you can. the way to do it reliably and on all devices is not
officially documented but not too hard. here:
Err HwrLEDAttributes(Boolean set,UInt16 op,void* data)
SYS_TRAP(sysTrapHwrLEDAttributes)
//set=true to set a value, set=false to get it.
//
// *For the second parameter, the following can be used
//
// *value points to a Boolean stating the state of the LED
//
// #define kHwrLEDActive 1
//
// *value points to a UInt16, specifying the length of one cycle.
// *value is in ticks (1/100 seconds)
//
// #define kHwrLEDRate 2
//
// * value points to a UInt32, specifying the pattern of LED blinking
// * example:
// 0xFFFFFFFF stay on
// 0x0F0F0F0F blink four times in equal intervals
// 0xAAAAAAAA blink really fast
// 0x0F0F0000 blink twice, then pause
//
// #define kHwrLEDPattern 3
//
// *value points to a UInt16, specifying the delay between two
// *cycles in ticks
//
// #define kHwrLEDDelay 4
//
// *value points to a UInt16 specifying the amount of repeats
//
// #define kHwrLEDRepeatCount 5
also do not expect state to stay for long as system can change it
anytime (like if an alarm goes off).
pretty much to turn it on, set pattern to 0xFFFFFFFF, repeat count to
something large, rate to something large, and then active to "true",
to turn off, just set active to false.
if you are curious, for vibrate control it is the same, expect the api
is HwrVibrateAttributes, with the prototype of
Err HwrVibrateAttributes(Boolean set,UInt16 op,void* data)
SYS_TRAP(sysTrapHwrVibrateAttributes)

My app needs to connect to a Bluetooth-enabled laser distancemeter (namely a
Leica Disto). At the tap of a button on the Palm, I establish the connection and
wait for data. Is there a way I can blink, flash or just light the charge LED on
the device (if any) to indicate a connection is setup? Or is there another
standard way to inform the user?

you forgot to set repeat count, delay, and then set "Active" to 1
all of those need to be done

I do
UInt32 led = 0x0F0F0000;
HwrLEDAttributes( true, kHwrLEDPattern, &led );
but nothing flashes on my T3. Did I miss something?

I do:
UInt32 led = 0xFFFFFFFF;
Boolean active = true;
HwrLEDAttributes( true, kHwrLEDPattern, &led );
HwrLEDAttributes( true, kHwrLEDActive, &active );
and nothing happens on the T3 :(
