Failure to do so will cause background updates to corrupt, thus preventing you from using your printer. While in a powered-down state, with the printer plugged in, it is estimated the printer will use **5-15Wh** of electricity. ### Power Down Steps **Note:**  If you wish to safely unplug the machine, **please wait at least 1 minute after powering down** before removing the power cable.  | ### Step 1 | ### Step 2 | ### Step 3 | | --- | --- | --- | | On the display, locate and press the **Power Icon** at the bottom-left.   ![image-20260713-194609](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-20260713-194609.png?width=670&height=503&name=image-20260713-194609.png) | This will bring you to the **Power Menu.** Please press **Shutdown.** ![image-20260713-194621](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-20260713-194621.png?width=670&height=503&name=image-20260713-194621.png) | From here, we can press **Both.** The screen will run lines of code, then turn black.\| ![image-20260713-194621](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-20260713-194621.png?width=670&height=503&name=image-20260713-194621.png) | ### Power Cycle Steps![03e04e19-acf0-4f52-ad25-4e4370aaea60](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/hs-fs/hubfs/03e04e19-acf0-4f52-ad25-4e4370aaea60.png?width=291&height=388&name=03e04e19-acf0-4f52-ad25-4e4370aaea60.png) To initiate a power-cycle, you must first properly power-down the printer and wait at least 1 minute. Then, you may unplug the printer. Locate the black box at the back of the kiosk. You can find a black power cable underneath to safely unplug. If you wish to turn your printer back on, simply plug the power cable back in. **We strongly advise that you wait at least 10 seconds before plugging back in.** - [Account & General Information](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/account-general-information?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Account & Permissions](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/account-general-information?hsLang=en#account-permissions) - [Policies & Guarantees](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/account-general-information?hsLang=en#policies-guarantees) - [Printer Returns](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/account-general-information?hsLang=en#printer-returns) - [Scanning Options](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/scanning-options?hsLang=en#main-content) - [App & Hardware Setup](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/scanning-options?hsLang=en#app-hardware-setup) - [Scanning Best Practices](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/scanning-options?hsLang=en#scanning-best-practices) - [Ordering Process & FabOne Portal](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/ordering-process-fabone-portal?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Placing & Managing Orders](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/ordering-process-fabone-portal?hsLang=en#placing-managing-orders) - [Print Control](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/ordering-process-fabone-portal?hsLang=en#print-control) - [CFAB Options](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/ordering-process-fabone-portal?hsLang=en#cfab-options) - [Galileo Product Options](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/galileo-product-options?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Prosthetic Products](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/galileo-product-options?hsLang=en#prosthetic-products) - [Orthotic Products](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/galileo-product-options?hsLang=en#orthotic-products) - [Customization & Fitting](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/galileo-product-options?hsLang=en#customization-fitting) - [Filament & Printing FAQs](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/filament-printing-faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Filament Loading & Handling](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/filament-printing-faqs?hsLang=en#filament-loading-handling) - [Preparing the Printer](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/filament-printing-faqs?hsLang=en#preparing-the-printer) - [Hardware Troubleshooting & Maintenance](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/hardware-troubleshooting-maintenance?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General Tips & Tricks](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/hardware-troubleshooting-maintenance?hsLang=en#general-tips-tricks) - [Connection Troubleshooting](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/hardware-troubleshooting-maintenance?hsLang=en#connection-troubleshooting) - [Hardware Troubleshooting - Pro](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/hardware-troubleshooting-maintenance?hsLang=en#hardware-troubleshooting-pro) - [Hardware Maintenance - Pro](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/hardware-troubleshooting-maintenance?hsLang=en#hardware-maintenance-pro) - [Hardware Troubleshooting - Galileo O&P/Pro 2](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/hardware-troubleshooting-maintenance?hsLang=en#hardware-troubleshooting-galileo-op-pro-2) - [Hardware Maintenance - Galileo O&P/Pro 2](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/galileo/hardware-troubleshooting-maintenance?hsLang=en#hardware-maintenance-galileo-op-pro-2) [![ProtostheticsGalileo Logo-1](https://www.help.protosthetics.com/hubfs/ProtostheticsGalileo%20Logo-1.svg "ProtostheticsGalileo Logo-1")](http://protosthetics.com) 510 6th Ave N, Ste D, Fargo, ND 58102 USA [mailto:success@protosthetics.com](mailto:success@protosthetics.com) Copyright © 2026, Protosthetics
