Ok - please excuse the ignorance, but what is the proper seqence regarding the rear and power buttons? And the purpose? (the rear button grants electricity to the circuitry, and the front button powers the machine to ON - is that it?)In trying to sort out my 'moment of function', I have tried it every which way, and I've no idea if or when it makes the difference. Thanks for your patience.
