  1. Press the Wake button and wait 5-10 seconds after the cellular LED starts blinking. When the cellular LED starts blinking, do either other of the following:
    • Press Enter on the CLI connection while the LEDs are flashing to wake the CLI so that it will stay awake after the connection completes.
    • Type status at the command prompt while the LEDs are flashing and before the connection completes, which can be around 20 seconds with a good cellular tower connection.
  1. Find the Battery Life field to see how much battery life remains. See status for information about all of the status information fields.
  2. When the process is complete, close the cover on the device. The cover snaps into place.

    Note The Connect Sensor+ enclosure may require some force to close. This is intended as part of the design to ensure a robust seal in damp or dusty environments. For details about closing the Connect Sensor+ enclosure, see Closing the v2.
