Two questions: 1) Can you power on/off using a switch on the main unit (i.e., without using the remote)? 2) Is there a battery in the main unit?

We have had no problems with turning the power off. There is no "on/off" switch so you just turn it to the tape function, which is how most radios work now days. Overall, this is in my kids room and works great.

Yes, check service manual....it is normally on by default....but with the remote controller it can be turned off!

No, it doesn't have an on/off switch but it won't annoy you because it goes into standby mode after one minute of inactivity and will go to sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity. To reactivate the remote you simply hold the button down for 4 seconds and it awakens and is ready to go.

Yes, it has a switch that can be used to power it on or off. It connects immediately when you switch from the off position to the on.

I just got mine. It has a power button and a remote control. You can turn off the power from both. I suppose there is still some power draw, so you might want to consider unplugging it.

There is not a remote or on/off switch. Put it in bright sun and it will go, shade it and it stops. It does not have a battery to charge so it only runs when the sun is shining brightly on it. A Quick little car.

It can be turned off without the remote on the unit itself. Hold down the power button down for 3-4 seconds on the unit while it is running.

I had the same question, after installing the unit i turned off all power for 5 minutes then back on. Nothing changed, it did not lose its program when i did this. I hope this helps you. With all thing electric if there is no power nothing will work. My remote did not change nor did the push button. I did not install a key pad so i cant answer that part of the question.

No on/off button. If you use the Power Station PS16 the energy will go thorugh thr TSR cable (in case you use more than one box)

There is no on-off switch. So yes, you would have to remove the batteries. the only switch on it is for F or C and a reset hole.

Even Better. There is a rocker switch on the side of the unit itself to turn it off and on. I don't use the switch since I wired it in under cabinet but I just checked and the switch is there.

I have had one for quite a while and I have never had it enter standby. There is a standby mode you can manually actuate from the remote, and you can completely turn it off by using the power button at the unit

You turn it off and then back on either by the power button on the unit or by the button on the remote. It's kind of annoying, it trips with low power or high power (if you have agm batteries that charge up to 14.6v like i do although I use so much power it's only hit the high end twice.)

There's no switch. The battery is only needed/activated if you touch the sides.

There is no on/off switch. But my understanding is that the battery lasts a long time, like a digital watch. So you would wind up replacing the battery after some time (I seem to recall some other reviewer saying more than a year). You can always open it up and remove the battery to stop it. Mine is still running from when I got it four months ago. One possible silver lining is that it may be more weatherproof without a switch...maybe I'm just being an optimist. BTW, it will measure higher temps than advertised! That's cool, too.
