I bought this unit but it will not power on unless I press the power button on the unit. I want to wire a remote switch, the unit is mounted in rear

The way it is wired it is not possible to do this without rewiring the power within the unit. You would have to remote wire the power switch on the unit or bypass it which will void any warranty that is on the unit. Good Luck!

There is a little button in the front of the unit, you press the button. You must connect(power and the USB Cables to it in order for it to work. I hope this information helps.

Yes,just make sure the power button is on.It's the crescent shaped one at the top of your unit with the power icon.

I had that problem once. There is a reset button to push. When I did that it powered back on and I haven't had the issue since.

No on this unit once the power goes off to the unit the button on the unit needs to be used to turn it on.

What I would try is an AC Power Cycle first. 1. Shut off the unit with power switch 2. Unplug the unit 3. Turn unit back on (yes with no power) 4. Hold reset button down for 30 seconds or so to completely drain all power 5. Turn off power 6. Plug unit back in and try to turn unit on and see if that resets it. Many times with any electronics an AC Power Cycle like this can resolve many issues.I do agree they should have a downloadable copy of the manual though.

I have not had this problem with mine, but did find that the remote doesn't always boot the unit. It has come on fine after pushing the top button on the back - or - simply by unplugging and plugging back in. Sorry I could not be of more help.

That happened to me after a few months of use. I called wild game innovations and I explained to them that it wouldn't power on and they asked I send it in to them. Promptly after I sent it into them they sent me a brand new one. To this day the new one they sent me works perfectly!

I just tried pulling the plug, then plugging it back in. Obviously it turned off when the power was cut, but it won't come back on until the power button on the light itself is pressed.

Hold the power switch to off for 15 seconds. When releasing the switch you should see it power on. Mine did this and this process fixed it. Had mine for over a year, no other problems and it's surviving Afghanistan and all the dirt just fine.

The actual unit should not take longe before it cuts on....hold the power button down

If you have an Off/On switch just disconnect it and wire the control unit as described in the instructions in place of the switch making sure you have the wires (power in and power out and ground ) wired correctly.

Hit the power button, it will go to standby. I don't believe there is a master power switch.
