4.7 About patterns
The four high intensity LEDs and audible sounds are used to communicate the state of the various
functions performed by the Personal Node ranging from, for example, battery health to a proximity
event alarm. The visible LEDs and audible sounds convey each state with a pre-defined pattern. Each
pattern consists of the combination of the audible sound plus the number of LEDs, LED colour, LED
sequence, illumination frequency or persistency.
The audible alert/alarm is multi-purpose and is interpreted in context with the situation and LED
pattern as described in the following pages.
4.7.1 Start-up sequence
A Personal Node performs a start-up sequence when it is removed from the Personal Node Charging
Dock (dock). The start-up LED pattern in Table 8 Start-up sequence below, confirms it is ready to use.
Advise the System Administrator if the start-up sequence fails at any of the stages shown below.
Only remove a Personal Node from the dock if the Charge LED is solid green. A
red Charge LED indicates the battery is not fully charged.
