# About the Status LEDs

DynaFlex II Go provides four LEDs (see section 7.1 Component Details), numbered LED1 through LED4, which report the device’s current operating status.

* The meaning of each LED depends on the device’s operating mode, see section 6 Operation. Most of the time, operators will check the device’s status using the LEDs when it is in Active Mode while the device is not performing a transaction.
* LED blinking patterns have specific meanings as described in Table 7-. A blinking LED generally means the device is actively doing something to change the state that the LED is indicating, and solid indicates a persistent state that would require an operator or cardholder to take action to change. One major exception is a device-wide functional failure state, such as a tamper state, where all LEDs flash urgently to call the attention of an advanced operator to intervene.

In this manual, specific blinking patterns are described in more detail in the sections where they are relevant. For example, information about how the LEDs show the device’s connection status is in section Connecting DynaFlex II Go to a Host.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.magtek.com/hardware/card-readers/mms-dyna-devices/dynaflex-ii-go/documentation/user-manuals/installation-and-operation-manual/user-interface/about-the-status-leds.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
