Some user ask, "Should I turn off the konNET network switch when not in use?" 

Our short answer is NO (whenever possible). 

The #konNET series are clocked by an OCXO (oven controlled crystal oscillator) which has a heater (oven) inside to keep the crystal's specified working temperature. It takes time for both the temperature and crystal to reach a stable condition. You may also wonder if we keep the clock running, what about aging problem of the crystal? If you start-stop (on-off) the crystal too much, it will age even quicker.
