Expert Reply:
You do not need to turn off the accessory switch, but you do need to power off the Blue Ox Patriot Radio Frequency, Portable Braking System # BLU37TR.
Per the instructions of the # BLU37TR, "Shut off the unit and unplug the RF when you stop driving for the day. Don’t leave the unit plugged in."
