Power is supplied to the unit when this switch is depressed

the volume level heard before the POWER switch was set
to OFF blinks on the display for about 5 seconds.
NOTES:
© When a function is selected or the VOLUME switch is de-
pressed while the volume level is blinking, either the level
lights or the frequency is displayed.
® Although it is very rare, nothing may appear on the display
if a switch is set from OFF to ON immediately after the
POWER switch is set to ON. In this case, set the POWER
switch to OFF and then depress the switch in question again
slowly,
