# Change Device Disconnection Time

The Device Disconnection Setting determines how long the Moasure device stays connected before automatically switching off.

By default, the Moasure device will turn off within about a minute if it’s powered on without starting a measurement. This helps to save battery life. You can change this timeout in your **Settings**.

Here’s how:

* Open **Settings** by tapping on the cog icon in the **bottom right corner**.
* Tap on **Measuring Options**.
* Tap on **Moasure Device Disconnection** and select your preferred value: **Thirty seconds**, **One minute, Two minutes, or Five minutes**.

**Note:** The device will remain powered on while you are actively measuring, regardless of this setting.
