A continuously blinking green light on your Paytm Soundbox indicates that the device is trying to establish a network connection but hasn't been successful yet. Here's how to resolve this issue.
What Does Blinking Green Light Mean?
- Normal During Startup: The green light blinks for 1-2 minutes when you first power on the device. This is normal.
- Problem Indicator: If it keeps blinking for more than 5 minutes, there's a connectivity issue.
Step-by-Step Solutions
Step 1: Wait and Observe
