When the RFID reader has powered up, it will beep twice

flash green two times (Figure 2). The device status LED

The device status LED flashes blue during Bluetooth discoverable
mode to indicate the RFID reader is waiting for a Bluetooth physical

mode if no connection is established within the discovery time-out
(60 seconds), or will indicate a physical connection if a Bluetooth
connection is established.
