Does this device shut off after the alert message has ended? I keep getting radios that once activated will stay on until you manualy shut them off.

This unit is on 24/7; however, it goes into a sleep mode until the next announcement is made by NOAA or other alert notice, i.e., amber alert.It works well, and we are happy with it.

The machine is always on. However it is in silent mode once the weather disturbance has left your area.

Yes the device shuts off automatically when the the alert has timed out, provided there are no additional alerts. During an alert you hear an audible alert from NWS

I thought it did, too, given that it's supposed to provide "automatic warning" -- but it doesn't, unless the unit is turned on (if you're listening to AM or FW, it will automatically switch to weather station). Found it out after two tornado warnings didn't set it off -- the tornados that went through southern Indiana this week. I confirmed that with a Midland tech. Good device in a lot of ways, but I gotta by one that warns of dangerous weather whether it's turned on or not.

The indicator will stop blinking after you listen to it. If you delete it its gone, if you leave it, the message counter goes up one but blinking stops.

Yes and sometimes I wouldn't even get a delayed alert. A friend stopped by my house (has a key) and told me afterwards. I never was notified. I returned it for this reason.

Yes it does need to be on to receive an alert. I usually don't have my radio on, unless I am expecting really bad weather. Then I can go to sleep knowing if an alert is generated, I will be awakened and ready to take care of my family. Rest assured, it will get your attention. I recommend this radio to any and everyone.

It stays on, but the product itself is complete crap. Try the "0.5 W Fail-Safe Long Range FM Transmitter - FS CZH-05B - Newly Revised: Dual Mode now with RCA Inputs" instead.

No, the transmitter does not turn off. I ended up taking the battery out each time...such a pain.

First off, the intruder would have to know where your control panel is to unplug it. The siren is VERY loud and if it goes off, it is a huge deterrent. As soon as the system is set off, the text is sent to you that it has gone off. If they do find the panel and unplug it, it has a battery backup so it still should keep sounding. Hope that helps.

No, My plug stays hot when vehicle is off so the radio stays on. I have to turn it off manually.

If you slide the <weather> switch from "on" (red) to off, the WX radio will no longer be in standby mode and therefore will not monitor for or sound any transmitted alerts (this defeats the whole purpose of having a WX alert radio, doesn't it?). Instead, use the "defeat siren" feature to silence all but the most essential alerts. Also, set the alert feature to "voice" mode so that the siren and radio shut themselves off in short time whenever an alert IS issued.

Yes it does.My friend and I mounted them on our motorcycles we never have to switch them on till we get way out of range.Normaly we leave them off and the radio works just fine.

The auto off takes very little time to shut off when there is no signal (Aux or Bluetooth). Even if there is a signal it has to be making sounds or it shuts off, so don't turn down the volume of your source. It also frequently shuts off even with a signal, so keep the remote handy and be ready to be frustrated. I don't understand why it has any auto shut off feature anyway since it is not battery powered and must be plugged in all the time to work.

No. It does shut down if you are out of range. But it restarts when you are back within range.

No. The unit (Amplifier) has a cable to sync with the Receiver to auto shutdown when not in use. It seems to work, mostly. :)

Yes. I have turned off all alerts except tornado warning (which also is an alert that you can't turn off). It is a tedious process however, so plan on a chunk of time and paying close attention to the instruction manual.

Yes it does stay on the entire time. It will not drain your battery if you leave it plugged in. Me personally I just unplug mine. It will save the station you programmed. Hope this helps. I enjoy mine.

Greetings. This receiver will automatically shut off while charging. Thanks for your question.
