Mighty Mouse

I have just got myself a Mighty Mouse for my MacBook, I use the Trackpad most of the time but sometimes like editing photos, its nice to have a mouse, It seems a great piece of kit, but I have one question, should you slide the little slider on the bottom each time you stop using it or is this just for when traveling. The instructions are not clear on this.

Thanks

Chris

I only use the manual switch to turn it off when traveling and mine will last for months on one set of batteries (depending on the type of battery used).

Most cordless mice any more have auto shutoff capability.

Thanks for the feedback.
