seconds.

Turning Power Off

Press and hold the center power button on either the master or client for approximately 
two seconds to power off.

Power Status LED 

The power status LED is located on the right side of both master and client devices: 
1.  Green (solid) – indicates the device is operating and the battery voltage is satisfactory. 
2.  Orange (solid) – indicates the device is operating and the battery voltage is low. 
3.  Blue (solid) – indicates the device is charging. Charging can occur while the unit is on 

or off. 

Device Status LED 

The device status LED is located on the left side of both master and client devices: 
1.  White (solid) – indicates the device is powering up. 
2.  Off – indicates the client and master are not connected.

•  client is not paired to a master
•  client is out of radio range from the paired master
•  master is not connected to any client devices

3.  Green (solid) – indicates the client and master are connected and the devices are idle.
4.  Green (blinking) – indicates that a test is in progress or the devices are in pairing 

mode.

5.  Green/White (blinking) – indicates the master is attempting to send results to the 

tablet but the tablet is not currently connected. If the tablet is in the proximity of the 
master and this state persists, the tablet may have associated with a different access 
point. Refer to “Connecting a Tablet to the AirScout” to restore the connection.

6.  Purple (blinking) – indicates location mode is active.
