DETERMINE MERLIN STATES 
 
In This Section 
 
 
• 
Determine the current state of your UMTS Merlin, by interpreting the cadence (flashing sequence) and  
colour of the Light Emitting Diode  
 
 
The Light Emitting Diode (LED) is a device that lights up when power is applied to it.  Interpreting the LED’s 
flashing sequence and color, will provide you with the current state of your UMTS Merlin.  See Table 1 below.
