  • POWER = Button on the right side of the device, center area (right below the USB socket)

Leds

  • EVENT = Red LED behind the AUX Button
  • HEARTBEAT = Orange LED behind the Power Button
  • WIRELESS = Blue LED behind the Power Button

Modes

  • OFF = Device has no power or has been shutdown
  • ON = Device is fully powered
  • LOCK = Device is fully powered, but has screen lock displayed
  • SUSPEND = Device has been suspended to low-power mode

Basic Button Usage

This is grouped by mode:

Mode: OFF

  • To switch the device on: Press and hold POWER until the boot logo appears.
  • To enter the "normal" (NAND) boot menu: Press and hold POWER, one second later press and hold AUX.
  • To enter the "rescue" (NOR) boot menu: Press and hold AUX, then press and hold POWER.

Mode: ON

  • To suspend the device: Press POWER.
  • To shut down the device: Press and hold POWER for 4 seconds. If the device hangs, press and hold POWER for 8 seconds. If it still hangs, remove the battery.
  • To go to the home screen: Press AUX.
  • To display the profile screen: Press and hold AUX until it appears.

Mode: SUSPEND

  • To wakeup the device: Press POWER.

Basic LED Usage

This is grouped by mode:

Mode: OFF

  • All LEDs will be turned off.

Mode: ON

  • HEARTBEAT will emit a short blink every 4 seconds.
  • If Bluetooth is powered on, WIRELESS will emit a short blink every 2 seconds.
  • If Wifi is powered on, WIRELESS will emit a long blink every 2 seconds.
  • If Bluetooth and Wifi are powered on, WIRELESS will be lit continuosly.

Mode: SUSPEND

  • All LEDs will be turned off. (Can we change that?)

Advanced Button/LED Usage

  • In ON-Mode, EVENT will blink every 2 seconds if there's an event that needs your attention.
  • The more events, the faster EVENT will blink.
  • Pressing AUX will acknowledge the event with the topmost priority and display it to you.
  • EVENT will stop to blink once all events have been acknowledged.
