If the device is connected to the cigarette lighter, you don’t need to manually turn it on/off. Every time the car is started (i.e. the cigarette lighter port is power-on), the device automatically turns on; when the car is stopped (i.e. the cigarette lighter port is power-off), it automatically turns off.
Some cars still power the cigarette lighter in parking. In such case, if the device has no operation in 20 minutes, it automatically turns off. When the car is started next time, the device will not automatically turn on, and please turn it on manually.
