3. Status LEDs and Origin Status
Origin has LEDs to provide “status-at-a-glance” functionality
outside of the app, which allows you to check Origin by looking
at its lighting pattern. The status LEDs help you understand
what Origin is doing and assist with troubleshooting.
Status LED Ring
You’ll find the Status LED Ring on the back of Origin’s rear
cell (Figure 8). The ring has eight individual segments and
provides “status-at-a-glance” functionality. The status LED
ring can also indicate if there is a problem.
