Sound quality and the indicator (blue) of each mode
When the sound quality mode is switched, the headset indicates the remaining battery capacity by flashing the indicator in red first, and then in blue to indicate the sound quality mode. You can check the current sound quality mode by the number of flashes of the indicator (blue).
