You have two right red/green LEDs in your manual?

Left to right, inspired by the MK handset LEDs, it should be:
red/green for system warnings as you noted
blue for low pO2
red/green for high/on target pO2

There should be a pulsating green LED, it should be auto-dimming depending
on ambient light as not to destroy your vision. Alarms are not dimmed.

I left out the battery/cell status LED, but the info is in the article in the library.
Same as the start up and calibration signals.
I quoted right out of my Prism manual - which also agrees with my HUD.

There is only one right led - it can display green/dim red/bright red/flashing red. The center led is either off or blue.

Not quite sure what you mean by pulse. If mine is pulsing, then it's a pretty minor as it is not something I notice underwater. Likewise the dim-red bright-red is pretty hard to detect underwater.

However, it doesn't really matter. Blue means O2 below setpoint, green means A-OK and red means O2 above setpoint. Flashing red means PO2 above 1.55. You can only ever see one of these colors at any one time as the trigger conditions are all mutually exclusive.

I also left out calibration / power-up modes.
