Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) LED Behavior

Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Status LED 2 and LED 3

LED 2 is designated for indicating Bluetooth® connection status, not USB connection status.

  • When LED 2 is off, it indicates that the device is not currently connected via Bluetooth®. In most cases, this implies that the device has a Bluetooth® signal that is not connected, unless this has been intentionally disabled through configuration.

  • When LED 2 is on, it indicates that the device is currently connected via Bluetooth®. LED 3 is designated for indicating readiness for Bluetooth® message exchange.

  • When LED 3 is off, it indicates that the Bluetooth® connection is not yet ready. This could be due to the absence of a secure connection or the non-activation of device-to-host characteristic notifications.

  • When LED 3 is on, it indicates that the Bluetooth® connection is ready, signaling the establishment of a secure connection and the activation of device-to-host characteristic notifications.

Power On DynaFlex II Go in Battery Operating Mode

Press and hold the Power Button for two seconds: initially, LED 4 will light up, followed by all four LEDs illuminating for one second. This is followed by LEDs 1 and 2 remaining lit for 2 seconds, after which only LED 1 will be active.

Figure - LED Behavior for Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Ready State

If the host is within the Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) connection range, all three LEDs (LED 1, 2, 3) will be illuminated, as described in Figure 7-8 - LED Behavior for Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Ready State.

Power Off DynaFlex II Go in Battery Operating Mode

DynaFlex II Go is capable of being powered off while in Battery Operating Mode only. To initiate the power-off sequence, press and hold the Power Button for two beeps then release. It's important to note that DynaFlex II Go cannot be powered off while connected via USB. If a two-beep sequence is initiated while connected to USB the device will reboot.

DynaFlex II Go Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Host Pairing

DynaFlex II Go must first be paired with the host device before a secure Bluetooth® connection can be established. Follow the steps below to activate Bluetooth® pairing mode:

  • Press and Hold the Power Button for 4 beeps

  • Release the Power Button

  • LED 1 will remain steadily illuminated while LED 4 will begin to blink. When LED 4 is blinking it indicates the device is waiting to pair with the host. It will continue to blink for 3 minutes, waiting to pair with the host.

Figure - Activate BLE Pairing Mode

  • When the host is pairing with DynaFlex II GO, LED 4 will remain off and LED 2 will power on, indicating the pair is processing.

Figure - Bluetooth® LE Pair Processing

  • The device will return to Power On status if pairing Succeeds or Fails. LED 2 will power off and LED 1 will remain powered on.

DynaFlex II Go Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Host Connected

When the device establishes a connection to the host via BLE and is prepared for secure communication, all three LEDs (LED 1, 2, 3) will illuminate steadily.

DynaFlex II Go Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Host Disconnect

When the device is disconnected from the host Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) connection, LED 3 will power off first and after 4 seconds, LED 2 will power off, LED 1 will remain powered on as the device returns to Ready State.

DynaFlex II Go Bluetooth® Low Energy (LE) Sleep Mode

When in Bluetooth® LE Sleep Mode, DynaFlex II Go will conserve battery life by limiting power to non-essential hardware features and entering low power mode. When in Sleep Mode, the device will appear to be powered off, with no LEDs illuminated, see Figure 7-15 – Bluetooth® (LE) Sleep Mode. For information on how to disable this feature, see D998200597 DynaFlex II Go Programmer’s Manual (COMMANDS).
