[Icom] 756pro timer

[Diamond William]

Hello Stan and all on the list
This post got me to thinking. I have a brand new 756 PRO and I just got it hooked up this week, it is my first brand new rig since about 1980 and I am used to Collins and Drake rigs and a Ten-Tec or two but never such a rig as the PRO.
The red light on the power switch has been on since I first hooked it up. I was listening to it the other night and after a few min it just turned off for no reason.
I turned it back on and it came right back on ok.  It did the same thing tonight and it came right back on when I hit the power switch. The red light was on, and I just assumed it was a pilot light like I am used to.
Well, I just went back in and turned on the Icom PS and the rig came on by itself without pushing the power switch. After reading this post, I just pushed the switch for a split second and the red light went off and the rig stayed on fine.
Is what I was experiencing connected with the fact that the red light was on? 
It sure is hard to dip the final and tune the load on it however, hi hi. Aw what the heck, I am just too old to do that anymore anyway.
Thanks
