Hi Rex, I must have a bad one because mine has been on now for 45 minutes any
other ideas.

Thanks

Pat
I have the very same thermometer.   It doesn't have an "off" switch.  It shuts
off by itself after 10-15 seconds.

  Pat,

  Try pressing the on switch for a longer time holding few seconds. 
Sometimes, the on switch is also used as off switch doing the described
procedure.  I just guessing.  Good luck,

  Vicente
