K3 Switching off

Bill W
Experienced something today that I thought I would ask about. I was testing a new microphone in "test" mode with a headphones plugged in so I could listen to my audio. On two separate occasions when I removed the headphones plug, the K3 shut down just as if I pushed the power switch. Pushing the power switch again, everything returned to normal. Anyone have any ideas what might have caused the K3 to shut down?
Thanks,
Bill - W0BBI

I can see where you could accidently touch the power button with your
knuckle as you pull the phones plug out of the jack.  I seldom remove the
phone plug, but, just trying it several times I did turn the K3 off a couple
of times.

Good luck

Joe, Willis,
No, I do not believe I hit the switch when removing the plug, but --- you both have me thinking.....
Thanks for the help.
