They help you understand: * When LX1 is ready for you to move * When to pause * When LX1 is waiting for you to hold the device still * When a point has been successfully captured * Which reference point is active The LEDs work alongside the timer bar in the Moasure app to provide clear feedback as you measure. {% 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 a quick guide to the main LED states you’ll see while measuring. {% hint style="info" %} LX1 has one active Reference Point, which can be switched between the left and right sides of the device. {% endhint %}

LED state	What it means	What to do
Solid green	Point captured – ready to move	Continue measuring
Flashing green	Moving – within the recommended timing window	Continue moving smoothly
Flashing yellow / amber	Pause soon	Find a suitable place to pause
Flashing red	Pause now	Pause as soon as possible
Solid red on both sides	Waiting for LX1 to capture the point	Keep LX1 completely still

{% hint style="info" %} **Tip:** While you’re moving, the timing indication is shown on the side of LX1 corresponding to the **active** [**reference point**](/en/moasure-lx1/your-moasure-lx1-device/reference-point-left-right.md). {% endhint %} *** ## How the LEDs Guide You While Measuring LX1 has one active Reference Point. This can be switched between the left and right sides of the device using the arrow button. The images below show the LED patterns with the Reference Point active on either side. ### 🟢 Ready to Move Once a point has been successfully captured, the LEDs change to **solid green**. This confirms that the point has been recorded and LX1 is ready for you to continue. **What to do:**\ Move towards your next placement.

*** ### 🟢 Moving As you move LX1 towards your next placement, the LED on the side of the active Reference Point flashes green. The Reference Point can be switched between the left and right sides of LX1. This indicates that you’re within the recommended movement time. The timer bar in the app will also be in the green zone. **What to do:**\ Continue moving at a steady, controlled pace.

{% hint style="info" %} **For best accuracy:** Aim to reach your next placement or make an intermediate pause while the timer bar is still green (up to 9 seconds). {% endhint %} *** ### 🟡 Pause Soon As your movement time increases, the LED indication changes to **flashing yellow / amber**. The timer bar in the app will also move into the yellow / amber zone. This is your warning that you should find a suitable place to pause. **What to do:**\ Pause as soon as it is safe and practical to do so.

*** ### 🔴 Pause Now If you continue moving, the LED on the active reference-point side will begin **flashing red**. The timer bar in the app will also turn red. This means the recommended movement time has been exceeded. **What to do:**\ Pause immediately.

{% hint style="info" %} Continuing to move after the timing indicator turns red can affect measurement accuracy. Aim to pause before the end of the yellow / amber zone {% endhint %} *** ## What Happens When You Pause ### 🔴 Keep LX1 Still When you place LX1 against a surface, **solid red LEDs on both sides** indicate that LX1 needs to remain completely still while the point is being captured. **What to do:**\ Keep LX1 completely still and avoid adjusting or moving it. Wait until the LEDs turn green before moving again.

*** ### 🟢 Point Captured Once LX1 is completely still and the point has been successfully captured, the LEDs change to **solid green**. This confirms that the placement has been recorded. **What to do:**\ Continue measuring towards your next point.

*** ## The App Timer Bar The timer bar in the Moasure app works alongside the LEDs on LX1. As you move between placements, the timer bar progresses through the same timing stages: **Green (up to 9 seconds) → Yellow / Amber (9 to 12 seconds) → Red** You can use either the timer bar in the app or the LEDs on LX1 to judge when you should pause. For the best measurement accuracy, aim to make your placements or intermediate pauses while the timer remains in the **green zone**.

*** ## Active Reference Point LX1 has a reference point that can be switched between the **left and right sides** of the device. While you’re moving, the LED on the side of the **active reference point** provides the timing feedback. * **Reference Point switched to the left** → timing feedback appears on the left * **Reference Point switched to the right** → timing feedback appears on the right You can switch the **Reference Point** from one side of LX1 to the other using the arrow button. This is particularly useful when measuring features such as doors, windows and stairs, where you may need the reference point to correspond with the edge you’re measuring. *** ## Other LED Indicators LX1 also uses its LEDs to communicate other device states, including battery level, charging and faults. ### Battery Level LX1 uses different LED patterns to indicate its remaining battery level.

*** ### Charging When LX1 is connected to a power source, its LEDs indicate the current charging status.

*** ## Best Practice For the best results when measuring with LX1: * Move at a steady, controlled pace * Aim to reach your next placement while the timing feedback is still green * If the LEDs indicate **Pause Soon**, find a suitable place to pause * If they indicate **Pause Now**, pause immediately * If an obstacle means you can’t reach the next placement within around **9 seconds**, place LX1 on a suitable stable, horizontal surface with the **LEDs facing upwards** * Let go of LX1 and allow it to remain completely still. Once the point has been captured, it will be treated as an ignored pause point, so nothing is added to your floor plan. * Once captured, pick LX1 back up and continue measuring * Place LX1 smoothly against each measuring surface * Keep LX1 completely still while each point is captured * Wait for the green confirmation before moving again *** ## Key Takeaway The LEDs on LX1 and the timer bar in the app provide the same essential timing guidance: **Green = ideal timing / keep moving**\ **Yellow / Amber = pause soon**\ **Red flashing = pause now**\ **Solid red on both sides = keep LX1 still**\ **Solid green = point captured and ready to move** If you can’t reach your next measuring position in time, **don’t rush**. Make an intermediate pause on a stable, horizontal surface with the LEDs facing upwards, wait for the point to be captured, then continue. This helps you maintain a smooth measuring rhythm and achieve the best possible accuracy. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.moasure.com/en/moasure-lx1/your-moasure-lx1-device/led-indicators.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
