How do you stop it from accidentaly discharging? Do you have to connect/remove a pin? Or some other method?

There is a simple, yet effective toggle switch for any user to easier turn the device off and on. The "trigger" is within the gripped area making it virtually impossible for the device to spontaneously discharge. (unless you're very unlucky if you believe in that sort of thing) Great and easy to use.

It won't. There's an on/off switch, as well as a "fire button" that you press when the switch is in the on position.

Simple, just keep in low position the little suitch(slide) located right up from the botton (push)to activate the discharge, you will see a red light when is 0n.hope this will answer your question

I just leave it alone. As long as its not charging another device it will turn off on its own.

There is no way to disable it without unplugging it because there is no button for it. I would'nt leave it plugged in 24/7 anyways because it could be hazardous. so I think thats your best option. Or try reading the manual to see if it says anything just in case.

My unit did appear to stop functioning at one point. I just fully unplugged for a few days and re-plug in and all was good. Maybe try unplugging for a few hours. I just forgot about it after unplugging.

I had the same problem, I changed the battery (It's a CR2032 'button' battery.... available online for about 40 cents each) Once I put a fresh battery in it was fine. That was just a week ago, so I'll see how it goes. If it acts up again I will move the pins to channel 2 or 3 (less crowded area). Keep me posted, Don

Worked for me so far. I just reconnected and the charge is continuing without the interuption due to heat. Thanks for the tip.

Unplug the charger from the power outlet. Reverse it and try to plug it in the other way if possible. Polarity shouldn't matter, but these switching type power supplies are cheap and sometimes gets static hung up inside them.

Sounds like possibly a faulty battery. Have you tried sticking a straight ion into the little reset hole? Sometimes that works. Also, did you charge it for the recommended time before the first use?

I have exactly the same problem after meticulously following all the instructions. Am trying the recharging idea as suggested by Angela N but I fear it may need a return to the shop. Amazed there is no reset option as with any other digital device.

I see the first answer of this question mentioned that it should be disconnected as soon as it has full charge or almost full charge. I understood the different way. It can be charging for 24/7 continuously without unplug until you are going to use it. So which method is Righr?

One more little helpful hint though...don't leave it ON or it WILL go dead a lot quicker! Found that I had done that last night when I had a dead battery and was like, no big deal...I have my handy jumper...which I then found I had left on and was dead! My bad! :P

When you disconnect using the quick disconnect, the light blinks letting you know that the unit is not working. I wouldn't leave it that way for a long period of time as you are just wasting electricity. DO NOT remove clips from batt terminals when it is charging as a slight chance of explosion of hydrogen gasses could occur..

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.

It has an auto shutoff that can be disabled. Take the control apart and unsolder the 2nd pin. Problem solved. I've been running mine 24 hours a day nonstop for 2 years without a problem

I just had an issue with mine not charging. It got to zero and when I rebooted with it plug into the USB charger, I could see the little lighting bolt on the battery indicating it was trying to charge, but it shut off because of low batter. Kind of a Catch-22. I tried this cycle a few times and was fed up, so I decided to unplug it and let it 'die down' for half a day. Then I plugged it back in and the screen showed me that it was charging! I let it charge up for a few hours and it started up and continued to charge. If you are having charging issues, try letting it run out and "die", then plug it in. Worked for me, YMMV. I just had an issue with mine not charging.

I had a similar experience. After a period of working just fine, it stopped taking a charge. Light blinks rapidly when plugged in.

I believe I have had that situation in the form of unplugging the device for a minute while on. As I remember, it did not reset to "off." Sorry I can't be more specific. If I remember, I'll try it at home tonight.
