Troubleshooting
The bracket will not come off the wall
The bracket is designed so as to not come off the wall. This is by design. Attempting to remove
the bracket can cause damage to your mounting surface. Before mounting, ensure that you
have identified the final installation location, used the Positioning Tool and read the installation

Gear won’t Power On
Ensure the Back Cover is securely snapped into place. Gear does not power on or function in
any capacity if the cover is off.
Ensure that Gear is plugged in. Gear does not function in any capacity if it is not plugged in. The
one exception is that it continues to fire schedules that are already on Gear.
If Gear is plugged in, ensure that the power source is capable of delivering power. Try a
different outlet if using the Power Adapter or change the AA batteries if using the Solar Bar.
As a last effort, attempt a BIST. This will at least provide an idea of whether Gear is capable of

successful, recalibrate Gear.

saved schedules when turned back on. Scenarios which power Gear off include pressing and
