1.6.1 Power ON/OFF Procedure
Connect the power supply to your device first and only then plug it into the wall socket. To turn on
the device, press the power switch to start up the system. It will take about 1-2 minutes for the
device to go online but the blue system LED (OS) will indicate when the system is ready.
To safely turn off the device, press and hold the power switch for 3 seconds until the blue system
LED (OS) starts flashing. The system will then shut down all services and about 20 seconds later,
it will power down. If for some reason the system is unresponsive, press and hold the power switch
for 6 seconds to forcefully shut down the system and cut off the power.
