    larger than that of when the power indicator is red.
    ●	 When the power indicator is changing from green 
    showing the picture is displayed to red or off, while 
    the OpenPort PLATFORM system is shutting down, 
    the indicator temporarily illuminates in orange. In 
    this status, the remote control operation is ignored.
