Notice that the information on the right of the screen explains the current status of your transponder
subscription (green tick = subscription is valid for more than 30 days; orange icon = subscription is valid
for 1 to 30 days; red icon = subscription is expired and must be renewed).

Wait until the activation is complete and the following message appears:

Connect the X2 RaceKey to the X2 Transponder. The X2 Transponder is immediately
activated (the lamp on the transponder blinks green).

Now all 3 lights on the racekey should be green (the checkered light may be alternating green to red this indicates the transponder is charging)

Once the transponder is fully charged all lights should be steady green

Disconnect the transponder from the race key and you should see the small lights on the transponders "M8 Connector" are blinking green in a pattern

The Pattern consists of  a pause then Blink, Blink, Blink, Blink, pause ... this indicates how many days of charge are left in the transponder (4 blinks indicates 4 days, 3 blinks 3 days, etc ...) 

if the light on the transponder is blinking red once every 5 seconds this indicates there is less than one day of charge in the transponder.

If the transponder is blinking red 5 times per second the transponder is not activated and will not score. (Please either start at the begining of this guide again or contact MYLAPS )
