    In this step we need to disconnect the power cable  
    and verify that the reserve battery gets discharged  
    within 5 seconds.

    ## Steps
    1. Disconnect power cable.  
       It's in the back.
    2. Wait 5 seconds.
    3. Check that reserve battery is empty.  
       See below for more info.

    ## Verifying battery is discharged
    There's a red light that goes off.

    **Do not touch** the button next to that light.
