4. The EquiAlarm indicators
4.1 The status indicator
The status indicator is the outermost light on the side of the EquiAlarm. The status
indicator is a special light that can light up in 3 different colours: blue, green and red.
You can read the status of the EquiAlarm via the status indicator flash sequence. For
example, if the light is flashing Green, the EquiAlarm is OK. On the contrary, when the
status indicator is flashing red, the battery needs replacing.
The status indicator also displays further information when the EquiAlarm is making a
call. If the light is flashing blue and red alternatingly, this means that the signal recep-
tion is poor. If the light alternates between yellow/blue or green/blue, then the recep-
tion is fair or good! You can read what the standard light patterns mean below.

4.2 The GSM indicator
Alongside the status indicator on the side of the EquiAlarm, you will also find a light
with the inscription “GSM”. This indicator only lights up amber. It is directly linked with
the EquiAlarm‘s internal GSM and will only light up when the internal GSM is active.
There are, in a nutshell, 3 possible situations in the case of the GSM indicator:
• The GSM is seeking a network connection (light flashes rapidly)
• The GSM has a network connection (light flashes slowly)
• The GSM is currently making a call (light is continuously lit throughout the call)
The GSM Indicator is only for support. As a general rule, you will mostly use the status indicator.
