-The Oak will blink a new pattern when the update is complete and loaded: 0.5 seconds off, and then three blinks of 0.1 second, and then this repeats. (If someone can drop a gif of it here that'd be awesome). This pattern will only blink right after the update and when you enter config mode, not when you have a sketch running.+The Oak will blink a new pattern when the update is complete and loaded: 0.5 seconds off, and then three blinks of 0.1 second, and then this repeats.

-Move your Oak 2-3 rooms away from your WiFi router. The Oak has very strong signal and when placed next to another device with a strong signal like your router this can cause them to lose their connection to eachother ​or experience a high rate of errors. This seems to be especially ​sensative ​during the first update.+Move your Oak 2-3 rooms away from your WiFi router.

-If you have code that has caused your Oak to be unresponsive,​ you need to change which wireless network your Oak connects to, have an Oak that failed to register on Particle during its initial update or just want to tinker with  some of the deeper system configuration settings, safe mode is for you. It puts your Oak into a state where you can access it again just like you did when doing the initial setup, and also stops any buggy code from locking it up again. ​+If you have code that has caused your Oak to be unresponsive,​ you need to change which wireless network your Oak connects to, have an Oak that failed to register on Particle during its initial update or just want to tinker with  some of the deeper system configuration settings, ​[[/safe mode]] is for you.
