The FLEX-5000 uses a delayed start push button to power up the radio.
To turn on the radio, push the button in fully and release. After a few seconds you will hear the
power relay click and see the blue LED illuminate to indicate that the radio is powered up.
To turn off the radio, again push the button fully and release.
For the
