Hi My recollection is that if power is cycled, it drops out of “continuous operation mode”. There *might* even be BBC footage documenting this … :)
Simply put, all of these devices ( 5071 and the other HP atomic standards I have seen) *only* go into continuous operation when you push a button. Anything odd that comes along takes them out of this mode. It’s just a flip flop so you can’t read a lot into it being off. Power line voltage “out of spec” is one way to nuke it (at least on some HP’s ).
