What means LED blinking red? [answered]

Hello,
My phone had turned off last night and now that I started charging it the LED started blinking red and the normal charging animation didn't play on the screen. The user guide doesn't mention blinking red option at all: http://jolla.com/guide/#sec-3
I'm little bit afraid that there may be something wrong as the battery level was more than 60 % just nine hourse ago so it's hard to imagine the phone would have shut down due to deplepted battery... Still this question is really about the red blinking missing from the manual.
Ok, now it has turned solid blue (not desribed in the guide either) and the charging animation runs on the screen.

white : switching on red : switching off pale white : charging pale white blinking : fully charged
It also uses the same colours as your main apps to tell you if you've missed something: green blinking : missed call blue blinking : missed message yellow blinking : new email

Btw, eventually the phone started up normally from that "solid blue & charging screen" state.
