other is “power sequencing action” wherein the switch
is toggled from ON to OFF and back ON within 2
seconds (typical).
When the device experiences normal switch operation,
it merely powers on in the first state when the power
switch is toggled to ON, and the device turns off when
the main power switch is changed to OFF.
