does not resume, please use the product in a different location.

When battery output drops to 3.3V or below, the RED LED flashes three times and fades out. At this point, the User should
connect the datAshur SD to a powered USB port and charge for 20-30 minutes. Once recharged, the datAshur SD will resume
normal function.
