Hi,

I use my trackir 4 without any problem for nearly 1 year now on my desktop computer and I'm totally happy with it. I just tried today to install and plug it on my laptop computer and I noticed that the top led of the trackir is lightly blinking in red when I'm not using it (it doesn't do that on my desktop pc). Except that, all works fine but this red blinking light worries me a little. Does it mean something ?

Thanks in advance

Status LED indicators
The TrackIR camera has status LEDs which give the user visual cues about the status of the TrackIR software. There are two Status LEDs, one is located on the front directly above the infrared shield, and the other is on the underside of the TrackIR camera which will cause the case to "glow" blue when it is illuminated. Use the following key to interpret what the state and color of the status LEDs mean.

Front Status LED

Off : NO reflective surface is being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output is NOT paused.
Green : A reflective surface IS being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output is NOT paused.
Orange : A reflective surface IS being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output IS paused.
Red : NO reflective surface is being tracked, and TrackIR Enhanced output IS paused.
Flashing Blue or Green : Low power or stand by mode.

Blue Case LED

Off : There is NO TrackIR Enhanced Title (game or simulation) running.
Glowing Blue : A TrackIR Enhanced Title IS running and has registered with the TrackIR software
