Turn Moasure LX1 On and Off
Learn how to turn your Moasure LX1 device on and off.
Moasure 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 Moasure LX1
To turn LX1 on:
Press and hold either button (top or bottom) until 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 Moasure LX1
The device 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 shut down fully and disconnect from the app.
Automatic Power-Off After Inactivity
To preserve battery life, Moasure 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
1 Minute
2 Minutes
5 Minutes
This setting controls how long the device stays connected before powering down when it is no longer actively being used.
If Moasure 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.
