AMSAT CubeSatSim Quick Start Manual

CubeSatSim Quick Start Guide
How to Turn on the CubeSatSim:
If the Remove Before Flight pin is plugged in (see photo), unplug pin and
the CubeSatSim should turn on in about 30 seconds. The Green Power
LED will first turn on, then the Blue Transmit LED will blink when it is
transmitting.
If removing the Remove Before Flight pin doesn't turn it on, try inserting
and removing the Remove Before Flight pin. If it still doesn't turn on, the
battery may be drained – see below on how to charge the CubeSatSim.
How to Turn Off the CubeSatSim:
Press and hold the push-button. The Green Power LED will do a
sequence of short blinks. When the Green Power LED begins to blink
slowly, release the push-button and the CubeSatSim will shut down after
about 30 seconds. Insert the Remove Before Flight pin to complete the
shut down.
How to Charge the CubeSatSim:
The CubeSatSim can be charged while turned on or off, with the Remove
Before Flight pin unplugged or plugged. For fastest charging, charge with
CubeSatSim off and the Remove Before Flight pin plugged in.
Plug the USB-C cable into the USB charging connector. The Red
Charging LED will illuminate. It can take several hours to fully charge the
batteries. For the maximum charge, charge overnight or 8 hours.
If the Remove Before Flight pin is not inserted during storage, the batteries
will discharge, so always insert the Remove Before Flight to shut down the
CubeSatSim.
