In most cases, you do not need to turn off your Trackman iO manually. The device is designed to enter a low-power sleep mode automatically when it's not in use, particularly when the Trackman Performance Studio (TPS) software is closed. This feature helps conserve energy and extends the life of the hardware without requiring user intervention.
However, there are a few scenarios where manually powering off or rebooting the Trackman iO might be necessary:
- Troubleshooting: If the device becomes unresponsive or you encounter software glitches, a manual reboot can help resolve the issue.
- Hardware Maintenance: During installation, relocation, or maintenance, turning off the unit ensures safety and prevents potential damage.
- Software Updates: Occasionally, a full restart may be required after firmware or software updates to ensure proper installation.
To manually power off or reboot the Trackman iO, you can press and hold the power button located on the front of the camera unit.
In summary, while it's generally best to let the Trackman iO manage its own power state, knowing how and when to turn it off can be useful in specific situations.
