  • Refactored the charging algorithm to provide improved functionality. The battery LED now provides visual feedback to indicate the charging progress.

    1. When connecting the UNI-GRX to a power source using a 12-pin or USB-C cable, the battery LED displays an animation that represents the charging negotiation status with the cable.

    2. If the charging negotiation is successful, the device will begin charging and the battery LED will blink in the current battery level color. However, if the negotiation fails, the battery LED will start fast blinking red.

       • IMPORTANT When the battery LED rapidly blinks red, it indicates an error with the current charging session. To ensure a successful charging session, it is advised to disconnect the cable and wait for at least 5 seconds before reconnecting the cable.

       • IMPORTANT If the rapid red blinking persists, it suggests that the user may be utilizing an unsupported charger.

       • IMPORTANT If the rapid red blinking persists even with a supported charger. Turn on and off the device without the usb-c cable, so that the usb-c chip can reset.
