Pods, lights & battery
What do the lights on my pod mean?
A short blue blink every 2 seconds means ready to connect. No light while connected is normal. Two red flashes mean it is going to sleep.
The light on the pod tells you what it is doing. When the pod is connected and recording, the light is off to save battery. That is normal.
Light patterns
| What you see | What it means | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Short blue blink every 2 seconds | The pod is awake and waiting for a connection | Tap Add pod or Connect in the app |
| No light, pod connected in the app | Connected and working | Nothing |
| No light, pod not connected | The pod is asleep, or the battery is empty | Move or shake the pod to wake it. Still nothing? Charge it |
| Double flash in a colour | You tapped Identify (blink) in the app | This is the pod you picked |
| Two red flashes | The pod is going to sleep | Normal after 5 minutes without movement or a connection |
| Red blink every second | The motion sensor inside did not start | Unplug and replug USB, or press the reset button. If it keeps happening, email us |
| Charge light by the USB-C port | The pod is charging | Leave it on the cable until charging finishes |
Identify colours
When you tap Identify (blink), the pod double-flashes in its colour. The app sets the colour from where you wear the pod:
- Red for the left side
- Green for the right side
- Blue for the centre (pelvis, chest)
A pod with no colour set blinks white. Identify needs pod software 0.2 or newer. See Which pod is which?
Still not sure?
- My pod won't wake up or turns off by itself
- My pod doesn't show up in the list
- Something else? Email hello@readmymove.com with a short video of the light.
