BikeErg turn off

Most times my erg turns off automatically after a few minutes - first screen illumination goes and then a bit later the whole lot is off. I think I have to make sure that the erg is not connected to any apps like Zwift or Kinomap ?
Sometimes the erg doesn't switch off at all and this is when I notice the battery percentage going down to 70 odd percent.
Any comments ?

Mine wont switch on and operate properly if there is a usb key in first. I think the pm5 is a bit sensitive to anything plugged in until it can do its own memory check without anything plugged in.

There's two timers.
1. 2 minutes when the PM5 is sitting on a menu.
2. 4 minutes when the PM5 is running a workout.
There is a power off function - press [MENU] four times (stop pressing when the display goes blank or it will come back on)
All power off timers are disabled when a USB cable is connected.
The batteries will be sucked dry if you leave a USB stick connected.
I don't think Ergdata has any effect on any of the power off timers.
