# Will My Device Drain The Battery If It's Powered On But Not In Use?

## No, the device is designed to only use the battery power when the lights are engaged.

The device battery should not drain when not in use, but to avoid accidentally turning the LEDs on, it is recommended to power the device OFF completely.

Press and Hold the Front and Rear buttons at the same time for 3+ seconds until the front worklight flashes 3 times.
