What do the Lights Mean?

MySOS device status indicators.

1. GSM light 

(Amber)

• 

Light shows a slow single flash every five 
seconds when the device has a GSM signal. 
Light shows a slow double flash every five 
seconds when the device is registered 
to the GPRS network. Light not flashing. 
This means the device has been unable to 
connect to the network. 

2. Battery light 

(Red)

• 

Continuously lit when battery is charging and switches off when fully 
charged.

• 

Light flashes once every two seconds when operating normally.

• 

When the SOS button is pressed, the battery indicator light will flash rapidly 
to acknowledge button press and will then double flash every two seconds 
while the request is being performed. It will then flash normally.

• 

Light double flashes every two seconds while performing a position request 
or making a phone call. It will then flash normally.

• 

The light will flash three times every five seconds when the battery is low 
and requires charging.

 

3. GPS light 

(Blue)

• 

Light flashes blue every five seconds when device has acquired a GPS 
signal and has an up to date position.

All lights 

• 

All lights flashing simultaneously at the same time is a warning that the 
SIM card has failed to register with the device. The MySOS needs to be 
restarted to rectify the problem.

• 

If the problem persists, the battery is low in power and needs recharging 
immediately.
