How do I make sure the PCD is working in my Mamava pod?

The PCD (Pod Control Device) serves as a major electrical component of Mamava’s V4, V5 and Solo pods. If you’re having electrical or lock issues, it could stem from the PCD.

The following article applies to these pods:

• Mamava Original V4
• Mamava Original V5
• Mamava XL V4 (formerly ADA V4)
• Mamava XL V5 (formerly ADA V5)
• All Solo pods V1, V1.1, V2.0)

Follow these instructions to make sure your PCD is working, either as a troubleshooting step or after it's been replaced.
