Turning it counterclockwise to the detent turns power off. The minimum volume level can
be set by programming. Soft power down can be programmed as described in Section
3.1.3, "Standard and Soft Power Down", and the volume control can be disabled as
described in Section 3.1.5, "Setting Volume Level".

to occur as soon as the button is pressed: There is no delay. Channel select allows the user
to cycle through all the channels in the profile. The radio will loop from the last channel to
the first and vice versa. The radio will display unprogrammed channels located between
other programmed channels.
