LED Guide
This guide explains what each LED pattern means on your OcuTrap device. It includes normal system statuses, user-button interactions, and low-battery behavior.
System Status Indicators
These patterns occur during power-up, connectivity, or firmware activity.
| Status | LED Pattern | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Connected Mode | Breathing Cyan | Connected to the cloud and fully operational. |
| Connecting to Cloud | Fast Blinking Cyan | Attempting to connect to the cloud. |
| OTA Firmware Update | Blinking Magenta | Firmware update or booting in safe mode. |
| Looking for Internet | Blinking Green | Searching for a cellular signal. |
| Red Flash SOS | Rapid Red Blinks | System error. Contact support if >10 blinks. |
| No Status LED | No Light | Device has no power or failed to boot. |
| Hibernation | LED Off | Trap has entered low-power sleep. Wake with power button. |
Note: These modes are managed automatically. Only use the power button if the LED does not respond.
⚠️ Low Battery Startup Behavior
When the battery is critically low 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.
- Low-battery hibernation auto-wakes about once an hour to re-check the battery (v946+); it recovers on its own once voltage is back. Only a manual power-button shutdown stays off until you press 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.
🎛️ User Button LED Patterns
These appear when using the physical User Button or Power Button on the device.
