Standby and Power Off
When power is connected and the rear panel power

front panel to "off" sets the unit into standby. In
Standby the unit power consumption is below 1
Watt and the front panel is powered at a very low
level, with no backlight.
The only point of leaving the unit in standby is to
power the clock. As there are no other settings you
can switch the unit off at the rear panel if you wish
but you will have to reset the clock (if required) when
you switch on again.
If you are not using the unit for some time always set
the rear panel switch to OFF for safety.
