Objective
- Explain the meanings of the Logo and GPS LEDs on the Halo Collar
Environment
- Halo Collar
LED Meanings
The following LED statuses apply to collars running firmware version 0.2.8 or later:
LOGO LED
The Halo Logo LED will blink in your dog's selected color while your dog is moving. Different modes will be indicated by different blink rates. When the collar transitions from one GPS state to another (Outdoor GPS, Indoor GPS, Hybrid GPS), it will briefly blink in a certain color to indicate the current state:
|
Mode |
Logo LED Blink* |
|
Fences On |
2 times, every 4 sec (Pet Color) |
|
Fences Off |
1 time, every 4 sec (Pet Color) |
|
Transitioning to Outdoor GPS |
Blinks Blue 4x for 4 sec |
|
Transitioning to Indoor GPS |
Blinks White 4x for 4 sec |
|
Transitioning to Hybrid GPS |
Blinks Pink 4x for 4 sec |
* NOTE: While your dog/collar is not moving, the Halo Logo LED will not blink
GPS/Bluetooth LED
The GPS/Bluetooth LED, which is the teardrop-shaped indicator located under the Power button, may indicate any of the following and will help you understand the GPS and Bluetooth status of the collar:
|
GPS state |
LED (Not paired with Halo App) |
LED (Paired with Halo App) |
|
Indoor GPS |
Off |
Blue light on solid |
|
Outdoor GPS |
Blinks Blue once per second |
Blue light mostly on - but it will "pulse" off every second |
|
Hybrid GPS |
Blinks Pink once every two seconds |
Mostly Blue but blinks Pink |
|
Collar is downloading position data |
Solid Pink for about a minute |
|
|
GPS Calibration Required |
Blinks Red for three seconds then off for three seconds. Please take your collar outside, with an unobstructed view of the sky, until the GPS LED starts to blink Blue (Outdoor GPS) |
|
| SAFETY NOTE: When GPS is in hybrid state (blinking pink), the collar will NOT provide Prevention Feedback to your dog - even when outdoors. It will instead send a Return Whistle if it detects your dog crossing the Halo Fence. Be sure to check GPS LED status before letting your dog roam outside to make sure it is properly contained by its Halo Fence. |
Battery/Charge LED
The Battery/Charge LED, located above the Power button, provides a charge warning (yellow or red blinks) when the collar is unplugged, and provides a charging indicator when the collar plugged in for charging (green blink while charging; solid on once charged). See How do I charge the Halo Collar?.
During a Firmware upgrade, while Applying the new Firmware, the Battery/Charge LED blinks Red. SAFETY NOTE: Do not unplug your collar from the charger when the Battery LED is blinking red.
Additional Notes
- The LEDs will behave differently during the indoor/outdoor calibration process. For more information on LED activity during this process, please see the article 'How to custom-configure my collar's indoor outdoor sensor'
