way to turn the screen off other than pressing the display button on the top of the tablet.

You can disable any clock display. Two words: duct tape. (Get it in cool colors if it looks trashy to you)

I leave it on all the time... you have a remote which let's you toggle the darker effect on and off easily or raise and lower the amount. It's a simple circuit board design and it probably doesn't use a few dollars a year in electricity. If you unplug it, it won't pass thru to your display. Just leave it on... love mine and wouldn't give it up...

What issues? If battery is running down faster, you can set the display to auto adjust, turn on battery save mode, and close apps running in the background .

Yes you can; just push the small button with a battery plugged in until it says off in the display.....That's how I did it with mine, good luck.

Don't worry about it not shutting off people. The display itself has almost no drain on the battery. It is the memory that stores your data that is the culprit. If your battery is lasting less than 6 months then change brands. I have had mine (two of them) for over a year and have only replaced the battery once. Its a great device and works fantastic. Enjoy it and don't get so hung up on the battery, or if the unit "turns off"

Yes, push power button for a sec. (As opposed to holding power button for several secs to shut off)
