No, it's not just you! I had some difficulty coming to what the box graphic
around the switch should say. Here's the reasoning chain which eventually
allowed me to sleep peacefully:

1. The BYPASS jack is clearly and correctly labelled, e.g. a signal or gate
at that input causes the 820 to go into bypass mode.

2. The switch does the same thing, and it's probably just a 5V signal
normalled to the jack, I'm guessing.

3. Controls with the same function as inputs should be labelled the same.

At any rate, the nasty red led will come on when it's bypassed, so it should
be pretty evident what state it's in.
