Is one of the settings of the rotary switch for preset operation only and the others 'waveband' positions?
As I understand it, if the 'switchery' is operating correctly, pressing any of the seven station buttons should both switch the set on, as well as tuning the pre-selected station for that button, (as tuned with the associated trimmer for that switch position). The eight button switches the set off.

Hope that helps a bit.
