Diagnostic LED
This section details the diagnostic features of the Latitude 7212 Rugged Tablet.
Instead of beep codes, errors are indicated via the bicolor power-button LED. A specific blink pattern is followed by flashing a
pattern of flashes in amber, followed by white. The pattern then repeats.
NOTE: The diagnostic pattern consists of a two-digit number being represented by a first group of LED blinks (1 through
9) in amber, followed by a 1.5 seconds pause with the LED off, and then a second group of LED blinks (1 through 9) in
white. This is then followed by a three second pause, with the LED off, before repeating over again. Each LED blink takes
0.5 seconds.
The system will not shut down when displaying the Diagnostic Error Codes. Diagnostic Error Codes will always supersede any
other use of the LED. For instance, on Notebooks, battery codes for Low Battery or Battery Failure situations will not be
displayed when Diagnostic Error Codes are being displayed:
