What does flashing green light on Yashica Microtec Zoom 90 mean?

I've just bought a used Yashica Microtec Zoom 90 without the user manual. It has a green light in the viewfinder that sometimes flashes quickly, sometimes slowly and sometimes is just on constant without flashing. I expect this is similar to other cameras in the Microtec Zoom series. Can anyone please tell me what this all means? Are these warnings or confirmations? Thanks!

On the Yashica Zoomtec (cousin of sorts, perhaps), the blinking green LED is warning of a slow shutter speed which may result in camera shake/blur. A solid on green LED means go ahead and take the shot. It also has a red LED that means flash ready (off) or not ready (on). It also has a red LED blink if you are too close to the subject. (Basically, if the red is on, you can't take a shot). Beyond the above ... I cannot guess for your particular model.
