Setup 3/4: Powering on the simulator
Paul does not have a power button. To power it on, connect the simulator to its power supply using the provided simulator cable.
The status LED on the simulator belly flashes blue while powering on.
CAUTIONS
Do not manipulate the simulator during start up, as the motors and sensors are calibrating during this phase.
Do not change the lighting conditions during start up, as some sensors on the simulator are light-sensitive.
When the simulator connects to the Graphical User Interface, the status LED turns off. The simulator starts breathing. A green checkmark appears next to the simulator icon in the status bar when the simulator is connected.
The battery status is shown in the same area. During charging, a charging animation is displayed on the battery icon.
TIP
Paul charges fastest when it is connected with the cable and is in standby mode.
