gerry the cat

Can anyone explain what the green flashing LED on my iPaq means? I am not quite sure wheter it was the lower or the middle one. But it didn´t flash in yellow but in green. And it didn´t stop flashing after turning the iPaq of.

Thank you in advance,
Gerald

Flashing green means you have a reminder or alarm that has come due.

Show how much I use mine as a PDA... I didnt even know it had a green LED.

I think it only blinks green if you have a reminder and the unit is powered off. If it's powered up then I believe the reminder screen comes up instead of the LED.

It depends on how you have the notifications set up (under Start, Settings, Sounds & Notifications, Notifications (tab), then pull down the list to Reminders and other events.

It's actually a good idea to turn off that flash, or set the time limit fairly short, since it uses quite a bit of battery power to have the light flash for a long time.

On my hx4700 the green light flashes when I make a GPRS connection with my mobile through IrDA. The manual sad, that a notification event has occured. May be, but I'm sure, it's not a reminder or an alarm.

Yes, ikehiker, you're right. Flashing was set for my PDA under Settings->Notification->Beam. I've just forgot that.

Quite a lot of power is used by that LED? What are you smoking? ;p

All I know is poeple that have allowed it to flash continuously have had their PPC hard reset thanks to a battery drain. Feel free to ignore it if you want.
