Can this item be turned off automatically when I don't use it?

No. You cannot turn it off and back on. It will go into standby after a few minutes, and it takes several seconds to come back up.
492897
It will spin down and standby automatically after about 5 minutes whether you want it to or not. For me it is a problem because it takes several seconds to come back online when you try to read or write to it. There is no way to change this behavior.

has to be unplugged, doesn`t have a turn off switch like some other harddrives

There is no on/off switch on the drive. I'm guessing here, but the only way to shut it down is to disconnect the power cord. I use it as my Carbonite backup drive, so it's always on.

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

It "hibernates" after about 5 minutes, so it realistically uses little to no power when you're not using it.

Sorry, don't know. I don't multi-task when I iron, so have never encountered an auto turn off. Also can't find my manual to see if it mentions that feature.

Yes you can but it is not advised because if you turn it off by the lamp switch and have it on an automated schedule it won't work.

Hi. I don't think so. But then again I always turn it off by habit as soon as I am done, I unplug it. But if you check the description of the product it should tell you if it has that feature. In any case, it was a great price and a great buy for me, I am still using it and loving it. :)

I couldn't find anything in the manual on if you can turn this feature off. I happen to like this feature.

There is no way to turn it off, but after a short time it powers off by itself. However, if you barely touch it, it will come back on again. I just put mine in a place where I won't bump it when I'm done.

No, it doesn't turn off by itself...to my chagrin. I have forgotten it and left it on overnight quite a few times myself.

it does not have auto-off feature, but I have forgot to turn it off a few times with no problems.

I have not turned my unit off for a period of time. I only turn it off to clean it. Sorry I can't help you.

No u can not turn off manually. U can only reset once it disconnects automatically do to low voltage. There is a model with a remote that might do that

There is no way to disable it without unplugging it because there is no button for it. I would'nt leave it plugged in 24/7 anyways because it could be hazardous. so I think thats your best option. Or try reading the manual to see if it says anything just in case.

No, there is no way to disable the auto shut off feature. It shuts off after a minute.

I do not believe so. I've not left mine on for more than 10 minutes, but it did not shut off automatically within that amount of time.

I have not had any auto-turn off issues with this surge protector. I hope this helps

I found nothing in the manual about turning it off. They list the following number for questions 1-800-955-0959 in the manual.

No. U mus open case to turn off. Or change Ur setting on Ur pad to turn off if inactive.

I just checked the manual, and I don't think you can disable it completely. You can set it either 1, 2, or 3 hours, but I don't think you can get rid of it altogether. Hope that helps!
