End Of PodPoint Contract

[IanIanIanIan]

Well, my three year contract with PodPoint ended yesterday and if I remember correctly the PodPoint wall unit is now mine.

I have removed the SIMM card but does anybody know how I may reduce the constant 15 Watt parasitic load of the unit. Some must be to power the data transmission components which are now redundant but I can't for the life of me identify them. Any leads (apart from the charging lead of course)?

Hi why not turn it off at breaker when not in use

The RCD is a safety device and not a switch and should not be used as one. Tested as necessary but not used as an on-off switch which it was not designed to be.

Anybody know how to disable the parasitic drain for the GSM circuitry?

Hi The RCB is a safety device which is why i said the breaker as you would be switching it off when it is not under load.
