RN316 (touchscreen) graceful shutdown

I can't find a way to gracefully shutdown this new RN31600/. My older RN6000, have a power button at front, and pushing it 3 times shuts down gracefully, or I can SSH an do it.

How do I perform this with the RN31600 ?
The manual says push the power button 3 times, but the person who wrote it has never used this touch screen device. I've tried holding the OK button and push the arrow keys and no joy.

I can't find a shutdown button in the GUI either. (it's in radiator on my nas pro)

Can someone helps. I'm on a UPS, and it will run out of juice soon, I don't just want the disks to crash.

  • There is a button, inside the front door of the 316 ( bottom right). This is the button referred to in the manual.
    If the oled display is off, it's 3 presses, each press is associated with a message in the oled display.

    Sorry , I have poor eyesight.
    I see, it's a black button on a black background, behind the door. The old one the button is outside and illuminated. I supposed they save 5cents for the led. 2 presses shut it down.

    I also found the shutdown button in the gui, after I searched the html source.

    The manual is a bit lame
