To the side of the viewing screen inside the eye cup. Couldn't find anything in instructions. No name brand with a iray 256 sensor.

Does it have a auto on/off feature?

A cheap thermal, unidentifiable object…

IR LED that detects a face at the eyepiece? Like a phone? Will ramp up the brightness to the eyepiece? Maybe.

Not that I could tell but we only messed with it for a few minutes and were moving the whole time so maybe.

This was my thought but it seems like an unnecessary complication on a cheap device. Could be though since it has a laser pointer. It's visible and weak so it's kinda why bother.

I didn't mean like a shake-awake type system, more of like a face detection type.

Edit: It turns on when someone is looking through optic or something blocks sensor.

What happens if you put tape over it?

Aurora's have this, though you can't even see the IR sensor on them - it's a very clean design. If you put tape over it, and it's set to 'Auto' - it may never turn on, LOL - ask me how I know Taking the tape off will cure that. Look at it through NODs and see if it's emitting IR when that feature is active.
