+## What does the light mean?
+
+The power indicator is an LED on the back of your Azure Kinect DK. The color of the LED changes depending on the status of your device.
+
+![The image shows the back of the Azure Kinect DK. There are three numbered callouts: one for an LED indicator, and below it, two for cables.](./media/quickstarts/azure-kinect-dk-power-indicator.png)
+
+This figure labels the following components:
+
+1. Power indicator
+1. Power cable (connected to the power source)
+1. USB-C data cable (connected to the PC)
+
+Make sure that the cables are connected as shown. Then check the following table to learn what the various states of the power light indicate.
+
+|When the light is: |It means that: |And you should: |
+| ---| --- | --- |
+|Solid white |The device is powered on and working correctly. |Use the device. |
+|Not lit |The device is not connected to the PC. |Make sure that the round power connector cable is connected to the device and to the USB power adapter.<br /><br />Make sure that the USB-C cable is connected to the device and to your PC. |
