- Flashing red indicates that the E4's memory is full or the clock is unset, preventing you from operating the device in Memory Mode. You can still connect to the E4 from the E4 Realtime app on your smartphone/tablet.
- Flashing yellow LED lights indicate that the E4 has a low battery and should be charged soon.
