ZOLEO App - Understanding the Status Bar

The ZOLEO app is the key to all the awesome features of ZOLEO. The Status Bar in the ZOLEO App provides a real-time view of your ZOLEO device’s connectivity and messaging behavior.

Located at the bottom of the app, the bar gives you quick access to device insights and expands for more detailed status information.

Collapsed View

When collapsed, the Status Bar displays key indicators for:

• Bluetooth and Device Connection
  • • A grey ZOLEO icon indicates the app is not connected to your device. 
      
    • If the ZOLEO icon is green and you can see battery and signal indicators, your ZOLEO is successfully connected.
      
      
      • The battery icon color changes based on battery level:
        • • Green: Above 50%
          • Yellow: 25% - 50%
          • Red: Below 25%
• Satellite Signal Strength
  • • Green bars indicate the available signal strength.
    • Grey bars indicate the signal strength capabilities your device can reach. They appear when the signal is weaker to help you better understand signal quality.
      
• Standby Indicator
  • • When your ZOLEO is in standby mode to preserve battery between message checks, the Status Bar displays a standby icon and a tooltip explaining your device is temporarily inactive but ready to check messages at the next scheduled message check.
