WL 5024 Headset turns itself off - even when on charge
My Dell Pro Wireless Headset WL 5024 will turn itself off after a few hours in the day - even when its on charge in its dock.
As there isn't a easy to see status light I'm often not aware. When a call comes in I put it on only to find its off. I then have an embarrassing few moments as I have to turn it back on again. If its an audio call the other person has often hung up as they only hear silence.
I use the Dell Peripheral Manager to keep the firmware up to date. There isn't an option to extend the time. Would be even better if there was a physical on/off switch!
Same problem with my headset WL 3024 about the status on or off. You never know if you have to turn it on or not, and it happens often that you turn it off instead of on because it was already turned on. Very strange that no led indication shows you the status on or off of this headset. I had a look ,in the documentation, but found nothing. I installed the Dell Peripheral Manager too, but it doesn't offer any setting (even on screen via notification) so that the user knows the on/off status of the headset. Very annoying, indeed.

Just checked in the Dell Perhiperhal Manager again and now see there is an option to disable the auto power off feature. Thanks Dell :)

@Paul Francis did you find this work? I've set mine to Off but headset still powers off after a couple hours.

@todd_kingdon I would agree, I've got mine set to never power off as well but it still does. Not sure after how long, perhaps a few hours. I think its better though, before I was finding it off all the time. I'm going to try the 8 hour setting now.

@todd_kingdon Setting it to 8 hours looks to work and is a good solution for me as I would normally power it down each day.
