The rear of the base has a power cord and the female connector of a power cable attached. The insides of the wall panels have a heating element composed of black heating film connected to a white, flexible electrical conducting strip.

The system is energized when the power cables are joined and the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet. The words "ThermalStrike" and "Bed Bug Heat Treatment" are on the front of the unit.
