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).
