Reference manual Power-cycle a unit Power cycling can help a unit to start up if has been without power for a longer time, e.g. after winter storage. Power cycling a unit only makes sense if the unit is not running, i.e. the activation button is not flashing at all. While onboard, perform the following steps: • Connect the C-pod unit to the power supply and let the internal battery charge for 15 - 30 minutes. • Disconnect the power cable. • Press and hold the activation button for 15 - 20 seconds, then release the button to clear the memory. • Reconnect the power cable.  The C-pod starts up; see Reboot a unit above for the description of the start-up sequence. Discharging the internal battery If the power cycle attempt remains unsuccessful, disconnect the unit from the power supply for three days (~72 hours). Reconnect the power and the unit starts up. If this fails, contact your retailer or the C-pod Technical Support for assistance. Winter storage/Shut down unit If you wish to turn off the unit during winter storage, first put the system in Passive mode on the web portal. Go to Settings - System mode and select Passive mode. Then disconnect the power supply. The internal battery discharges and the C-pod turns off. When you wish to use the system again, reconnect the power and check that the system starts up by observing the flashing of the activation button. In rare cases a power cycle is needed; refer to the Reference manual, section Powercycling a unit. 26
