Turning off date/message stamp

My Canon Elph Jr. accidentally fell to the ground the other day. No apparent

damage except that the fall activated the date stamp and imprint message

function, which I don't want. I don't have a manual, can't find one on line

and can't figure out how to turn it off. On the LCD display, the once solid

line above the film counter symbol. is now blinking. I'm afraid the blinking

display will drain the battery. The only settings for the date/message screen

are four buttons - title, select, date and set. Any ideas on how they work.

I'm hoping other point and shoot cameras have similar features and that

someone out there can help me out.

Thanks in advance

Bruce
