⚠️ Low Battery Startup Behavior

When the battery is too low (below 9.6V at startup), the following will happen:

  • The trap shows a solid red LED during boot.

  • Sends a cloud error notification (if connected).

  • Automatically shuts down and enters hibernation.

  • Will not auto-recover — must be awakened manually using the power button.

  • If voltage is still low, it will repeat the cycle.

To recover, charge or replace the battery and press the power button again.
