After another 17 percent has been transferred, the Off button lights to maximum brightness also and remains lit. After each increment of 17 percent of the data has been transferred, the next button in clockwise order lights brightly. When a button becomes permanently lit, the remaining buttons continue to blink in clockwise rotation, until the transfer process is complete and all buttons are remain steadily lit.

When the transfer is complete, all buttons on each unit remain brightly lit until a button is pressed on the unit.
