What Do the Different LED Colors on the Tabs Mean?

Dharma Dr. tabs use a series of LED lights to communicate power, pairing status, charging progress, and in-session activity. Below is a complete guide to what each LED color and pattern means:

LED Meanings: Tab Status

• White (Pulsing): Pairing Mode — Tabs are searching for a connection
• White (Solid): Standby Mode — Tabs are paired and ready to use
• Teal Blue: App Mode — Tabs are connected to the app and ready to begin a session
• Green → Blue → Fuchsia → Teal: In Session — LED color shifts based on speed and intensity during manual or app-controlled sessions
• Red (Solid): Factory Reset Complete — Tab has been reset. Both tabs must show red to complete a reset successfully
• Off (No Light): Tabs are powered off or fully charged and idle in the case

LED Meanings: Charging Case

• Orange (Slow Pulsing): Charging — Tab is charging in the case (battery under 90%)
• Green (Solid): Fully Charged — Tab in case is at or above 90%

How to Enter Bluetooth Pairing Mode

• Hold down the tab with the ~ (tilde) symbol for about 4 seconds
• The LED will begin pulsing white, indicating that it’s in Bluetooth pairing mode
