Can the units be turned off when the fridge is not in use, or do you have to remove the batteries?

The only way to shut them off is to remove the batteries, but the drain is very low so it might be easier to just leave them on even if you're not using them. I pulled the batteries for a 4+ month layup but won't pull them again until I'm done traveling in November.

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.

You can mute the alarm but it will still monitor the temp. If leaving frig off for a while taking batt out would save their life.

Yes. You can override the timer and turn it off. I have four of these in my house, and you can turn it back off if you change your mind. I wouldn't make it a habit, however.

I do not see an off/on switch so I guess the only way would be to take the batteries out.

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.

You have to manually reset it. On my fridge you have to hold a button down until it turns off.

Jay P, I cannot really answer that question as we use it as a spare Fridge in our RV, so it is either plugged in and full or empty and shutdown. It is awesome and I am very glad that we bought it! Sorry, I could not be more helpful. Jeff

No there is no way to turn it off. However, I have had mine for about 6 months and the batteries are still going strong.

I don't believe that you can. I always remove my batteries when not in use. It helps you locate it in the dark and uses very little power.

Yes the illumination can be turned off. If you don't want to be tempted to use it don't put the battery in

There is not an on off switch on mine. You can unplug the unit to turn it off.

I don't think so. The units are all plugged into the wall. I have never had to change any battery and I have had it for 1 year or more.

This whole unit is an icemaker. There is no freezer portion so yes, the on/off switch turns off the whole unit.

No. But you can take the batteries out and flip them over to store them without draining power.

Yes the unit can be turned off by pressing on the button on top of the device. Also runs on rechargeable batteries. Or you cAn just turn off the Bluetooth off your media.

warm air its exhasted by a top vent- on the top of the refrigerator unit-it can drain your battery if you turn off the motor of the vehichle

this will handle both. keep in mind each appliance draws from the generator until they reach the set temperature. the fridge and freezer can be unplugged as they are not using power. if you plug in your fridge and freezer a couple of times a day you should be fine. I run my fridge in the morning for a couple hours or until it reaches set temp. again about 2 hours before bedtime.

We turned ours off during the day when it wasn't in use. Ours was used in the nursery to store night bottles. It was a lifesaver!! We never had a problem with it. I would turn it off just because it's not meant to be a "full time" fridge.
