Is the auto-shutoff function only for when nothing is happening with the device? Can I add weight over 3.5-4 minutes?

The auro shutoff happens when there is no activity. The device stays on while in use and does not shut off.

No, there website says N/A. Also, Amazon should remove it from the automatic shutoff selection.

No. It will power down every time in 90 sec. automatically.It works great for me

It is not always on. I believe the timeout is set around 10 seconds before going back to sleep for default.

Yes, it auto shuts down after about 30 secs of inactivity... it's kind of a pain to keep poking the scale when I'm measuring stuff.

go to power off screen and change to 5 minutes that is the longest it can stay on

Yes. I know that if you have avower failure and the time is screwed up it shuts down after 1 hour. If you have the time set it's longer, but it does shut off automatically.

I don't think so. I keep it set at 3 hours and the only way to stop it from working is to unplug it. (e.g. I only want it on for 2 hours)

Hello, actually I did not notice how long it will be shut off. When I weighted I just go for baken. But your question let me to check. I tried and it will take around 3 minutes shut off if no more weight. Hope this could give you a little help.

I haven't actually timed it but my guess is that it shuts itself off in about two hours. For my use in walking the dog and having it on at the fitness center I don't find this to be a problem and actually a good feature in the event you forget to turn it off. There is no warning and I don't know if this feature can be turned off. Ooooops, I learned something from the response by Walter.

Yes, it remains for about 15 seconds to read the measure & convert between PSI, BAR, KPA and Kg/cm3 then it auto shuts off after 30 seconds from being idle.

I have gotten much more than 2-3 minutes before auto shut off... Maybe 8-10 minutes? It stays on an exceptionally long time. Very helpful. This is an outstanding feature of this scale. Plus, if you require longer, you can use the included AC cord - I am not sure if it ever shuts off if it is plugged in. In either case, you don't have to worry that when you come back to it after doing something in the kitchen that you will have lost your readings.I use this scale every day, and am 100% happy with it.

Yes as M. Perkins has answered but I think the time to auto-shutoff is closer to 4 minutes.

There is an auto off switch which places the unit in standby if it has not received a signal for a specific period (I think it is 30 mins). But there is not an auto on function. I disabled the auto off function because my unit is connected only to a pc and if I booted with the TEAC off and started my preferred Media player the driver did not function correctly. So my unit is always on

It has a small slide button on the left side of the device. If you want to turn it off or on you just slide the button down for about a second. It also has sleep timer for 15, 30 or 60 minutes and will turn off automatically. Also has a lock button

It should turn off. Mine displays the weight for a few seconds and then turns off. You may have a defective product. Sorry! I would get in touch with the seller, depending on when you purchased the Item.
