Flashes slowly once per second; flashes fast: 4 times per second
1) During an update of the communication software, the LEDs first flash slowly in sequence. Later, only the S LED remains ON.
2) Shortly after logging in, the field strength is always signaled as minimal or unknown by the Quality LED flashing once. Cause: At this point in
time, the device has only detected that there is a field strength present. The actual calculation of the field strength takes place at the next
check after 15 seconds.
