The following procedure will guide you step-by-step to replace your FlexiObox
If you're reading this, your FlexiObox is most likely offline.
In this case, FlexiO can no longer connect to our servers, and FlexiO will no longer work (correctly). This does not mean your system can't work; it will fall back to the standard self-steering instead of the smart steering of FlexiO.
In this brief guide, we’ll show you how to easily replace the old device with a new FlexiObox.
Important: please return the old device to LIFEPOWR. This can be done free of charge using the included white envelope, which you can return to any Bpost mailbox, drop-off point or office.
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Locate your old FlexiObox.
How does my FlexiObox look like?
The FlexiObox is a small computer, roughly the size of a book of cards, with a black metal exterior. On the front, you'll find the LIFEPOWR logo:

Stap 2: To disconnect your old FlexiObox.
Here’s how to properly disconnect the old FlexiObox:

There are usually 2 to 4 cables connected. Carefully unplug all cables from the FlexiObox.
Note: the network connector has a clip at the back, which you need to press down to easily unplug the connector from the FlexiObox.
Remove the FlexiObox from the wall:
If your FlexiObox is mounted without the specific clamp (eg. with screws): gently lift the device off the wall to remove it.
Prepare for return:
