"Turn on the radio?"

["Roy, Gary" <RoyG -at- hydroaire -dot- com>]

Turn the radio on by pressing the POWER (n) switch.

n (optional): a callout on a graphic for the front panel of the radio

Bright folks of the TECHWR-L:

May I have your guidance on a word-usage issue?  I have my attractive 
Chicago Manual of Style sitting here next to me, but don't know what this 
kind of thing is "called."

Two coworkers say this is correct:
"Turn on the radio."

I say it sounds better this way:
"Turn the radio on."

Think instructional manual, if that matters.

Thanks,
Amy P.
