LEDs will light sequentially, release only when the GREEN LED only is lighted. If the device
failed to start the 4 LEDs blink together, in this case repeat the operation.
Once started, the GREEN LED will blink every 2 seconds, for the first 30 minutes.

blinking.
After this phase, if you want to read the device status press briefly any of the two buttons (see
the section Understanding the LEDs indicators).
