- I don't like this symbol and was wondering what others think.
You see this symbol on power switches, but what does it really mean?
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol,
But the switches that I've seen the symbol on doesn't cause a "sleep mode" but powers the device on and off.
... Grrr
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_symbol,
... the standby symbol (line partially within a broken circle), indicates a sleep mode or low power state. The switch does not fully disconnect the device from its power supply. This may appear on a toggle switch opposite a power on symbol, alone on a pushbutton that places the device into a standby state, or alone on a button that switches between on and standby.
