Specialist LED colours and states

'DFU mode' is a special state that can be entered by holding the magnet on for 10 seconds when in the powered off state. This should only be done if recommended by Icoteq support staff for debugging purposes.

Color System State
Flashing Red Awaiting a DFU mode bluetooth connection
Solid Red Bluetooth client is connected in DFU mode
Solid Green MCU firmware uploading
Solid Yellow Radio firmware uploading

Note that during an firmware update, your device will transition through the DFU state as part of the process. In the event your device gets stuck in this mode you can reissue the firmware update command again and it should resume as normal.
