Is there an on/off switch on the panel itself, or do you plug it in to turn it on?

There is an on-off switch on the right side of the panel, along the edge. It is easy to use, under a desk it is even easy to turn it on and off with your foot!

No. There is no on/off switch. Its a battery that can either be plugged in, or not plugged in. Pressing the red square turns on a light that tells you the charge status.

Mine is just a plug in DC type power pack running to the charging base for the battery. No on/off switch. Just plugged in or not plugged in.

There is no switch. I picked up a small plug in timer and it goes on and off when I want it to.

Both. There is a power switch so if it's set to "off" it won't turn on when plugged in. If it's set to "on" it will turn on when it's plugged in.

No it has no switch for ON/OFF. Just plug in to turn on and unplug to turn off. Have have had one for 18 years before I got this one and never had a problem until I forgot to take it in and it froze.

Hello LR, Yes, there is a sturdy knob at the top of the panel. Three settings -"off, foot rest, and heating panel." There is a red light which lets you know when the unit is on. After a year and a half or so the bulb goes out on the led so you have to remember to shut the unit off when not using it. C

There is no "off" switch. The unit is always on but "activated" only when the door/window is open/closed.

Their is a very small panel on the side near the top. You need to open this panel and the on/off switch is behind it

There is no switch. It's on when you plug it in and turns off only by unplugging.

I believe that is the first option. The panel will not come on unless it has a good battery. Installation was a breeze. Good luck.

No. To turn it on and off, you'd either have to wire it into a manual switch or possibly, if you can find one, a remotely-operated power switch.
