Hi Arlene, no, i can’t really think of any downside, except maybe, it could make the switch a bit loose after some time, and it could possibly keep switching it’s self on and off. The standby time can be upto 5 minutes, and remember, it is only using power, when you press a key. Dave. From:

Dave, everything you said is correct, however we find that, allowing it to go into sleep mode, is a little slow, compared to using the on and off switch which is instant. When you're at home is there a reason not to use it that way? - Original Message - From: Dave To:
