ATTENTION!
Measuring directly on the line voltage can be very dangerous.
The outside of the BNC connectors at the WiFiScope WS6 are connected with
the ground of the computer. Use a good isolation transformer or a differential
probe when measuring at the line voltage or at grounded power supplies! A
short-circuit current will flow if the ground of the WiFiScope WS6 is connected
to a positive voltage. This short-circuit current can damage both the WiFiScope
WS6 and the computer.

Wireless measuring has now become a reality with the WiFiScope WS6. If a large
distance needs to be bridged between the measuring instrument and the PC, the
WiFiScope WS6 is the solution for this. Fast measurements and high speed data
acquisition are now possible wherever the WiFiScope WS6 is located in the world.
• Because the WiFiScope WS6 is battery-powered, it can be used stand-alone
for a long time.
• For measurements in hazardous situations or places where it is not acces-
sible to people for long, the WiFiScope WS6 offers the solution.
• A connection via WiFi or Network (LAN or WAN with possibly POE) gives the
user the possibility to place the measuring instrument where this was previously not possible.
• Collecting and viewing measurement data from different locations on a PC /
Laptop is now a possibility because the software supports more WiFiScopes
at the same time.
• With the very extensive software package, most measurements can be per-
formed.
• A large library of presets is available so that a novice user can immediately
perform advanced measurements with a few mouse clicks.
• The WiFiScope WS6 has 4 input channels with a maximum sampling rate of
1 GSa/s and a bandwidth of 250 MHz.
• With a WiFi connection, the WiFiScope WS6 is no longer directly connected
to the PC or laptop and short circuits are excluded, this eliminates the fear
that something will happen to the PC or Laptop.
• A big advantage of the WiFiScopes is that no ground loops can occur. In
traditional measurement systems, ground loops give many problems, resulting in unreliable measurement results. With the WiFiScope, because of
the absence of ground loops, long distance remote measurements are possible without the results being influenced by ground loops. Also on short
distances the absence of ground loops is important for performing reliable
measurements. The WiFiScope prevents ground loops from forming so that
the measurement speed and resolution are not affected and the measurements remain reliable.
• Integrating the WiFiScope WS6 in your own software environment is sup-
ported by an API with examples so that the WiFiScope WS6 can be widely
used
• Thanks to a very good hardware structure and advanced software drivers,
the WiFiScope WS6 is suitable for high speed data acquisition up to speeds
of 5 MSa/s and measurements up to 1 GSa/s with a record length of 256
MSamples of memory per channel with a resolution of 12 to 16 bit.

When working with electricity, no instrument can guarantee complete safety.
It is the responsibility of the person who works with the instrument to operate it in a safe way. Maximum security is achieved by selecting the proper
instruments and following safe working procedures. Safe working tips are
given below:
• Always work according (local) regulations.
• Work on installations with voltages higher than 25 VACor 60 VDCshould only
be performed by qualified personnel.
• Avoid working alone.
• Observe all indications on the WiFiScope WS6 before connecting any wiring
• Check the probes/test leads for damages. Do not use them if they are dam-
aged
• Take care when measuring at voltages higher than 25 VACor 60 VDC.
• Do not operate the equipment in an explosive atmosphere or in the pres-
ence of flammable gases or fumes.
• Do not use the equipment if it does not operate properly. Have the equip-
ment inspected by qualified service personal. If necessary, return the equipment to TiePie engineering for service and repair to ensure that safety features are maintained.
• Measuring directly on the line voltage can be very dangerous. The out-
side of the BNC connectors at the WiFiScope WS6 are connected with the
ground of the computer. Use a good isolation transformer or a differential
probe when measuring at the line voltage or at grounded power supplies!
A short-circuit current will flow if the ground of the WiFiScope WS6 is connected to a positive voltage. This short-circuit current can damage both the
WiFiScope WS6 and the computer.

Production of the WiFiScope WS6 required the extraction and use of
natural resources. The equipment may contain substances that could
be harmful to the environment or human health if improperly handled
at the WiFiScope WS6’s end of life.
In order to avoid release of such substances into the environment and to reduce
the use of natural resources, recycle the WiFiScope WS6 in an appropriate system
that will ensure that most of the materials are reused or recycled appropriately.
The shown symbol indicates that the WiFiScope WS6 complies with the European
Union’s requirements according to Directive 2002/96/EC on waste electrical and
electronic equipment (WEEE).

Introduction

Before using the WiFiScope WS6 first read chapter 2 about safety.
Many technicians investigate electrical signals. Though the measurement may not
be electrical, the physical variable is often converted to an electrical signal, with
a special transducer. Common transducers are accelerometers, pressure probes,
current clamps and temperature probes. The advantages of converting the physical parameters to electrical signals are large, since many instruments for examining electrical signals are available.
The WiFiScope WS6 is a portable four channel measuring instrument with single
ended inputs. It can be connected to the computer via USB, wired ethernet and
WiFi. When used via WiFi, the WiFiScope WS6 can be connected to an existing WiFi
network or can act as access point to create its own WiFi network.
The WiFiScope WS6 is equipped with a built-in battery for wireless operation, but
can also be powered by an external power supply (incluced in the package) or via
the USB interface.
It is available in several models with different maximum sampling rates. The native
resolutions are 8, 12 and 14 bits and a user selectable resolution of 16 bits is
available too, with adjusted maximum sampling rates:

via its USB interface. When used as wired network instrument, maximum streaming rates may be lower, depending on network speed and load. When used via WiFi,
maximum streaming rates will be lower and will depend on WiFi signal strength,
distance to access point and network load.
The WiFiScope WS6 is available with two memory configurations, these are:

Table 4.3: Maximum record lengths per channel
Optionally available for the WiFiScope WS6 is SureConnect connection
test. SureConnect connection test tells you immediately whether your
test probe or clip actually makes electrical contact or not. No more doubt whether
your probe doesn’t make contact or there really is no signal. This is useful when
surfaces are oxidized and your probe cannot get a good electrical contact. Simply
activate the SureConnect and you know whether there is contact or not. Also when
back probing connectors in confined places, SureConnect immediately shows whether
the probes make contact or not.
Models of the WiFiScope WS6 with SureConnect come with resistance
measurement on all channels. Resistances up to 2 MOhm can be measured directly. Resistance can be shown in meter displays and can also be plotted
versus time in a graph, creating an Ohm scope.
With the accompanying software the WiFiScope WS6 can be used as an oscilloscope, a spectrum analyzer, a true RMS voltmeter or a transient recorder. All instruments measure by sampling the input signals, digitizing the values, process
them, save them and display them.
4.1 Sampling
When sampling the input signal, samples are taken at fixed intervals. At these intervals, the size of the input signal is converted to a number. The accuracy of this
number depends on the resolution of the instrument. The higher the resolution,
the smaller the voltage steps in which the input range of the instrument is divided.
The acquired numbers can be used for various purposes, e.g. to create a graph.
Figure 4.1: Sampling
The sine wave in figure 4.1 is sampled at the dot positions. By connecting the
adjacent samples, the original signal can be reconstructed from the samples. You
can see the result in figure 4.2.
Introduction 9
4.2 Sampling rate
The rate at which the samples are taken is called the sampling rate, the number
of samples per second. A higher sampling rate corresponds to a shorter interval
between the samples. As is visible in figure 4.3, with a higher sampling rate, the
original signal can be reconstructed much better from the measured samples.
The sampling rate must be higher than 2 times the highest frequency in the input
signal. This is called the Nyquist frequency. Theoretically it is possible to reconstruct the input signal with more than 2 samples per period. In practice, 10 to
20 samples per period are recommended to be able to examine the signal thoroughly.
4.2.1 Aliasing
When sampling an analog signal with a certain sampling rate, signals appear in the
output with frequencies equal to the sum and difference of the signal frequency
and multiples of the sampling rate. For example, when the sampling rate is 1000
Sa/s and the signal frequency is 1250 Hz, the following signal frequencies will be
present in the output data:
Figure 4.2: ”connecting” the samples
Figure 4.3: The effect of the sampling rate
10 Chapter 4
Multiple of sampling rate 1250 Hz signal -1250 Hz signal
...
-1000 -1000 + 1250 = 250 -1000 - 1250 = -2250
0 0 + 1250 = 1250 0 - 1250 = -1250
1000 1000 + 1250 = 2250 1000 - 1250 = -250
2000 2000 + 1250 = 3250 2000 - 1250 = 750
...
Table 4.4: Aliasing
As stated before, when sampling a signal, only frequencies lower than half the
sampling rate can be reconstructed. In this case the sampling rate is 1000 Sa/s,
so we can we only observe signals with a frequency ranging from 0 to 500 Hz. This
means that from the resulting frequencies in the table, we can only see the 250
Hz signal in the sampled data. This signal is called an alias of the original signal.
If the sampling rate is lower than twice the frequency of the input signal, aliasing
will occur. The following illustration shows what happens.
Figure 4.4: Aliasing
In figure 4.4, the green input signal (top) is a triangular signal with a frequency of
1.25 kHz. The signal is sampled with a rate of 1 kSa/s. The corresponding sampling interval is 1/1000Hz = 1ms. The positions at which the signal is sampled are
depicted with the blue dots. The red dotted signal (bottom) is the result of the reconstruction. The period time of this triangular signal appears to be 4 ms, which
corresponds to an apparent frequency (alias) of 250 Hz (1.25 kHz - 1 kHz).
To avoid aliasing, always start measuring at the highest sampling rate and
lower the sampling rate if required.
Introduction 11
4.3 Digitizing
When digitizing the samples, the voltage at each sample time is converted to a
number. This is done by comparing the voltage with a number of levels. The resulting number is the number corresponding to the level that is closest to the
voltage. The number of levels is determined by the resolution, according to the
following relation: LevelCount = 2
The higher the resolution, the more levels are available and the more accurate
the input signal can be reconstructed. In figure 4.5, the same signal is digitized,
using two different amounts of levels: 16 (4-bit) and 64 (6-bit).
Figure 4.5: The effect of the resolution
The WiFiScope WS6 measures at e.g. 14 bit resolution (214=16384 levels). The
smallest detectable voltage step depends on the input range. This voltage can
be calculated as:
Resolution
.
V oltag eStep = F ullI nputRange/LevelC ount
For example, the 200 mV range ranges from -200 mV to +200 mV, therefore the
full range is 400 mV. This results in a smallest detectable voltage step of 0.400 V /
16384 = 24.41 µV.
4.4 Signal coupling
The WiFiScope WS6 has two different settings for the signal coupling: AC and DC.
In the setting DC, the signal is directly coupled to the input circuit. All signal components available in the input signal will arrive at the input circuit and will be measured.
In the setting AC, a capacitor will be placed between the input connector and the
input circuit. This capacitor will block all DC components of the input signal and
let all AC components pass through. This can be used to remove a large DC component of the input signal, to be able to measure a small AC component at high
resolution.
12 Chapter 4
When measuring DC signals, make sure to set the signal coupling of the
input to DC.
4.5 Probe compensation
The WiFiScope WS6 is shipped with a probe for each input channel. These are
1x/10x selectable passive probes. This means that the input signal is passed through
directly or 10 times attenuated.
When using an oscilloscope probe in 1:1 the setting, the bandwidth of the
probe is only 6 MHz. The full bandwidth of the probe is only obtained in
the 1:10 setting
The x10 attenuation is achieved by means of an attenuation network. This attenuation network has to be adjusted to the oscilloscope input circuitry, to guarantee frequency independency. This is called the low frequency compensation. Each
time a probe is used on an other channel or an other oscilloscope, the probe must
be adjusted.
Therefore the probe is equiped with a setscrew, with which the parallel capacity of
the attenuation network can be altered. To adjust the probe, switch the probe to
the x10 and attach the probe to a 1 kHz square wave signal. Then adjust the probe
for a square front corner on the square wave displayed. See also the following
illustrations.

Driver installation
Before connecting the WiFiScope WS6 to the computer via USB, the
drivers need to be installed.
5.1 Introduction
To operate a WiFiScope WS6 via USB, a driver is required to interface between the
measurement software and the instrument. This driver takes care of the low level
communication between the computer and the instrument, through USB. When
the driver is not installed, or an old, no longer compatible version of the driver is
installed, the software will not be able to operate the WiFiScope WS6 properly or
even detect it at all.
The installation of the USB driver is done in a few steps. Firstly, the driver has to
be pre-installed by the driver setup program. This makes sure that all required
files are located where Windows can find them. When the instrument is plugged
in, Windows will detect new hardware and install the required drivers.
5.2 Where to find the driver setup
The driver setup program and measurement software can be found in the download section on TiePie engineering’s website and on the CD-ROM that came with
the instrument. It is recommended to install the latest version of the software and
USB driver from the website. This will guarantee the latest features are included.
5.3 Executing the installation utility
To start the driver installation, execute the downloaded driver setup program, or
the one on the CD-ROM that came with the instrument. The driver install utility
can be used for a first time installation of a driver on a system and also to update
an existing driver.
The screen shots in this description may differ from the ones displayed on your
computer, depending on the Windows version.

Driver installation 15
Figure 5.1: Driver install: step 1
When drivers were already installed, the install utility will remove them before installing the new driver. To remove the old driver successfully, it is essential that
the WiFiScope WS6 is disconnected from the computer prior to starting the driver
install utility. When the WiFiScope WS6 is used with an external power supply, this
must be disconnected too.
Clicking ”Install” will remove existing drivers and install the new driver. A remove
entry for the new driver is added to the software applet in the Windows control
panel.

6.1 Power the instrument
The WiFiScope WS6 can be powered in three different ways:
• by its built-in battery
• via an external power adapter, connected to the dedicated power input at
the rear panel
• via the USB interface
When using the WiFiScope WS6 via its battery, no external power is required. The
power consumption of the WiFiScope WS6 depends heavily on the settings of the
instrument, when using higher sampling rates the instrument uses more power.
Also when using larger record lengths, the power consumption increases. It is
therefore not possible to give an exact operating time when running on its battery.
When the battery is charged, the Battery indicator on the front panel will light up
green.
6
When the battery level becomes low, the Battery indicator on the front panel will
light up red.
It is recommended to recharge the battery. When the Battery indicator starts
blinking red, the battery is almost empty and immediate recharging is required.
An indicator in the software will show the battery status and an estimation of the
remaining operating time.
Hardware installation 19
6.1.1 Charging the battery
Charging the battery is done by connecting the external power supply or by connecting the USB. When the battery is charging, the Battery indicator on the front
panel will light up blue.
When connected to USB or external power, the battery will only be charged when
the USB or external power can deliver enough power to operate the instrument
and to charge the battery. When not enough power is available, the battery will
be discharged. This is indicated by a blue blinking Battery indicator on the front
panel of the instrument.
6.1.2 Long term storage
When storing the WiFiScope WS6 for a long time, it is recommended to first charge
the battery to approximately 70 %. Do not store the WiFiScope WS6 for a long time
with an empty battery or 100 % fully charged battery, as this may reduce battery
capacity.
20 Chapter 6
6.2 Instrument operation mode
The WiFiScope WS6 has a USB interface and a network interface, used to connect
to the instrument via LAN or WiFi. The Power/Mode button at the front panel determines if the WiFiScope WS6 operates as USB instrument or as network (LAN
or WiFi) instrument. The light in the Power/Mode button indicates in which mode
the WiFiScope WS6 operates. When it is on, the network interface is enabled and
the instrument operates as newtwork (LAN or WiFi) instrument. When it is off, the
network interface is disabled and the WiFiScope WS6 operates as USB instrument.
Power/Mode button light off: The
WiFiScope WS6 can only be used via
USB
When the network interface of the WiFiScope WS6is disabled, it will go to a low
power state, to save the battery. To enable it again, a short press on the Power/Mode
button is required.
When the WiFiScope WS6 is not connected to external power or USB and is not
used for two days (network interface disabled), the WiFiScope WS6 switches to
”Shipping mode”, where the network interface is consuming no power at all. To
wake up the WiFiScope WS6 from shipping mode, press the Power/Mode button
for 2 seconds. When arriving from the factory, the WiFiScope WS6 will be in shipping mode.
When for some reason the network interface will not disable (the lights remain on),
pressing the Power/Mode button for 3 seconds will force the network interface to
be disabled.
Power/Mode button light on: The
WiFiScope WS6 can only be used via
LAN or Wifi
Hardware installation 21
6.3 Connect via LAN
To use the WiFiScope WS6 via the LAN, connect the WiFiScope WS6 LAN port on
the rear panel to the LAN via a network cable.
The WiFiScope WS6 network interface must be enabled via the Power/Mode button on the front panel of the instrument. While the network interface is initializing,
the Power/Mode button will blink, when the initialization is finished, the Power/Mode
button will light up continuously.
When the LAN cable is connected, the LAN interface will attempt to get an address via DHCP. When that is sucessful, the LAN indicator on the front panel of
the instrument will light up green.
When afer 20 seconds no DHCP is found, the network interface will switch to linklocal mode and use a link-local address. The LAN indicator on the front panel of the
instrument will light up blue to indicate link-local mode. Link-local mode remains
active until the LAN cable is removed and the LAN LED goes off. When the LAN
cable is then reconnected, getting an address via DHCP is attempted again.
In the Multi Channel software, open the Manage instruments dialog and check
Seach instruments in local network.
When searching the network is checked, the WiFiScope WS6 will appear. To connect the software to the WiFiScope WS6 check it and close the dialog with the OK
button.
22 Chapter 6
6.4 Connect via WiFi
There are several different ways to connect the computer to the WiFiScope WS6
via WiFi, depending on whether the computer/laptop has WiFi or not.
6.4.1 The computer/laptop has WiFi
To use the WiFiScope WS6 via Wifi, the network interface must be enabled via
the Power/Mode button on the front panel of the instrument. While the network
interface is initializing, the Power/Mode button will blink, when the initialization is
finished, the Power/Mode button will light continuously.
When the computer does have WiFi, there are two different ways to connect to
the instrument via WiFi.
Connect the WiFiScope WS6 to the local WiFi network
1. In the Multi Channel software open the Manage instruments dialog and
check Seach instruments in local network.
2. Place a check in front of the detected WiFiScope WS6. It may take a few
seconds to discover the instrument.
3. The software will now ask how to connect to the WiFiScope WS6, select Add
WifiScope to the ’WiFi’ network..
4. The connection is now set up, if required, the software will ask for the net-
work password. The setup may take up to 30 seconds.
The WiFiScope WS6 is now connected to the local network via WiFi.
Hardware installation 23
Connect to the WiFiScope WS6 directly using WiFi
1. In the Multi Channel software open the Manage instruments dialog and
check Seach instruments in local network.
2. Place a check in front of the detected WiFiScope WS6. It may take a few
seconds to discover the instrument.
3. If the computer is currently connected to a WiFi network, the software will
ask how to connect to the WiFiScope WS6, select Add WifiScope to the
’WiFi’ network..
4. The connection is now set up, if required, the software will ask for the net-
work password. The setup may take up to 30 seconds.
The WiFiScope WS6 is now setup as Access Point, to create its own WiFi network.
The computer is disconnected from the local Wifi network and connected to the
WiFiScope WS6 WiFi network. The computer will now no longer have internet access and/or access to network locations.
6.4.2 The computer/laptop has NO WiFi
When the computer has no WiFi, the WiFiScope WS6 will have to be connected to
the local network. Therefore, the network interface of the WiFiScope WS6 must be
enabled via the Power/Mode button on the front panel of the instrument. While
the network interface is initializing, the Power/Mode button will blink, when the
initialization is finished, the Power/Mode button will light continuously.
24 Chapter 6
1. Connect the WiFiScope WS6 via a cable to the LAN as shown in the section

seconds to discover the instrument.
4. Click the WiFi button in the istruments manager to open the WiFiScope WS6
web interface.
5. Login to the web interface (default password = tiepie).
6. In the web interface, connect to the WiFi network using the connect button
(and enter its password if required)
7. When successfully connected, close the web interface and disconnect the
LAN cable.
8. The Multi Channel software will now detect the WiFiScope WS6 via WiFi, this
may take a few seconds.
Hardware installation 25
6.5 Connect via USB
To use the WiFiScope WS6 via USB, connect the WiFiScope WS6 USB port on the
rear panel to the computer via a USB cable.
When using the instrument via USB, the network interface must disabled via the
Power/Mode button on the front panel of the instrument.
When a USB connection is established, this is indicated by a green lit USB indicator
on the front panel of the instrument.
The software can now connect to the WiFiScope WS6 as local instrument.
6.5.1 Plug into a different USB port
When the WiFiScope WS6 is plugged into a different USB port, some Windows versions will treat the WiFiScope WS6 as different hardware and will install the drivers
again for that port. This is controlled by Microsoft Windows and is not caused by
TiePie engineering.
6.6 Operating conditions
The WiFiScope WS6 is ready for use as soon as the software is started. However,
to achieve rated accuracy, allow the instrument to settle for 20 minutes. If the
instrument has been subjected to extreme temperatures, allow additional time
for internal temperatures to stabilize. Because of temperature compensated calibration, the WiFiScope WS6 will settle within specified accuracy regardless of the
surrounding temperature.
26 Chapter 6
Combining instruments
7
When more channels are required than one instrument can offer, multiple instruments can be combined into a larger combined instrument. To combine two or
more instruments, the instruments need to be connected to each other using
special cables.
Combining instruments is only available when the WiFiScope WS6 is connected to the computer via the USB. When used as network instrument
(LAN or WiFi), combining is not possible.
The CMI (Combine Multiple Instruments) interface that is available by default on
the WiFiScope WS6 provides an easy way to couple multiple oscilloscopes to one
combined oscilloscope.
Figure 7.1: CMI diagram
The CMI interface supports automatic recognition of the instrument. The high
speed trigger bus is automatically terminated with the correct impedance and
the high speed sampling bus is automatically configured and terminated at the
beginning and end of the bus. The high speed sampling bus takes care that each
Handyscope is fully synchronized to ensure that even at the highest sampling rate
the instruments operate at the same sample clock (0 ppm clock error!). The connection order when combining multiple instruments is not important. The CMI interface has built-in intelligence to detect the connections and terminate all buses
properly at both ends of the bus. So instruments can be connected to each other
in random order. Placing terminators and determining the proper connection order is not required!
Advantages of the CMI (Combine Multiple Instruments) interface are:
• automatic instrument recognition,
• automatic creation and termination of the high speed trigger bus,
• automatic creation and termination of the high speed sampling bus,
• automatic master/slave setting of the sampling clock bus.
Combining instruments 27
Figure 7.2: CMI connectors
Connecting is done by daisy chaining the CMI connectors of the instruments prior
to starting the software, using special coupling cables (order number TP-C50H).
The software will detect how the instruments are connected to each other and
will automatically terminate the connection bus. The software will combine the
connected instruments to one large instrument. The combined instruments will
sample using the same clock, with a deviation of 0 ppm.
Figure 7.3: 2 WiFiScope WS6s combined
A 20 channel instrument is easily made by connecting five WiFiScope WS6s to each
other.
When combining one or more WiFiScope WS6 s with Handyscope HS5 s and/or
WiFiScope WS5s, the daisy chained CMI bus must begin or end with a WiFiScope
WS6. Additionally, the maximum sampling rate is limited to 100 MSa/s at 14 bit
resolution.

8.1 Channel input connectors
The CH1 – CH4 BNC connectors are the main inputs of the acquisition system. The
outside of the BNC connectors is connected to the ground of the WiFiScope WS6.
Connecting the outside of the BNC connector to a potential other than ground
will result in a short circuit that may damage the device under test, the WiFiScope
WS6 and the computer.
8.2 Power/Mode button
The Power/Mode button is situated at the right of the front of the instrument. It
is used to switch the mode of the WiFiScope WS6 between USB use and LAN or
WiFi use. To use the WiFiScope WS6 via LAN or WiFi, the network interface must
be enabled, by pressing the Power/Mode button. During initializing the network
interface, the Power/Mode button will blink green. When initialization is finished,
the indicator in the button will be lit continuously green.
When using the WiFiScope WS6 via USB, the network interface must be disabled,
by pressing the Power/Mode button again. The light in the button will go off.
8.3 Status indicators
The WiFiScope WS6 has a number of status indicators, which can be lit to indicate
the status of the instrument.
8.3.1 Status
The status light indicates whether the WiFiScope WS6 is being used by software
or is not in use.

nection to an existing network.
• When lit continuously green, the WiFiScope WS6 has established a connec-
tion to an existing WiFi network and has received a network address via
DHCP.
• When lit continuously blue, the WiFiScope WS6 acts as WiFi access point.
Connect the computer via WiFi to the network that the WiFiScope WS6 creates.
• When lit continuously green, the battery is full, while the extenal power is
still connected. When external power is not connected, the battery is being
discharged, its level is higher than 5
• When lit continuously blue, the battery is charging.
• When blinking blue, external power or USB power is connected, but cannot
deliver enough power to charge the battery.
• When lit continuously red, the battery level is below 5 %, charging is recom-
mended.
• When blinking red, the battery level is below 2 %, immediate charging is re-
quired.
