Hi Alex,

That’s very strange. Just confirming: the blinking is a faint blink once every few seconds?

If it’s a faint blink every few seconds, maybe by some fluke the device has set itself back in to shipping mode, where it turns the radio off to avoid raising any red flags with the postal service. To wake it from this mode, try shorting the C and Ω inputs together for 10 seconds. If successful the device will reboot and advertise.

Another test to try:
When you reboot, the device should give strong solid blinks for about 5 seconds before transitioning to the faint blinks. Does the meter appear in any scans while giving the solid blinks? It should appear as “Bootloader” in that mode.

I hope I can help you get this resolved. Also the batteries should not have been dead after 4 months on a shelf. There was a batch of meters that went out with firmware that drains the battery faster, so if we can get you up and running again I recommend running a firmware update.

Please let me know how the above goes. Best
