• LED indicator

  The indicator color is either green or red, depending on the model. The number of blinks indicates the number (1, 2, 3, etc.), and the interval between blinks indicates the digit:

  • Long interval: Hundreds digit
  • Medium interval: Tens digit
  • Short interval: Ones digit

  Error codes can be difficult to read in real time. Try recording a video with your phone to easily check the repeating blink pattern.

• Display Panel

  "CH" and the error code alternate on the display every 0.5 seconds.
