As long as the push-button switch S1 is pressed, the multivibrator remains quiet. The LED is out.

By contrast, if you unpress S1, the LED1 starts to blink.

In a real world application, the push-button switch could be replaced by a trip wire or a contact at a door. When the trip wire is broken or the door opened, it is indicated by the flashing light of the LED.
