Default Quick question about P-mags
I'm away from home base this weekend and had my cowl off to remove the oil-cooler shutter (temps were a bit high with it installed), so I thought about looking at the P-mag LED when I powered them on...just to see. I'm not sure what I thought I'd find, but I did it anyway.

With Master power on, I turned each one on seperately (not in Maintenance mode) and I got a green flash followed by a yellow flash. I looked on the emagair.com website and couldn't find what that meant, so I figured I'd ask you guys if you know what it means. They seem to run fine, but the "yellow" indication makes me wonder.

Anyone know?

Default once or multiple
Did it flash yellow one time or did it continue to flash yellow?

It only flashed yellow one time, after it flashed green (one time also). Then it went dark.

Normal ops if the P-lead was ungrounded (switch in run position).

Default SOS
If it flashes three short flashes followed by three longer flashes and keeps repeating, run!
