If your Echo Dot is registered, plugging it in and waiting for it to connect to the internet is all you need to do to turn it on. That’s also true in reverse, as the only way to turn off your Echo Dot is to unplug it from power. If you want to leave your Echo Dot plugged in, but you don’t want it to listen to your conversations, you can activate the Echo Dot's mute function.
