Understanding the Indicator Light
| Light Colour | Behaviour | What It Means |

| Red | Steady (approximately 3 minutes) | Low power or initial startup |
| Red | Blinking quickly (2 times per second) | Ready for pairing |
| White | On | Device connected and powered on |
| White | Off | Device powered off |
A solid white light means the device is successfully connected. A red light means it is not connected to the network.
