The beacon self-test is initiated by lifting the switch at the top of the unit to a
Vertical Position momentarily and releasing it back to the "Off" position.  Switch
is spring loaded to return to the "Off" position.

Note:  "Off" Position indicated by a "O" on switch face "ON" by 

"y", on the face

of the switch.

Upon lifting the switch, a very short yellow flash will indicate self-test has been
initiated then the following:
