Charging Indicator
The Charging Indicator will display when the Aqua Pod's battery is charging. This
occurs when the Aqua Pod is sitting in the charging stand and the stand is plugged
into the wall. During charging, the battery bars will move from left to right. When the
battery is fully charged, the Charging Indicator will stop moving and show all bars.
Note that when the battery charge is low, the message “Please plug in to charge
battery” will appear every few seconds. If the battery charge gets too low to continue
powering the Aqua Pod, the display will show “Battery dead! Please charge now”.

Day/Time, System Off and Check System error
Normally, the day of the week and time is shown in this location on the display. The
day and time are sent from the Aqua Logic automatically. Note that all timers will refer
to this information for starting and stopping timed events. If this information is not
accurate, pool/spa equipment may not run properly.
When the Aqua Logic is in System Off mode, “System Off” will blink in this location
on the display. When an error occurs that requires someone to check the system,
“Check System” will blink in this location on the display. Refer to the Aqua Logic
manual for Troubleshooting.
4.
Pool, Spa and Air Temperatures
This location of the display will show the pool, spa and/or air temperatures depending
on how the system is configured. Note that “---” is displayed in place of the Pool or
Spa temperature if the filter pump is off. “Err” is displayed when a temperature sensor
or its wiring is either open or shorted.

Menu
This location on the Aqua Pod's display is used for the direct communication to the
Aqua Logic control system. Access to the Aqua Logic menus and submenus are
displayed here. This information follows the Aqua Logic's local display, as well as
any other remote control connected to the system. Any programming changes made
from the Aqua Pod, Aqua Logic or any remote in the system will be displayed here.
When no changes have been made from any location for more than 2 minutes, the
Aqua Pod will scroll through each display of the Aqua Logic's default menu. Refer to
the Aqua Logic Installation and Operation manuals for more information.

Softkeys
The Aqua Pod allows for easy On/Off/Auto control of your pool equipment. Using
the Aqua Pod's softkey pushbuttons, any of your pool's equipment shown in this
location of the display can be turned On/Off or returned to automatic operation.
When equipment assigned to a softkey is on, the equipment name will be displayed
behind a solid backfill (see diagram on page 3). When the output is off, the name will
be displayed with no backfill.

the assigned keys.

Operating Status
Because the Aqua Pod is battery operated, it displays various information about its
condition and the status of its battery. Refer to the section below for an explanation
of these displays:
Shutting down to
save battery power
When not in the charging stand, the Aqua Pod will briefly show this display and go
into “sleep” mode after one minute if no buttons are pressed. This mode conserves
the battery power while the remote is not in use. While asleep, the display will be off.
To “wake” the unit up, push any button on the keypad.
Aqua Pod is now
refreshing display
When the Aqua Pod “wakes”, it will show this display while it collects status informa-
tion from the Aqua Logic control unit.
Please plug in to
charge battery
When the battery is low, the Aqua Pod will alternate between this display and the
normal status display. Under typical conditions, there are at least 10 more one-minute
uses available when this display is first shown. The battery will slowly lose charge if
the unit is not put into the charging stand.
Battery dead!
Please charge now!
This display is shown briefly, immediately before the unit shuts down. The Aqua Pod
will not operate again (to protect the battery) until it is inserted into the base charger.
