Does it "sleep" even when plugged in? I am looking for a device that will stay on when plugged in. I see someone says it goes off after 20 minutes.

Sorry. If it doesn't have data traffic, it shuts off in 20, just like you've heard.

I have no issues with this device. I have run my phone through it for 4 hours on a road trip. I can charge it while rolling and the charge lasts for days...great product

It doesn´t work any more. I left it connected and 2 weeks after stopped working. As I am in Argentina, I didn´t claim.

I keep mine plugged in all the time but it may not be necessary. I love mine!!

If you don't press one of the timer buttons, it will stay on indefinitely, so yes it would stay on all night. Just beware, the sound quality is far inferior to a plug-in sound machine, and the thing WILL break on you. Mine has gradually lost functions and we've only used it occasionally (once or twice a week for 1-2 hours at a time, usually for napping baby while out and about). The volume control stopped working, then the power control broke so I have to take a battery out to turn it off (it is the same dial to control volume and on/off) and now only one of the four sounds plays, I can't get it to change. For occasional use I'm willing to put up with it. If you don't press one of the timer buttons, it will stay on indefinitely, so yes it would stay on all night.

Hi David, I believe it does stay on. I usually have it timed so I won't fall asleep while it's on. But I really do like it, it's the best one I have ever had.

Best to turn it off then charge it....don't let battery drain totally. I often use it plugged in when it's fully charged.

Sorry I don't really know. I have a habit of always just unplugging it as soon as I'm done so its automatically on next time I plug it in. Lol

It does work when it's plugged in, just kind of annoying and it recommends not to. But I have before haha. There is no battery indicator light either which is kind of odd, so you kind of just hope it lasts or that it's charging. Haven't had any problems about it not charging but its still strange.

Think of it like a cell phone. You need to charge it once in a while (great battery life), but you can use it while it is charging. You can just keep it plugged in forever if that's how you want to use it. However, it does shut down (after 15 minutes) I think of inactivity, even if its plugged in

It shuts off after 10 or 12 hours........way too long for me. I usually turn it on 1 hour before I go to bed, turning it off when I get into bed. Bed stays nice and toasty until I fall asleep. (Course I also have 3 little dogs under the covers with me. :)

It goes in sleep mode when the lights aren't lit up. Make sure to disconnect your USB cord.

I have not noticed this problem with mine. In fact I'm using it right now without being plugged in. You might want to check your power settings under the screen saver settings. Perhaps it is set to put your computer to sleep or turn off the display when it is running on the battery. When I first got mine, I had to change the "choose what closing the lid does" settings so it wouldn't go to sleep and stop whatever I was downloading when I would close the lid. Hope this helps!

two of the reviews state that it shuts off in 20-30 mins... and two answers here say it stays on????

The monitor goes into sleep mode when no input is detected. So as soon as something is plugged in, it will automatically display the input as long the it has not been powered off. I'm not sure if this is what you meant... But i love this monitor!

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.

Mine turns off after approx 20 mins of no input, no matter whether running on battery or plugged in, and no matter whether on Bluetooth or wired input. It must then be turned back on with the power switch. There is no way to defeat this, and I verified with JBL/Harmon Customer Support that this "Standby mode" is normal behavior. This is NOT mentioned in the skimpy user manual provided, and is completely UNsatisfactory for my desired use. It's getting returned, unfortunately.

I have had no problem turning the device on, it does need charging more frequently than others. Typically I leave it plugged in overnight.E

I don't seem to have this problem. I've not timed it, but I'm pretty sure mine stays on for well over a minute. Perhaps playing with the settings?
