WellPD wearable LED Guide

The LED on your WellPD wearable provides quick information about the device’s status. To check the current condition at any time, press the button once — the LED will show the status immediately. Note that for critical issues, the LED may also blink automatically without pressing the button.

Please note that the LED is normally turned off to preserve battery life — this does not indicate any issue.

Below is a guide to help you understand what each LED color and pattern means.
