They are used to toggle the following options on/off

Edit > Options > Maintain Object Position/Scale on Scaling.

Try select a bunch of objects in the scene. In object mode, turn on the scale manipulator, set the options, not set them all on otherwise nothing happen, then scale the objects. You should see different results with different settings.

"Maintain Object Scale on Scaling": I have never seen this style of behavior before in other applications and it seems pretty cool! I can imagine that it is very useful to control distances between objects.

I´ve checked and see. Off means Object global scaling and movement for the whole selection. On means object local scaling and/or movement of each individual object. Thanks for explanation.
