G2 no display soft off

[WM7C]

I just got my G2 and I assumed that the soft off button would turn off the fan and power button light. I see that the network activity went off and I could no longer access it with Thetis, but why would the fan and light stay on when it is "powered off"?

Look at pages 8 and 9 of the manual. There is a different procedure to power off your radio without the front panel. What you are experiencing may be because you have not quite followed the procedure exactly.

Yeah, you're correct. Thanks. I do need to now read the manual.

2.1.2 Radios with no front panel controls
The procedure is slightly different as you may not have a computer display available.
To power the radio on: press and release the button. A short press is sufficient. The power LED will
illuminate RED.

To power the radio off: press and release the power button. The LED will change to WHITE when the
computer has shut down. Wait for approximately 10-15 seconds and then press and hold the button
for around 3 seconds until power turns off completely; the LED will extinguish
