Note:
conjunction with the blue LED blinking once every 10 seconds, an
amber LED solid ON can be a normal condition for a short period

blades autolevel in series. Never remove a blade when the amber
LED is solid ON unless it has been on continuously for at least 10
minutes. Never remove an LCB while the library is powered on.
