After some time it will shut off it self, but batteries probably would not last long then.

yes it does.................so if you walk away after a few minutes it will turn off

It times out after about two minutes. If you purchase it, I will be surprised if you are disappointed in it.

I'm ticked..i have no more display for caller ID, date, time, etc.! I really rely on those. The phone had worked fine, then after about 2 yrs. the display just stopped showing. I googled and read the manuel and it said to make sure the plug was in securly and it is after several times re-plugging it.The phone still works fine, just has no DISPLAY!

The battery will only last an hour or 2 when not plugged in. They state that in the owners manual and I have tested it myself. I will tell you though the monitor is amazing and I love it!! It is super easy to set up, has good night vision and great sound. I am very happy with it!

When it is fully charged, it lasts about a week, and then the battery loses one bar. I presume it can go a month and be just about ready to "die." It never actually "turns off" otherwise--the clock display is always on. But this is just in standby mode, without using the features.

I havent tried to be honest. The longest so far is couple of days, but i havent lost anything out of it so far. I think if u keep it for a month u might lose just a bar of its light indicator which could account for 2 to 5% of its overall due to its internal connections lost. Which is nornal for these kind of devices. But i normally keep it on the charge when i am not using it at home.

The display does time out and go dark after a few minutes. The only light is a small green light in the center that tells you the unit is working.

With mine I may get 3.5 to 4 hours maybe, never really timed it. I do know that when I unplug it and go outside, it seems like within a 1/2 hour to 3/4 of an hour the battery indicator is down a ways.

Many factors affect battery life. I can usually get 4-5 hours out of it if I am not doing a lot of surfing and I dim my screen as I notice the battery getting low.

Thanks very much for your response. I'm only getting about an hour or less of battery life. I'm very disappointed. Thanks again.

You can dim the screen, turn off blue tooth and the wifi (when you're not using it) and shorten the time it waits unused until it turns itself off. Most of these are in the Power Management section. There are F key buttons to toggle some of them. I believe there is also a setting that will allow the computer to drain the battery down closer to zero charge. As it is I believe it turns off with about 25% remaining as a margin of safety. I did everything I could think of and don't get anything like 14 hours of life. It is beyond mere marketing hype to claim 14 hours. Really it is a lie. Perhaps I now get 10 hours.

NO, the screen will still open as far as it can and not hit the battery. When this battery is fully charged it has about 8 hrs depending on what u r doing. I like it and if i ever have to get another laptop, i will look for this battery again for sure.

I found all this quite reassuring . The display stays on and the logo in the bottom right hand corner continually flashes because i haven't downloaded the data. I'm still pleased with mine, but I would have thought todays technology would be able to provide a 'stand by' mode . 1st battery relaced after 3 months - because i thought the flashing logo was a low battery indicator ! - perhaps i'll update you in a few months !

On mine the display illuminates for a few seconds after a button is pressed, and then it goes out. The display does not stay lit.

The backlight part of the display does not stay on when the unit is turned off. However, there is a display of time and some other misc info that remains displayed as long as there is power to the unit.

Donna: I've had a similar one for 5 years, and the battery lasts over a year even though the display is always up. Think of it this way, if the display gets dim or isn't there, you know when to replace the battery.

Mine works great...............have yet to have a problem have you tried to change the batteries........with this type display they take a lot of power.........Ive had mine for a long time and never ever a problem///////
