The light does not come on or stays green
Check if the P1 plug is fully inserted into the meter. Does the light stay green or does it not turn blue? Connect a 5 V / 1 A USB-C adapter and check the cable and adapter. Then check again if the light turns blue. If it doesn't, also check if your meter's P1 port is activated and contact ZinVolt if necessary.
Keep the P1 dongle in a dry, well-ventilated place away from heat sources.
