The actual "on" button is so small it can only be pressed with something like a paperclip. In the past I had used a fiber-tip pen to operate it a few times, and as a result the button was painted black and was nearly invisible. Pressing the real "on" button did a dandy job of turning it on, and the rest of the installation went without incident.

Thank you
