LEDs, Status Indicators
GEOSTIX devices are equipped with four status indicators: three on the front panel and one on the rear side. The front-facing LEDs are multicolor and indicate the operating status of:
- the GNSS module (satellite icon)
- the GEOSTIX microcontroller (CPU icon)
- the Bluetooth interface (Bluetooth icon, bottom)
The rear-facing LED is green-only and indicates battery charging activity.
