blinks once, then release the Button. The yellow LED will be on and the LED "gas gauge" will display
every 3 seconds.

lights and one red "gas gauge" LED blinks slowly. After one minute all lights shut off. Charge QB1+ as
soon as possible.
1.5 Over Current/Overheat Protection - QB1+ shuts down, the red Error LED will light, and the "gas
gauge" will blink 3 times every 2 seconds.
1.6 Charging - Charging time is decreased to between 3 and 5 hours. The LED "gas gauge" indicates the
charge progress.
1.7 Self Check - When connecting the charger, QB1+ goes through a self check. If QB1+ detects any
problems, the red Error LED will light, and one or more of the "gas gauge" LED's will be blinking. See
