I always remember the BN switch by thinking that when I'm going to be away
from the unit, I need to make sure the switch is in the away position so
that I know the unit is off. When I'm using the unit, I'm interacting with
it, so I bring the switch near me, 'cause the BN and I are
interacting. Kind of a silly way to remember, but it works.
With my Sportrak receiver, I know to press the power button followed by the
enter button within a second or two. If I hit a button after that and it
doesn't beep, I know it's off.
Right now my frustration is that I got my BN back from being serviced, and
everything works fine, except the gps receiver isn't detected, even though
it's connected right, so I'm a bit panicky, lest the Humanware techs
somehow disabled my serial port and I have to send it back
in. <shudder> I have a message in on the gps-talkusers group, and I'm
hoping it's something that's easily dealt with.

Hi all,
You mean it didn't make any sound or didn't change the Braille
display? The switch is quite self explanatory. If it ain't talkin'
or clickin' it's off. If it ain't doin' neither, "It's dead, Jim."
<smile> There's no "Bones" about that. Actually, the switch is off
when it is pointed away from you and on when it is pointed towards
you.
The GPS receiver is less easy to tell.
