Wondering what the status lights on your Capture device mean?
- If the light is solid, it means it is connected or ready (good).
- If the light is flickering, it means there is activity happening. For example, the Console or WiFi light will flicker during a file upload and the Camera light will flicker when it is copying files from the camera.
- If the light is flashing, it means it is trying to connect. Usually, you just need to give it a minute to boot before the light will go solid.
- If the status light is not turning on at all, it means it isn't trying to do anything (for example the blue Reader light will not turn on until it is told to try and pair with a Reader). You might need to do an action or change a configuration in the Console to make it do things.
Power (Green)
The green Power LED will light up to show that the Capture unit is powered on. This should happen immediately upon pressing the power button, but it will be up to 30 seconds before other status lights begin indicating.
Camera (Orange)
The orange Camera LED will keep flashing until the camera is both plugged in and powered on. If the Camera light is flickering it means the Capture unit is copying image files from the camera.
Reader (Blue)
The blue Reader LED won’t turn on until you try to pair the Reader. If the Reader light is flickering it means there is communication happening between the Reader and Capture unit.
Console (Yellow)
The yellow Console LED will keep flashing until it is able to connect to the internet (via cellular networks or Wifi) and make a connection with the Console. If the Console light is flickering it means the Capture unit is uploading images to the cloud. The Capture device can be used without connection to the Console, however, images will not upload until the connection has been made. Read this article if you have a brand new Capture kit in the US/Canada and you're having trouble connecting the device to Console.
Wifi (Green)
The green Wifi LED stays solid when the device is connected to a WiFi network, or if WiFi has been turned off from the Console, the light will be turned off. If the Wifi light is flickering it means the Capture unit is uploading images to the cloud via Wifi.
