My CnMBook Manual page 5 shows how to turn off on desk top, but how do I turn on?

I have just treated myself to this neat looking CnMBook, which once I've got into it, will I'm sure, be very good; I know it works OK because my son was playing a game on it earlier today, but as he's no longer here I can't ask him what to do! Will some kind person please, please tell me which button on the keypad I need to press to actually open it to start using it!
Many thanks from this 'not-very-computer-literate-OAP.

Are you seriously asking how you open a laptop?

There aren't that many buttons and catches....the power button is marked with a power symbol...look for it. Press it and it will turn on. If you can't figure out how to open it...can't help you there, and it's probably best you wait.

I didn't realize that when my son had finished using the mini laptop he had left it on 'snooze', maybe this was why when I tried to turn it on nothing happened; anyway, thinking that possibly the battery had gone 'flat' I plugged it in to the mains for a while and tried again, and this time when I clicked on the 'io' button it opened up/came on with no trouble: isn't it lovely and clear, I thought it may not be as it's so small: anyway, many thanks for your replies.
