POWER
We obviously saved the best for last. If this button is not pressed then the Portico II is maximally “green”
and exhibits its absolute lowest noise floor. However, for any of the previously described features and
fun controls to have any significance, the POWER button should be pressed. If nothing happens when
the button is pressed and not one LED even winks at you, then you may also want to plug in the Power
cord too.
