how do you turn it off once the joke is over?

You just remove the device from the computer. Once the USB is disconnected, the computer is back to normal.

You pull it out. If you want, you can make a distraction and pull it out then. Unfortunately, the only way that I can think of (I haven't tried it) is to go disable it in the windows control panel (under hardware). Hope this helps!

You can't really turn it off unless you remove it from the computer (wait until they get up to use the restroom!)

hahahahaa.... unplug it. or if you can't take the time or be so obvious that its there to unplug it, can you "walk by" and simply turn the dial to "minimum influence" until you can get back to retrieve it. We put one on a 3' usb extension cable so we could hide it under a table top. Been going for two months now on one pc.

Yes you can turn it off. You have to do it in the settings. I think you can do it for 1, 2 or 5 minutes.

You can turn it off! Or adjust the pressure to make it very subtle. But yes, you can turn it off separately.

Yes you can. Go into the Caller ID menu, there is a "talking caller ID" selection which can be turned off byscrolling to off and then hitting "save".

push the off button and hold it down till you hear the second set of tones. Thats when it will be off.

There must be a way since it's always been across the top of my screen. Now I'm curious to see if I can turn it off.

Yes, you can turn it off. There are three different settings, keep pushing the button to make it brighter and to turn it off.

You can turn it off however it is really a piece of junk and don't recommend you to buy it. It is made in China if that tells you anything.

Answer here...Well, the joke would be, "I don't know, I'm not there..." but it stays on no more than 3 - 5 minutes. If you're standing there doing something without moving much, it may shut off. Just wave your hand up once and it'll go on immediately.

If you hold down each icon button (diaper, bottle, etc) you will see the word "OFF" display. You would manually have to turn off each icon so that the timers stop running.

I have asked, and did not get an answer from the company. If you find out a way to shut it off, PLEASE let me know.

Turn it off by pressing the power/band button for about 2 seconds. I don't think this is mentioned in the instructions.

Yes, you can turn the sound off. Just hit the sound button once to turn off, then again to turn it back on. Don't feel bad, I can't see the screen on mine unless I slant it in a downward position away from me and that is very awkward, so I don't play with it anymore. I chalk it up to experience!

If I remember correctly you can turn it off with a switch on the side of the box. Nothing to hard.

NOPE! There is no way to turn it off! Our grandson has one that is quiet. Grandma thought she found the same thing. Not!

Previous answer indicates it can be turned off. I find it's pretty dim, and isn't a distraction for me.

Sorry, do not remember HOW I turned off that text option, but do remember that it CAN be turned off.
