button & led information
This section describes how the button on the DataScout is used
to perform diagnostic and functional tasks. It also explains what
information is conveyed by the LED. This information is summa-
rized on the labels (Figures 1 and 2) affixed inside the door of
each unit.
Button Functions
The length of time the DataScout button is pressed determines
which function it performs. The LED has 3 colors; green, yellow,
and red.
Battery State: Press and immediately release the button to check
the battery status and whether or not it is currently being
charged by the solar panel. The explanation of each color is giv-
en in the Battery State column of the figures .
Signal/Communication Strength: Press and hold the button until
the light comes on (approximately 2 seconds) to initiate a test of
the signal strength and/or communication state.
Cellular: If the DataScout has
good signal strength and can
connect to the SpecConnect
servers, the LED will light
Green. Amber indicates that it
can connect but has low sig-
nal strength. If there is no con-
nection (bad cellular signal or
server cannot be reached),
the LED will light Red.
