"Auto Power OFF
The meter will automatically turn off after 30 minutes if no keys are pressed during this
period. Auto power off is disabled in the max/min recording mode."

EDIT: RTFM ;)

If yours is shutting off every 10-15 minutes, you've either overclocked time, or the batteries are low. Honestly, neither would surprise me lol.

I'm surprised you lads don't use it.

negative. It doesn't really "record" just saves the min and max.

I have used the min/max mode in the past, but I undoubtedly forget to turn it off and have to replace the batteries the next day,....so needless to say, I always just re-turn them on (x2 ea-10's) thru my sessions.

I just press the power button when it turns off, its a daunting task, I know, but I'm tough like that.
