Just arrived, but with no instructions and so, how do you turn the durn thing on?!! I see the on/off button, but pressing it, turning it.... nothing!!

Try and see if there is a plastic tab sticking out of the on/off switch. it keeps the battery from discharging prematurely.

You just push the button to cycle through blinking, fast blinking, steady on and then off. There might be a clear plastic tag you have to pull out to activate the battery first.

Unscrew the battery case, the part with the button. There's probably a tag or plastic between the batteries so it didn't get turned on by accident during shipping

I just push the on button and it comes on. Maybe yours is defective. I would contact seller.

Yep it's the button on the side. Push for on and push for off. My button make a loud click when I push it. Also, you might double check to make sure your unit is charged. I'm very happy with mine.

As already pointed out above and in the (alleged) manual, hit any button except "standby" button. Problem is, no where does it say what or where the "standby" button is. ????

I wish I could but I'm as clueless as anyone. I would love to see a "How To Program and Set Up Various Items For Dummies". I buy things and then can't get them to work & it's usually too late to return. Help!!! Susan M.

Push the power button on top right :). You should have directions in the box.

I believe you can google the product for instructions, we had to reset it a few times. We used google search to do this. I have only been having problems with one, I purchased two. The other one seems to be fine and working great. I hope I have helped.

There's a switch on the bottom that you turn on. If it doesn't work, it's probably defective just like mine was. Mine never worked. I tried putting in brand new batteries so many times and it never worked. Super disappointing. Send it back for a refund.

I would like to just know how to hook it up!! I cannot figure out what goes where and there are no directions!! I know the outfit was cheap, but geez!!! If you like yours so much, then purchase one to go with it!! Could you help me get mine set up?? I just cannot figure out what wire goes where. and not all of them fit

Mine just arrived. I can't make the light work no matter which way I put the batteries in, nor is there a switch or button to push to turn it on if it did work. What's the story with the "5 LED" light?

Have you found any solution yet? I'm facing the same issue right now and I can't get it to turn at all. Anyone can enlighten? Greatly appreciated.

I will double check but I believe in the manual, there is a manual turn on mode. Let me check tonight.

Found no operating instructions...they leave you totally on your own! Practice with button presses and see when you get a recording or not is the only way I've found!

If you remove the battery, there should be a plastic strip underneath it to be removed. Once you do that and replace the battery, it should turn on. Hope this helps!

I'm just making sure, but you turned it on right? I couldn't find the on button for a bit...

Thanks from me, also! I had the same problem. Easy fix!I will say that the instruction manual is very vague.
