Gang Box Installation (WallPod Version)

1. Remove the aesthetic wall plate by grasping top and bottom of left and right edges, and pull away from the center. Removal of connecting frame may be necessary ifthe aesthetic wall plate is not being used, such as if it is being replaced by a third-party wall plate.
2. Attach the WallPod to the gang box using a #2 Philips head screwdriver and the provided hardware.
3. Attach the wall plate.

Anti-Tamper Feature
The WallPod version of the rPOD Micro includes an anti-tamper feature that prevents the switch from being used when it is removed from its mounting surface. If removed from the mounting surface, the WallPod will be disabled until it is returned to the correct orientation and is in that orientation for at least 60 seconds See the Blink Warnings section for more information.
Custom Orientation
When an rPOD Micro WallPod is mounted to a wall, it is expected that the device will be mounted plum. However, if the device is placed in a non-plum manner (leaning forward, leaning backward, or not generally upright), a custom orientation can be set on the device by following the below steps.

1. Power cycle the device (remove battery and re-insert battery). A slow flash should be seen after the battery is re-inserted.
2. For three minutes after the battery is re-inserted, the top-left-most button and bottom-right-most button can be pressed simultaneously for 10 seconds to establish a custom orientation for the device. The LED will turn off after a successful 10-second press-and-hold.
3. The device must remain motionless in the custom orientation for at least 5 seconds. A slow blink on and off will be seen until completed.

Battery Life Reporting
The rPODU reports battery life via the ranges listed below. Battery life is captured by a device in the group with modern firmware that is acting as a group monitor (a device that manages messages within the group).

• Good: 51% or better
• Fair: 26% to 50%
• Poor: 1% to 25%
• Replace: <1%

Blink Warnings
The below is a list of the rPOD Micro blink warnings.

• Rapid Flash + 1 Blink: the device is not plum and must be placed in an upright position.
• Rapid Flash + 2 Blinks: time within the first minute of the battery being replaced where the device is expecting to be returned to its mounting location.
• Long Flash On/Off: identifies that a device has been power cycled.
• Slow Flash: a device is registering a custom orientation. This flash will last between 5 to 10 seconds.
