LED Indications
Three LEDs indicate the status of the device and its components - LINK, Positioning (GNSS) and SCAN.
- LINK Indicates whether the device is connected to the cloud via the mobile network or linked to a Dronetag account.
- GNSS Indicates the current GNSS state.
- SCAN Shows whether the device is ready to scan for Remote ID signals.
Device States
Possible states are the following:
If you have LTE connectivity enabled, you have to activate your device when using it for the first time.
Connect to the device via Bluetooth using the Dronetag App or wait 10 minutes while the device is powered on. Waiting for 10 minutes works only if your RIDER is registered to your Dronetag account and you have an active subscription.
One or more LEDs are blinking yellow.
Yellow means that the pulsing component is not ready for scanning. Wait for all three to turn green, meaning the device is ready to scan. In cases of poor signal, move to an area with better coverage.
Component LED blinking red when the power button is pressed.
Blinking RED on LINK means RIDER is not registered to any account or has no active data bundle and is out of data.
All indicators are green lit.
In this state, the device is ready for scanning. Do the short press of the Power Button to start scanning.
In this state, the device is starting or stopping scanning.
Flashing white on all LED indicators.
In this state, the device scans Remote ID data in the area.
Device detected drone in scanned area. Device also alerts with a sound alarm (when enabled by user).
Once you notice an alert, you can see the drone's position and the pilot's location (or take-off position) in the app.
One or more indicators are pulsing yellow while scanning.
One or more indicators are lit red.
Hard reset the device by a long press of the Power Button.
In this state, the device is powering off.
LEDs pulse blue sequentially (first, second, then third) to indicate the charging progress.
The number of non-pulsing LEDs shows the current battery charge. E.g. 50% charged, 1 solid and 1 pulsing blue LEDs, 100% charged = 3 solid blue LEDs. Battery charge can be briefly checked by short pressing the Power Button once while turned off.
RIDER is updating its firmware or in hard reset mode.
This state follows after an extra-long press of the Power Button and Action Button.
When pressing both the action and power button for about 20 seconds, a countdown to factory reset will be started. To perform a factory reset, keep pressing both buttons until all LEDs are off and the RGB animation is started.
RGB animation running when performing firmware update or resetting to factory default settings.
