Like DR1000, the DR800 saves power by going into a low power mode when it is idle for a few seconds. This is completely non intrusive, as wake up is virtually instant.
The user manual only mentions an "off" state with a quick power "on", though this is technically implemented as standby (suspend to RAM). A brief slide of the power button - no need to hold it for 2-3 seconds - switches to "off" (standby). As mentioned earlier, power consumption is minimal in this mode. Another brief slide switches it back on (resume) in a few seconds, retaining the reading state.
Then there is the auto-power-off feature. It puts the device into "off" (standby) after 30 minutes of inactivity.
When the battery is almost exhausted, the device will go into a real OFF mode. A brief slide of the power button switches the device on. Now it will do a complete boot which takes about a minute.
Holding the power switch for more than 3 seconds resets the device. The complete boot which takes about a minute.
