Low Power Key on 436

[BOWDEN]

Hi just received my BCD436. And I notice the on and off button is way lower than the other buttons. And I'm wondering if this going to be a future problem because this is a multi function button and it gets a lot of use. Is anybody else's button lower. Thinking about returning 436 for a new one. Thanks

I believe it was designed that way to help avoid accidently turning on the 436 by laying it face-down or having something pressing up against it. The other keys would block the pressure from reaching the Power Key.

Since it was designed as a safety feature it should last as long as the other keys AFAIK.
