Turn Moasure LX1 On and Off

Learn how to turn your Moasure device on and off.

LX1 uses a simple two-button system to power the device on and off.

The buttons sit just below the laser window and have raised tactile markers so they can be identified easily while holding the device.

This page explains how to power LX1 on and off, what LED behaviour to expect, and how automatic power-off works.


Powering On LX1

To turn LX1 on:

• Press and hold either button (top or bottom). • Hold until the LED animation begins. • Release the button once the LEDs activate.

During start-up, the LED bar shows the “awaiting connection” pattern:

  • A single blue LED fades in and out as it moves along the bar

  • This confirms LX1 is powered on and ready to connect to the Moasure app


Powering Off LX1

LX1 can be turned off manually at any time.

To power off:

  • Press both buttons together (top and bottom)

  • This is a quick double button push and release

  • LX1 will turn off

LX1 will shut down fully and disconnect from the app.


Automatic Power-Off After Inactivity

To preserve battery life, LX1 automatically switches off after a period of inactivity.

While you are actively measuring, LX1 remains powered on and connected to the Moasure app, even during longer pauses between placements.

The auto-off interval applies after you finish measuring or leave the measurement screen.

You can adjust this interval in the Moasure app:

Settings (Cog Wheel) → Measuring Options → Moasure Device Disconnection

Available options include:

  • 30 seconds

  • One Minute

  • Two Minutes

  • Five Minutes

This setting controls how long LX1 stays connected before powering down when it is no longer actively being used.


If LX1 Does Not Power On

If nothing happens when pressing a button:

  • Charge LX1 — a depleted battery is the most common cause

  • Hold the button slightly longer — some firmware versions require a longer press

  • Try powering on while plugged in if the battery is fully depleted

  • Check the USB-C port for debris or loose cable connection.

When charging, the LEDs display the standard charging pattern.


LED Behaviour When Powered On

Awaiting connection (normal) • Blue LED moves along the bar, fading in and out.

Awaiting connection (low battery) • Blue LED brightens, turns red briefly, then fades as it moves.

Full LED explanations are covered in the LED Indicators section.
