Power/Status LED

Displays the status of the B050-000:

LED off: the B050-000 has no or not enough power

LED blinking: the B050-000 is booting up (if this process takes longer than one minute, the reason may be a lack of power).

LED on: the B050-000 is up and running.

If the B050-000 is connected via USB only and the Power/Status LED tends not to stop blinking after one minute, the B050-000 may not receive enough power via USB. In that case attach the enclosed power supply to the B050-000.
