- Start playing!
hsk Operation and StatusLEDs
The xvove U2Transmitter has two status LEDs, a red power/ battery LED and a blue channel/ signal indicator LEO. A permanent red LEO Indicates that the power is on, a flashing red LED indicates that the battery needs to be charged. While charging, the red LEO will stop flashing and tum off when the transmitter Is completely charged. When the power Is on, the blue LED will flash to Indicate the set channel. If you use the channel select function, the blue LEO will flash to Indicate the channel:
