Hi Jon,
Yes, the scale includes a manual on/off power button – simply press the “Power” symbol located on the right hand side of the display to turn the product on. Once you have finished weighing, press and hold the same button to manually turn off. Alternatively, the scale also features an “automatic off” function which will switch the scale off after 1 minute of showing a zero balance or 3 minutes based on a steady weight.
Thank you for using Q&A

I hope this helps
Thanks for using Q&A
I have exactly the same problem. I contacted Salter and they said to remove the batteries and press the on off button which there is none! Have you managed to sort the low battery issue?
Hi Khill,
The instruction manual for the scales advises the following:
WARNING INDICATORS:
Lo or Low power: Replace batteries
Err or O-Ld or EEEE Weight overload: Remove some weight.
If forcing the scales off by holding down the on/off button, waiting for a few seconds and then turning the scales on again does not resolve the issue, we recommend contacting our customer service team from the help page online for more assistance.
Thank you for using Q&A.
