Button Function MINI Anchor / MINI Master Anchor:
Short Press (device off)
show Battery > 60% green, > 30% orange, >10% red, <10% red fast blinking
Long Press
switch device on / off
Note
After a long press to switch the device on 2 cases are possible
Case 1
Switch on: long Press – Pure bright green LED for some seconds (everything is OK), after that the LED gets darker and shows the current battery state (green, orange,..) This state is automatically updated. If the battery gets empty the device will switch off.
Case 2
Switch on: long Press – Pure bright red LED for some seconds (battery is to low), after that the LED gets darker, blinks red for some seconds and then the device switches off. This means that the battery is empty and you cannot switch it on!
Charging
Red slow blinking is indicating charging, constant green light means fully charged. If the device is on, then gets charged it will be on again after you remove the charger. If the device is off and then gets charged it will turn on as soon as you plug it in and turn off when you pull the charging plug. If something is wrong during charging the led will show Magenta.
Usage with removed battery
Apply charger – start up (magenta LED for some seconds) – then LED goes to cyan, no function on the button. If power is applied it is on, otherwise it is off.
