USING THE BATTERY MONITOR

The monitor operates in low power mode most of the time, to avoid drawing excessive energy from the battery. At predetermined time intervals, it wakes to send a battery status signal to the Cloud.
When the monitor wakes, the blue CONNECTED LED will flash while it tries to connect to the wireless signal. When the connection is successful, the LED will light solid for the reminder of the wake time.
