# LED Indicators
The LED indicators on LX1 provide real-time feedback while measuring.
They guide you on:
* When to start moving
* When to pause
* When a point has been captured
* Which [reference point](/en/moasure-lx1/your-moasure-lx1-device/reference-point-left-right.md) is active when measuring features such as doors and windows
The device LEDs and the app timer bar work together to show the same timing information.
{% hint style="info" %}
By default, Moasure LX1 automatically switches itself off after 30 seconds of inactivity. You can adjust the device's disconnection time by following [these steps](/en/moasure-lx1/your-moasure-lx1-device/turn-moasure-lx1-on-and-off.md)
{% endhint %}

### LED Quick Reference
Use this table as your simple guide while measuring:
| LED State | Meaning | What to Do |
| -------------------------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------------------ |
| **Solid green (one side)** | Ready to move | Start moving |
| **Flashing green (active side)** | Measuring (ready to pause) | Continue moving smoothly |
| **Flashing yellow / amber** | Taking too long | Pause now |
| **Flashing red** | Time exceeded | **PAUSE NOW** |
| **Red (while still)** | Waiting for stillness / laser | Hold steady |
| **Green (after pause)** | Point captured | Continue measuring |
### How Timing Feedback Works
As you move between points:
#### In the app
* The **timer bar** changes colour:\
**Green → Yellow → Red**
#### On the device
* A **single LED on the active reference point** flashes and changes colour:\
**Green → Yellow → Red**
Both indicate the same timing — you can follow either.
***
### Colour Guidance
#### 🟢 Green - Pause in the Green Zone
* App: Timer bar is in the green zone
* Device: Flashing green LED on the left or right active reference point
**Action:**\
Continue moving or pause confidently within 6 seconds.
{% hint style="info" %}
Aim to pause while in the green zone for better accuracy
{% endhint %}
#### 🟡 Yellow / Amber - Pause Now
* App: Timer bar turns yellow / amber
* Device: Flashing yellow / amber LED
**Action:**\
Pause now.
{% hint style="info" %}
**Pause Now**: Flashing amber indicates that you need to find a pause point soon or risk the LED transitioning into a Flashing Red LED
{% endhint %}
#### 🔴 Red - Time Exceeded
* App: Timer bar turns red
* Device: Flashing red LED
**Action:**\
**Pause immediately - accuracy will be affected**
***
### After You Pause
#### Waiting for Stillness
IMAGE HERE (Pic 12)
LX1 is waiting for the device to remain fully still.
**Action:**\
Hold steady — do not move.
***
#### Point Captured
IMAGE HERE (Pic 13)
The point has been successfully recorded.
**Action:**\
Continue measuring.
***
### LED Progress (Timing Build)
IMAGE HERE (Pic 11)
As you move, LEDs build across the strip to show elapsed time.
* Fewer LEDs → early in movement
* More LEDs → approaching time limit
This provides an additional visual guide alongside colour changes.
***
### Reference Edge Indicator
IMAGE HERE (Pic 21)
The small side LEDs show which reference point is active.
* Left LED on → Left edge point is active
* Right LED on → Right edge point is active
This determines which side of the device is used when measuring features such as:
* Doors
* Windows
* Stairs
* Wardrobes/Closets
**Tip:**\
Always ensure the correct reference point is selected before placing the device against a surface.
***
### Best Practice
* Move at a steady, controlled pace
* Avoid stopping mid-movement
* Keep LX1 flat and stable when pausing
* Watch either the **app timer bar** or **device LEDs**
* **Aim to pause while still in green**
***
### Key Takeaway
* The app and device show the same timing feedback
* Green = ideal
* Yellow / Amber = act
* Red = urgent
Maintaining a smooth rhythm and pausing within the green window will give the most accurate results.
