On mine you have to have the switch turned on and it will turn green with some kind of read out. Then the other box I found in one of my forward basement storage area. The clock and quiet time is not a feature that I have but can set the others. took some playing around with but works great. The AC inside it set for what ever you want so when the Gen fires up it will automatically come on and run for the time period you set the box to.
