Custom Orientation
Battery Life Reporting
Blink Warnings
When an rPOD Micro WallPod is mounted to a wall, it is expected that the device will be mounted plum. However, if the device is placed in a non-plum manner (leaning
forward, leaning backward, or not generally upright), a custom orientation can be set on the device by following the below steps.
The rPODU reports battery life via the ranges listed below. Battery life is captured by a device in the group with modern firmware that is acting as a group monitor
(a device that manages messages within the group).
The below is a list of the rPOD Micro blink warnings.
• Good: 51% or better
• Fair: 26% to 50%
• Poor: 1% to 25%
• Replace: <1%
• Rapid Flash + 1 Blink: the device is not plum and must be placed in an upright position.
• Rapid Flash + 2 Blinks: time within the first minute of the battery being replaced where the device is expecting to be returned to its mounting location.
• Long Flash On/Off: identifies that a device has been power cycled.
• Slow Flash: a device is registering a custom orientation. This flash will last between 5 to 10 seconds.
