What's This? Mystery switch

I've looked in all the manuals that came with my 2004 Southwind, but I can't find an explanation for this switch with the music notes on it. Anyone know?

    Okay so that's not a typical on/off switch?

    It allows you to play the radio without turning on the ignition switch while parked. Be careful, it can run down your starting battery.

    Three choices..

    1: Radio power.. Up is either chassis or house, down is the other
    2: Aux horn (optional)
    3: Silences an alarm (Probability very very very very low).

    That's a good idea. I'd like to install one of those. I wonder how they do that without backfeeding everything else on that circuit?

    Yup it's for the radio...
