Device Basics

Use this page to identify the receiver controls, charging port, signal cable jack, status light, and battery behavior.

Status Light​

PRIORITYwave has one status light for power, charging, pairing, and command activity.

Blue​

Blue patternMeaning
Steady onThe receiver is powered on and running on battery.
Single brief flashAn advance command was accepted from a remote, the touchscreen, or the app.
Slow pulsePairing mode is active for Bluetooth or a remote.

Red and Green (while charging)​

When USB-C is connected, the light shows charging status:

  • Red — the battery is charging.
  • Green — the battery is fully charged.
note

You can turn the blue status LED off in Settings > Power LED. The device continues to operate normally with the LED off. See Settings.

USB-C Charging​

The receiver charges through its USB-C port.

  • You can use any reputable USB-C cable with a standard 5 V USB power source, including a wall adapter or a portable battery pack.
  • Plugging in USB-C wakes the device and begins charging.
  • The port is for charging only. It is not used for data.
tip

For long deployments, keep a USB-C power bank connected. Because any 5 V USB-C source works, a standard phone charger or field battery pack will keep the receiver topped up.

Signal Cable Jack​

The jack on the top right connects PRIORITYwave to the traffic cabinet.

  • Use the included 3.5 mm TRS to 1/4" TRS cable. Any reputable cable of the same type may be substituted.
  • Connect the 3.5 mm end to the receiver's jack and the 1/4" end to the cabinet's manual push-button input. The cabinet port may be labeled PB Manual Cord, Push Button, Manual, or similar.
  • Confirm the cable is fully seated at both ends before sending commands.

When a command is accepted, the receiver sends a manual advance through this cable. See Getting Started for the full cabinet connection procedure.

Power Switch​

The power switch is a simple on/off switch on the device.

  • Switch it on to power up. The touchscreen starts, and the operating screens appear when the receiver is ready.
  • Switch it off to power the device down completely.

There is no press-and-hold behavior. The switch directly turns the receiver on and off.

Battery​

PRIORITYwave runs from a large internal rechargeable battery.

  • The battery level is shown as a percentage in the top status bar on the operating screens.
  • The receiver keeps a small reserve, so the battery may read 0% while a little charge still remains. At that point the receiver stops accepting advance commands to protect itself until you connect USB-C.
  • A charging bolt appears on the battery indicator while USB-C is connected.

Recharge over USB-C before the battery runs low.
