Abstract
A power source control system for controlling a power source of a terminal device, including a timer in which an actuation time is preset and a control circuit which receives a signal from the timer. At the actuation time, the timer outputs the signal to the control circuit such that the control circuit performs on-off control of the power source of the terminal device.
