All four LEDs blink slowly when Flow is in standby mode.
All four LEDs blink quickly when an error has occurred. The two most common reasons are:
• Flow is physically prevented from moving, or experiences a technical error. Remove any
obstacles, then press any button.
• The phone is not centered or not held securely in the phone clamp. This may lead to abnormal
heating of the motor and trigger Flow's overheating protection. Please re-center and secure the
phone.
