3Power
Before switching on your Grid Pad for the first time, it is best to
plug in the power lead and charge the battery. Press the power
to turn the device on, the LED will light up to signal the device is
starting.
Your Grid Pad will automatically load Grid 3 when turned on.

11
Shutting down your Grid Pad
When not in use, it is good practice to shut down your Grid Pad
completely. This will give any automatic updates a chance to be
applied. We also recommend that your device is shut down before
it is stored for transit.
Open the Start menu and tap the power icon. From here you can
select Sleep, Shut down and Restart. Selecting Shut down will
power the device down completely.
It is also possible to turn off your device from within Grid 3, by
using the Turn off computer command. This command can be
added to any grid set.
Force shut down
If you press and hold the power button for five seconds, your Grid
Pad will shut down. Please note that this is only recommended in
emergencies, and that any unsaved work will be lost.

12
Your Grid Pad comes supplied with a remote power button. This is
designed to enable anyone to turn on their device either using the
built in button or a separate switch.
Setup
The remote power button will already be paired with your Grid
Pad. To use the remote power button, remove the battery cover
on the back and insert two AAA batteries. If you do not intend
on using the remote power button, or need to store it for a long
period, we recommend that you remove the batteries.
Using the remote power button
Press the power button once to turn your Grid Pad on or wake it
from sleep.
In the event of a crash, press and hold the button for 5 seconds
to force the Grid Pad to shut down. Note you may lose work and
unsaved changes!
Attaching an additional switch
The remote power button has a built in 3.5mm jack. You can use
this to attach a compatible switch to turn your Grid Pad on. When
a switch is attached, it will act exactly like the button.
