Explanation:
"Switch off the PowerPack by sliding the sliding switch to cover and expose the micro USB port."

I don't think "turn" should be there... just skip it, it doesn't mean anything

maybe there was a "turn off" version that got mixed up

Comme c'est un interrupteur coulissant, j'utiliserais faire glisser à cause de la redondance

agree  Tony M: As it says 'cover and expose', I think this has been badly edited, it probably originally said 'Switch the PowerPack on and off by turns by...' or something along those lines.

Explanation:
I agree with FX Fraipont. The word "turn" seems misplaced there.

Besides I see a contradiction between cover and expose. Either it's covering or it exposing the USB ports, not both...

agree  Tony M: I think the cover/expose came froma an earlier version prior to a later edit, where it said something like "switch on or off ib turn by..."

neutral  FX Fraipont (X): there's no contradiction whatsoever : slide one way, you see the USB ports, slide the other way, you see the micro USB ports : http://oi64.tinypic.com/acbp0i.jpg
