Why does Flow need a warm-up period and when does this happen?

Just like our developers before their morning coffee, Flow needs a little boost before it gets up and running.

Your Flow requires a warm-up period to ensure that the gas sensors inside the device work to maximum capacity. 

This happens:

• When your Flow is installed for the first time.
• If your Flow runs out of battery and is recharged.
• When your Flow has just performed a firmware update.

If the lights on the front of your Flow are pulsing yellow like the image below, just wait a little while for your Flow to wake up. The warm-up period lasts fifteen minutes.
