Solo Battery Calibration

I just read the following regarding calibration:
  1. Gently discharge the battery pack until it cuts off the first time (this is around 12V).
  2. Allow the pack the relax for at least 5 hours. The pack’s voltage will climb above 12V during this process. DO NOT TRY TO DISCHARGE THE PACK AGAIN. Damage to the battery may result.
  3. Charge the pack completely and leave it on the charger for 48 hours. The pack will relax, then do a balance cycle, then top off.
  4. Let the pack sit for at least 2 hours off the charger before using the pack.
This tutorial was written by the Solo EE team (Jeff Wurzbach and Philip Rowse).

Question - How do I "Gently discharge the battery pack"?

Use the Solex app and go to Settings> choose your solo> then scroll down to Run Motors. from there you can watch the live V. counter for each cell.
My question is how do i know the battery is above 12V after 5 hours of resting? Does it interupt the process if i plug it and turn on the Solo and check the voltage in the solex app?
