This phase tests for several additional potential faults and statuses. Once the LEDs are
purple, press the power button followed by every position on the Touch Strip. Alternatively, you
may slowly slide your finger down the Touch Strip.
Once all buttons have been pressed, the Touch Strip will display a color pattern. These colors
signify the health of Gear and could help troubleshoot some issues.
