Why not press the switches and see what they do ? How long have you had the boat ?
The big switch opens the fill valve and runs the macerator together. The smaller one fills the toilet if pressed to the left and empties it if pressed to the right.
They even put pictures on the switch for those who can't read

I made this up for my boat as I got fed up explaining to pax how to use the loo!
The "add water for user convenience" is copied from the Jabsco text and is basically a polite way of saying, if you're going to take a dump, then put extra water in first so no turtle heads poke above the water line and to also make it easy to assist your droppings through the pipework when done. Keeping turds below the waterline also minimises aroma throughout the vessel.

Hi Paul had the boat 7 years , I know what they do but I don’t understand why there are two flushing buttons.Why not press the switches and see what they do ? How long have you had the boat ?

Big one fills and empties.
Little one has separate options for fill and empty. Typically, you'd press the left side to pus some water in the pan, then when finished press the right side to flush it away.

Because the top one only toggles in one direction, ie a single push button, that you use 90% of the time, the other two way button is for additional functions (eg cleaning, pre poo fill etc)

I've just serviced the "quiet flush" unit. For anyone undertaking this task, Jabsco sell a service kit but rather frustratingly, they used a 3/32" allen screw to hold the impeller on the motor shaft (part 17 in the diagram). All the tools on the boat are metric so needed a trip home to dig out my old imperial allen set.
The loo has never really worked as expected since we owned the boat. Now I know why. Some man made fibres (looks like bit of old rope) was tangled around the macerator blade. All sorted now and the loo is fit to handle anything the local curry shop could throw at it.
Experience more Beneteau "design features" too. The motor cable drops straight into the floor behind the pan and the cable isn't long enough to move the motor far enough back to get it out. The cables wouldn't shift whatever I did and it appears they are fixed to the (inaccessible) underneath of the floor/shower tray. I had to cut and extend them to complete the job.
