Mevo Start: LED Status Indicator Meanings

The Mevo Start LED indicators on the camera can give you valuable information about what is happening with your camera. 

Solid: Means LED continuously on
Blink: Means LED alternates 500ms on, 500ms off
Pulse: Is a “breathing” effect, the LED slowly dims to 0%, then back to 100%

**The images here will loop. They do not repeat in a typical status.

When you press and hold the power button for two seconds, the white LED light will pop on, and then start blinking as it initializes.
