Understanding Your Raft's LED Feedback
The Raft LED is located on the top of the device only. It has two states and is not customizable.
| LED State | Meaning |
|---|
| Red (flashing) | An active emergency has been declared — water sensor triggered, Fall Alert declared, or button pressed |
| Blinking (while docked) | Actively charging |
The Raft does not display other LED colors. It does not have indicator lights for heartbeat, signal strength, or connectivity status. All of that information is visible in the dashboard at app.punchrescue.com under Devices.
Unlike Rescue Cards, Repeaters, and Alert Stations, Raft LED behavior is not customizable. The Raft always flashes red through the top during an active emergency, regardless of the emergency category triggered.
