SyncBac PRO User Guide 7

Display and Controls

OLED Display

The OLED display is a blue 128 × 32 pixels screen. When you switch on the SyncBac

PRO, all status information, messages, and menus and options are shown on this

screen.

To learn about the various status displays, including the 'Main' screen shown above,

see Status Information on page 39.

8 SyncBac PRO User Guide

LED

The LED to the right of the OLED display acts as a colour-coded status indicator.

Colour Description

Green If the SyncBac PRO is switched on and set to run as an RF slave, a green

light indicates that the SyncBac PRO is communicating with a master

device. Its clock is synchronised with the clock in a master device.

If the SyncBac PRO is switched off, the green light indicates that the

battery is fully charged.

Blue A blue light indicates that the SyncBac PRO has been synchronised with a

master device but is currently 'free running'. It has lost its connection

with the master and is using its own highly accurate internal clock. When

the master is back in range, the SyncBac PRO will attempt to reconnect

and re-synchronise.

A flashing blue light means that the SyncBac PRO is in the process of

synchronising with a master.

Red If the SyncBac PRO is switched on, a red light indicates a warning

message is displayed on screen or that the battery power is low.

If you are unfamiliar with master and slave devices, you can learn more in the

following sections:

lSet the Timecode Mode on page 20

lMaster and Slave Relationship on page 22
