Default DIC question

Some time ago, read a post where the person described spending a few hours learning the ins and outs of the DIC. As I have fumbled around(yes, technologically challenged) with DIC, I have wondered if this person knew how to spend time on his learning with the engine off. If there is a way to do this, I can't figure it out.

Anybody here that can answer this and explain the "how" of accessing the DIC with engine shut down?

I believe you hold down the start button for 10 seconds and it will power up. Do this without foot on brake.

This P-Diddy. When you are finished, do you have to shut DIC down or does it just time out someway?

Just tap the start button to turn it off.

Foot off brake, push and hold START button till it comes to life. Shutdown as usual.

I do this with a charger/tender connected to avoid killing the battery. I'm a slow learner.
