Start Up

When you start the block, it enters sleep mode.
The block will hapilly stay in sleep mode until you decide to wake it up. Because most parts are asleep in this mode, it also perserves battery life.

You can wake the device by pressing and holding both arms until the screen goes blank.
After releasing the arms, you will be dropped into the menu.
Menu navigation is covered in the upcoming Basic Navigation chapter.

If you spend too much time idle in the top level menu, the block will go back to sleep, as it was when you first powered it up.

Background Jobs

The block will periodically wake itself up from sleep, to perform background tasks, like updating weather data (if configured).
Whilst performing background tasks, it displays an eyes emoticon.
