On/Off Switch

3.1.1
To switch the F3 COMPACT on, gently pull up the On/Off Knob
and rotate clockwise. Once in the On position release the knob
back to the locked position (refer Figure 9).
When switched on, the F3 COMPACT completes a series of
internal start-up functions including initialisation of the
microprocessor and self-tests, which check internal power
supplies, transmitter etc.
Internal diagnostics take approximately 12 seconds to complete,
during which the operator will hear a series of rising tones (known
as the Start-Up Tones).
