Between the time you apply power to the controller and the time it has to
establish communication with a connected programming device, the only
form of communication between you and the controller is through the LEDs.

When Operating Normally

When power is applied, only the power LED turns on and remains on, as
shown on the left in the figure below. This is part of the normal power up
sequence.

When the controller is placed in RRUN mode, the run LED also turns on and
remains on, as shown on the right in the figure below. If a force exists, the
force LED is on as well.

When powered up:
