Let's see...It powers off 10 30 seconds...So I have to turn on a button (across the top), then I get a locked symbol. Since I already had to turn on a button, why should I have to do anything to unlock the machine? Seriously. It's two separate steps to start with. Why do I have to add a third? Plus you only see the unlock symbol (very small) while you in contact with the lock button. There should be an arrow pointing to a LARGER unlock symbol.

Any user interface becomes intuitive with use. That doesn't make it intuitive to the Newbie. A truly intuitive user interface shouldn't require prior knowledge...
