| Yes, that seems to be a common issue with these units. I call the 16x series "snapogees" for that very reason -- I usually have to snap or flick each switch several times in order to get them to engage. Sometimes this process takes a full minute or more.
If it becomes a real problem for you, there is an internal jumper setting which allows the unit to power on as soon as it's plugged in, bypassing the switches. Check out the manual/website and you'll find all the details -- JB |
