Anyway until I can get past the setup to use it it's moot.
All my Kobo devices will show some sign they are powered off, if they are powered off correctly. Exactly what is shown, depends on some options in the settings. If it hangs and you force the device off, then it will probably show whatever was on the screen at the time.

The manual tells you how to do the setup. The fact that it doesn't tell you how to hack the device to do something it isn't intended to do, is not a fault of the manual. If you want to avoid this, it has been discussed many times here and a search will find the details. But, Kobo do not do any validation of the email address beyond making sure it looks like one. It is simple to just use a fake address.
