Hmm..
After looking at the owners manual there is no mention of powering up or powering down the unit manaully?? Generally there will be some button that you push and hold to turn radios on/off with..
You can check out the owners manual HERE
The remote has a power button but mentions turning On/Off the "source"??
Pulling the main fuse may turn it off, but depending on how this unit is wired may dump everything you have preset in memory by doing so.
The better solution is to find the "ACC" wire on the radio (red wire per the manual on page 28) and cutting that wire and adding a manual On/Off switch.
The switch now simulates the ignition switch of an automobile installation.
Do not cut and switch the yellow wire, that wire must be unswitched and is used to keep the radio memory and your sound settings alive.
Button 8 on the remote = Monitor Off
Might turn the monitor off, but does it turn the entire unit off?
Granted, perhaps OP doesn't like a bright monitor running 24/7 and doesn't mind that that button only turns the monitor off.
I suspect OP is really wanting to turn off the entire unit not just the monitor like any normal car radio should. Switching the red lead will take care of making sure the unit is fully powered off and not just the monitor.
There is zero reason to keeping the entire unit turned on all the time and if one is boondocking is a needless drain on the batteries.
