# Powering ON the Camera - Self-Check

The A6K-Lite camera will power on automatically when the entire system (NavBox) is connected to a power supply (make sure the LiDAR/Camera cable is connected between NavBox and camera). 

At boot-up, the camera will perform a **self-check** to guarantee proper functionality.

During the self-check, the Status LED of the camera will be constant RED and the camera will trigger a total of 2 times (the Activity LED will signal a trigger event by flashing RED). 

After a successful self-check, the Status LED will turn to constant GREEN. Otherwise, if the self-check failed, the Status LED will start flashing RED. If this happens, the camera will not be operational. Please refer to section [Troubleshooting](/rover/hardware/camera/a6k-lite-camera/troubleshooting.md) of this manual.

Once the Status LED is GREEN, the camera is ready for operation and can be used via Spatial Explorer.<br>
