• To power up the C5, first plug in to a USB power port using a microUSB type B cable, or in to an external battery pack.
  • Then, switch the power ON
  • The Power Switch is recessed into the case to prevent accidental switching
  • You will use the Power Switch often, to control C5 protocol termination and to reset the device.


  • The C5 can only be adjusted within the first 10 seconds of power-up. After that, it initiates the AUTO-RUN sequence.

  • Once the C5 is running, you can not adjust the settings. This is to prevent accidental changes to settings to the device.

  • If power is interrupted for any reason, the C5 will restart the most recent protocol using your most recent settings as soon as power is reestablished. You do not need to do anything but provide reliable power.

  • To adjust the settings, you simply switch the C5 OFF, wait one second, then switch it back ON.

  • This feature seems annoying at first, but it prevents unintended changes to the settings on your C5. Once you get used to it, it will make sense.
