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