Let down buttons - I'm confused!

Can someone explain the button in the Medela Pump In Style Advance. I don't quite understand the 2 settings and how they work and when to use each.

    The let down button is used when after the 1st 2 minutes you don't have milk coming out. If you do, don't worry about using it.

    The suction starts on the rapid setting to simulate the way the baby sucks to get the milk flowing. I watch the bottles and once I see milk dropping in I push the letdown button which switches the suction to stronger but less fast, like a baby does once milk is flowing and they're sucking/swallowing. For me the letdown always happens before the 2 min are up and the pump switches by itself. Anyway, that's how I use that button...

    I agree with @klirwin82. I press it when I see milk dripping into the bottle which for me is before the 2 minutes.
