The unit does actually wake up, but the power consumption is so minimal
that you could probably press keys for a year or two on a set of
batteries.
In many ways, I wish we had made an on/off switch, but that is not the
way the current hardware works.

I think someone at APH should address this question, I can't imagine
that it would save much in the way of batteries, remember that even
though the unit is not beeping, if a key is pressed, it does "wake up"
for about ten seconds.
I prefer no lock beeps, but it is not because I expect to save
batteries.

Hi Folks,
will that save battery life, as I assume the beeping causes drainage?
Is
there potential harm to the unit if this is done?
Thanks for any thoughts.
