AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Some of my testing requires making changes to the bike that can require a bit of time. For example I have been doing some comparisons involving a wheel cover for the rear wheel. It takes me about 20 minutes to remove or install the wheel cover. During that time the Aeropod sometimes shuts itself down but not always.
For purposes of comparing files it would be useful to be able to turn the Aeropod off while doing the mechanical work and then turn it back on when I'm ready to ride again. That would make syncing my Garmin data and my Aeropod data easier.
This would also be useful in other contexts (eg: when I am not doing calibration testing but want to switch bikes without waiting for the Aeropod to automatically shut down)
So, is there a way to turn the Aeropod off without forcing a new sync/calibration?

Yes. Click the button 5 times in succession. You'll see solid Green, then Yellow, then Red, then off. AP is turned off.
