Low Battery Level
When battery level is low.
No LED or vibration indication when battery is low. If
you look at the representation of the controller in the
headset, there is a battery indicator icon on the
handle. When battery is low, the indicator icon will be
red.
Critical Battery Level
During power on when battery level is "Critical".
"Critical" battery level means there is insufficient
power for controller to stay on and the controller will
turn off automatically.
Controller vibrates 3 times when you turn it on, then
automatically turns off.
Device Update
This happens when you turn the controller on and a
firmware update is required.
During controller firmware update, the controller will
be unresponsive, though you will still be able to turn it
off. If you turn it off during firmware update, the
controller will simply try to update again the next time
you turn it on and it connects to the computer.
When a controller firmware update starts, you will see
a Windows notification telling you that the controller
is being updated.
During firmware update, the LEDs will blink in an
alternating pattern of half of the outer ring lights,
then half of the inner ring lights.
