The display can show two letters at a time and implements scrolling of text to display longer 
strings. Most menu entries are therefore presented with a two-letter acronym, before the full 
menu name is scrolled. 

 

2.7  Power on/off 

The BST30/35 is turned on by pressing the volume up/ON button. The BST30/35 will start up 
in the last used configuration/mode. At power up, the configured name of the unit is 
displayed. If no specific name is configured, the BST30/35 displays the last four digits of the 
serial number. 

The BST30/35 is turned off by holding the volume down/OFF button for 3 seconds, until a 
double dash is displayed to indicate shutdown.
