Auto off is a safety feature and some heating pads will not let you disable it. Give it another look and read the manual completely. If there is no meantion of overriding the auto off then you cannot override it. This explains why so many heat pad buyers are so overjoyed when the find one that allows you to override the auto off. For example: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Sunbeam-Health-King-Size-Programmable-Heating-Pad/3205707#Item+Description
I hope this helps.
These timed heating pads wake me every 2 hours from my sleep. They are for idiots or babies I have bought a few with the 2 hr. override disabled. I think they were Sunbeams. Sunbeams phone number will tell you where they are sold. I am going to get 10 of them next time I can, I have ordered them for like $40 or somethng on Amazon and also W-Mart..right now my back is spazzing bad and it's either go out at 4 am which I am doing now, or take a zillion narcotic pain pills to stop the pain. Its like drugs. You get a few idiots that run it for the legitimate customers. I am a 60 year old adult have never had a fire in my life, do not smoke in bed (which SHOULD BE ILLEGAL SO SHOULD CIGARETTES) AND THEY PICK ON HEATING PADS! f THE WHOLE LAW SYSTEM IN THIS RIDCULOUS COUNTRY AND THE STUPID MANU'S WHO ARE EITHER AFRAID TO MAU OR ARE NOT ALLOWED TO MANU. WHY CAN'T I SIGN FOR IT? Tylenol KILLS MORE PEOPLE, ALCOHOL, CIGS, AND YES. EVEN IBUPROPHEN KJILLS MORE PEOPLE. OH YES, WE CANNOT SELL THESE THINGS NECAUE PEOPLE WILL KILL THEIR WELFARE BABIES WITH THEM. OF COURTSE. WHY DON'T THEY TAKE ALL IDIOTS AND WEFARES AND PUT THEM IN 1 COMPOUND SO THEY CAN ALL KILL EACH OTHER? All's I want is an old fashioned heating pad that won't turn off every 2 hours. Crying in paid, yet again, because no heating pad lasts forever , I will cry at the 24 hr drug store. I will cry at the 24 hour Walmart. I will order good ones on Amazon I'll settle for 2 hours of pain relief tonight. And they wonder why people get hooked on Oxys? You eatch. They will outlaw shoe laces next. They already outlawed hoodies for children that have the string for a fastener. Yeh one lady let her kids strangle himself so now all our children freeze. the recall was unprecedented in the history of the US. they all went to countries who appreciated the hoodies for their kids. Why not let people ehave the choice? they put labels on other things, why not this? Good bye cruel world I'm really done.
I couldn't find precise information for this model pad, but some heating pads have a timer built in, and this is for safety purposes, to keep people from being burned, which has happened with some Homemedics models, and it might be a good idea to check the following web page, since some have been recalled:

Yours sounds like it's built in, since you don't have a setting to keep the heat on. I can't recommend bypassing the timer since that could cause fire or injury, and pads like these are designed to prevent those problems from occurring.
Sorry, but you don't. It's a safety feature to prevent burns and fires, and there is no over ride.
I bought a heating pad and it had this retarded 2 hour auto off feature. i remember heating pads just 10 years ago didn't use to have this useless feature. i bought it because i needed to keep an abandoned baby mouse warm and heating pads like these seemed to be all that were available. i missed one of my alarms to unplug/replug the pad and reset the timer, and woke up an hour later to find my baby mouse had died from being too cold..
F whatever retardation in this broken world required the integration of such a short and worthless timer hardcoded into a circuitboard to make it difficult for normal people to disable this terrible feature.
