Improve documentation of the standby power switch

Hi,

one of my very first confusions when receiving my Pocket Reform was how to turn it on. A leaflet comes with it which says:

There is a small Standby Power Switch located on the left hand side of the upper case part. Turn it on using a pointed object such as a SIM ejector.

In addition to the above, the current version of the handbook says this about the switch:

The board also has a little DIP switch for turning the standby power on/off

and

You can recover from a stuck keyboard by toggling Pocket Reform’s Standby Power Switch off and on.

So as far as I can see, nowhere does it say in which position the switch initially is and where I have to push it to. I would've liked to learn the following information from the documentation:

  • which position is on
  • which position is off
  • what position is the switch initially in (which which direction do i have to push it)

And maybe for the non-technical people:

  • what is a dip switch? Maybe the SIM ejector has to be used to push a button? It is near impossible to see through the slit to visually identify what kind of button is behind it

Thanks!
