Powering ON and OFF

  • The S8 can be powered on and off using the button on the side, using the Ignition Mode feature, or by inserting the tag into a powered on Dock
  • When the device is powering on or off, the LEDs will glow white from North to South
    • When the S8 wearable device is powering on all three LEDs will do a single ‘breath’ on
    • When the S8 wearable device is powering off all three LEDs will do a single ‘breath’ off

What does each LED indicator on my Vector Device mean?

The LEDs are colour coded and represent different statuses depending on the Vector Devices being in a recording mode or inserted into the Vector Dock.

Device in Recording Mode

2 minutes after entering recording mode, the brightness of the Vector S8 LEDs will dim. If the Power Button is pressed during this two minutes, the timer will be restarted. To bring the LED brightness back to 100% after it has dimmed, short press the Power Button.

Top LED - Battery Status

  • Flashing Red = Battery Critically Low, <10% battery remaining (approx. 30 minutes of battery life remaining)
  • Solid Red = Power on and 10-30% battery remaining (approx. 2 hours of battery life remaining)
  • Solid Yellow = Power on and 30-80% battery remaining
  • Solid Green = Power on and >80% battery remaining

North LED - GNSS Status

  • Flashing Green = Device is searching for GNSS to join
  • Solid Green = Indicates a GNSS lock

South LED - Ultra-Wideband Wireless Status

  • Flashing Yellow = Device is searching for UWB to join
  • Solid Yellow = Indicates an active connection has been established with UWB

Device Docked

Top LED - Battery Status

  • Flashing Red = Charging fault
  • Breathing Red = Device is charging, Batter level <30%
  • Breathing Yellow = Device is charging, Battery level 30-80%
  • Breathing Green = Device is charging, Battery level >80%
  • Solid Green = Device is fully charged, Battery level 100%

North LED - GNSS Status

  • Flashing White = Enumeration / file transfer fault
  • Breathing White = Device has enumerated and is queued to download data to the Dock
  • Fast Breathing White = Data is downloading
  • Solid White = Device has enumerated with the Dock and is idle

South LED - Ultra-Wideband Wireless Status

  • The BOTTOM LED will NOT be illuminated when Vector Device is Docked.

Dock is in Standby

  • The North LED will intermittently double flash white if there is a pending raw file upload. Otherwise, it will remain off

S8 in Battery Saver

  • The North LED will show a dim yellow with intermittent breath every 20 seconds
