If the APPO is left in a Hurricane upside down because the mast fell over the following may happen.
Water may enter the drain hole on the bottom near the N connector The water will cause the APPO not to respond to the Simple Monitor You will not be able to ping the APPO The APPO will show power, TX, and Ethernet lights in good working order Q&A While the APPO is turned upside down should you leave it powered up? NO it may cause damage with the water in it! How do you get the water out of the APPO? Squeeze the front plastic section until you hear the water blowing out of the drain hole. Do you connect the APPO to the power after squeezing? No leave right side up for 48hrs so that it may dry. Will the APPO still work after 48hrs. YES! Like it never happened. :) My APPO repeater got drowned and yes it still works after I literally squeezed the water out and left it to dry. I now have new faith in these outdoor radios although I would not suggest drawing one on purpose. The above is simply for fun because it is working. IF it had died I would not be very light hearted about it.
