What does the status light on the base stations mean?

The status light shows:
§ Green when the base station is in normal mode
§ Blue when the base station is waiting to stabilize. If it remains in this state, check if it is
mounted securely or on a surface that's not prone to vibration.
§ Dim green when the base station is on standby
§ Purple when the base stations are trying to sync
§ Blinking purple when syncing is blocked. If you're connecting the base stations wirelessly,
you may need to use the sync cable. See
What should I do if any of the base stations is not

§ Make sure that you've installed your base stations correctly. For details, see

§ If the base stations have trouble wirelessly syncing with each other, there might be an
obstruction in your play area. Check if using the sync cable would solve your issue. For
details, see Do I need to use the sync cable?
§ Restart the SteamVR app. If you still get an error, reboot your computer and reopen the
SteamVR app.
