LED signals
The Danapad uses different LED signals to show its status during various processes. You can use the table below to see what each signal means.
| LED signal | Color | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Long green blink | ━━ | Power on. Batteries are activated. |
| Red blink | — | Operation canceled/failed. |
| Green blink | — | Successful operation. |
| Solid orange light | ━━ | Device is ready to update. |
| Solid green light while in progress | — | Device is updating. |
Below, you can see the LED signal during Danapad operations.
| LED signal | Color | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Display lights up green | — | Batteries are inserted. |
| Display blinks red once | — | Timeout: No input for 10 seconds. |
| Display blinks red three times | ——— | Five invalid PIN attempts will cause a 2 minute lockout. |
| Display blinks red once | — | The entered PIN is invalid. |
Note: LED signals can mean different things depending on the situation, so make sure to check the context. For example, if the lock blinks red, it might mean the PIN code was entered incorrectly, that it timed out after 10 seconds without input, or that the connection between the Danapad and Danalock V3 was lost. If this happens, try entering your PIN code again without pausing while you type it in.
What should I do if my Danapad shows a solid orange light?
If your Danapad and phone are interrupted during the firmware update, your Danapad can get stuck in DFU mode. You can identify the issue if the Danapad shows a solid orange light. If the Danapad is stuck in DFU mode, you need to run a manual firmware update in the Danalock Toolbox app.
