Fieldy – LED Indicator Guide

Below is a breakdown of what each color and blinking pattern means during normal operation and specific button actions.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

You can check what version you are using by connecting your Fieldy and going into Device Settings.

Version 2.3.0 and later

With 2.3.0 we introduced support for Offline Storage.

Button gestures

  • Single Click

    • Single white blink - Fieldy is connected.

    • Three white blinks - Fieldy is disconnected. Open the app to connect again.

  • 3 second hold will turn on or turn off

LED indicators

  • Blue

    Fieldy is in a pairing mode. Use Fieldy App to connect. If not paired with your phone, blue light basically indicates a disconnected state.

  • White (static)

    Fieldy is on and operational. It's either connected and transcribing in real-time or writing to Offline Storage in order to sync later.

    Note: Offline Storage is only available, if your Fieldy is properly paired to your phone. You can check your pair status in device settings.

    In the case where Offline Storage is not activated use a Single Click to check if Fieldy is connected and transcribing.

  • White (blinking)

    Fieldy is either muted or out of Offline Storage. Open the app to unmute

  • Red

    Fieldy is running out of battery. Charge it to resolve.

Resetting your device

  • Power reset

    10 second long press will power reset Fieldy. This is useful if Fieldy gets stuck in some weird state.

  • Factory reset

    A single click followed by an immediate 10 second long press will factory reset. This should be used as a last resort, as Fieldy will wipe Bluetooth pairing information with your phone. This means to connect to it again, you will have to forget Fieldy from your device's bluetooth settings.

Version between 1.0.8 and 2.0.4
