To turn the Circle device OFF
The Circle device was designed with enterprising kids in mind and has an internal battery that will keep it working, even if it's unplugged. There may be times, however, when you may need to turn your Circle device off, and this is how:
- Locate the power button on the back of your Circle device.
- Hold the power button for 10-15 seconds until the LED power indicator turns off.
- Release the power button.
NOTE: If the Circle device is still connected to a power outlet, a loss and return of power to that outlet will most likely cause the Circle device to power ON. Remove the Circle device's power adapter to prevent this.

If your Circle device is not turning on or seems to have difficulty staying on, it is possible that your Circle device is having power-related problems. Here are a few things to check to make sure that the Circle device is getting enough power:

The USB power cable must be inserted completely and snugly into both your Circle device and the power adapter plug to function properly. - Try another power outlet.
Occasionally, power outlets do not perform properly. You may need a different outlet for your Circle device. - Try another USB cable or USB wall adapter.
It is possible that your Circle device was shipped with a malfunctioning USB cable or plug. If you use another power cable or plug and find that your Circle device is now consistently receiving power, please let us know using the links below, and we will replace your defective components.
