How Do You 'turn Off' The Radio On 2008 5 Series?

not even sure how the radio was turned on in first place. the manual volume control button does turn on and off the audio and does control volume, but does not turn radio "off".  that was all clear in the owner's manual section on "on/off and tone".  tried "voice command system" and that didn't work for me either.  I'm ON/OFF frustrated---can't be that difficult,
