What does The MeatStick charger / X charger's LED indicate?

Last updated 10 months ago

Was this helpful?

Understanding the LED indications on The MeatStick and The MeatStick X chargers is essential. (Also applicable to the MeatStick Mini, The MeatStick 4, and the MeatStick Chef series)

Here's what you need to know:

Charging Stick:

  • Place the Stick on the charger and press the button. The LED turns green or red based on the charger's battery status.

  • LED stays on while the Stick is charging and turns off once fully charged.

Xtender Mode Activation:

  • After pressing the button and removing the Stick, the charger enters Xtender Mode (Bluetooth signal amplifier), indicated by a slow flashing LED.

  • Xtender mode deactivates after 30 minutes if no Stick signal is detected.

Priority of LED Indications:

  • Solid green (charging status) takes precedence over flashing green (Xtender mode).

  • After charging completes, the LED switches to flashing green if Xtender mode is active

Switching Modes:

  • Placing another Stick on the charger without pressing the button maintains Xtender mode without charging.

  • Pressing the button initiates both charging and Xtender mode, changing the LED from flashing green to solid green.

These LED indications ensure you're well-informed about your charger's status.

If the LED flashes green followed by five red flashes, the charger can't detect the Stick. Clean the Stick and charger contact points. If the issue persists, .

If the LED flashes green followed by twenty red flashes, there might be an issue with the Stick. .
