GL30MG LED Description (work separately) - 7 - Spark Nano 8 User Manual Note: 1. Fast flashing is about 60ms when the LED indicator is on and 780ms when it is off. 2. Slow flash is about 60ms when the LED indicator is on and 1940ms when it is off. The Red led would be on after pushing the button for more than 3s when the device is powered off, if the push time is less than 3s that the push event would be ignored. Green led would be on when pushing the button down when the device is waked up. After the device is turned on, the LEDs turn on for 5 minutes and then turn off. Please refer to the following table when two LEDs work in combination: During power-on When checking the device status During power-off Red LED will be on to indicate the device is powered on. Green LED will be on to indicate the device still works. Red LED will flash simultaneously to indicate the device is powered off. Table 4.
