    COLOR CODE Avatar VR has a LED indicator that shows the state by means of a color code: If it is red (except while switching on) it tells us there is a problem, whether in functioning, low battery (in this case, it flashes), or it has stayed in an undetermined state (remains steady red until the power is switched off and on).
