the red light is a power light. you do have to install the software that came on a disk with it. you put the slides or negatives in a tray & insert into the device. plug the device into a usb port & click the icon that comes up on your desktop to access the slide or negative to copy into digital form to store on your computer.

First off, Maybe Ron's answer needs clarifying. Load the software to your PC this unit is not a camera of any sort! Then plug in the unit to your PC,I believe its a USB. Now if you have some SLIDES open the slide unit and insert into the unit from right to left, one slide at a time. Get more answers from the book or go online. Hope this helps.

The red light indicates that it is ready to work but you must first download the program that accompanied the camera.

Certainly sounds like you wired it correctly. Just remember that LEDs are polarity sensitive, so make sure your positive is on the red wire. If that is confirmed, then I have nothing more to suggest.

I have no problems with mine. I would check for a loose connection or possibly the plug to Wht ever your running it to may be worn out

You should have gotten charge cords for both items. Just plug the cords into them and when they are charged the red light will go off.

Yes, the light should turn on by plugging it in. I know because I own it. Try plugging it in to a different outlet. If it doesn't turn on, the product is defective

Hello, I just received my unit. I plugged it in and the Power Light was flashing red AND the blue UV-C light was flashing. Resetting the unit by pushing and holding in the UV-C Button changed the power light to green but the UV-C light is still flashing. Any suggestions? Possibly the bulb was damaged in transit and needs replaced? Thanks for any help!

There is a red switch in the back I didn't know about it til I was cleaning it. Return if the switch doesn't work.

If the light is turning red check the sensor. If ita not turning on at all, it could be a circuit issue.

Mine worked fine. If you don't see a light inside the unit when you plug it in, either the unit is defective or it not connected properly.

Try to charge it again. The red charging light should lit. Goes off when charge completed. If the red light stay on for days that means the battery is not charging. Remember the LED lights only turn on in "DARK" when unplug from outlet or no electricity. The unit is designed for emergency usage (no electricity , total darkness). LED lights won't turn on under daylight or normal room light. Call them for replacement if you think it is defective. I have half dozen of these for three years. And they still working in good order. I hope they will last for couple more years.

If it doesn't work pretty much automatically when you plug it in, you might consider returning it for one that works. Mine worked fine righf out of the box

Jim, when you plug it in the device will turn on, however, as one of the reviews had mentioned that electric supplied cird is faulty, so you may have to buy a separate plug for that device. I hope this helps with your buying decision.

This might be a repeat answer. If you have pluged the unit into another outlet and the light still flashes I think you should return it.

Press the SRC button to turn it on. If it does not work, it might be bad wiring or problem on the product itself. There is not many reasons that might cause it to go bad

If you've recently bought it, send it back for a refund (the whole unit). Otherwise you may have to contact Amazon. It's pretty common that this unit fails in some way. I had two arrive "dead on arrival" before finally getting one that worked.

Since this is a powered hub, you must ensure that you have it 'powered up' Mine had a small red LED that lite when it was plugged in. If connections are good, and your LED is lite (and unit still fails) you need another one.
