There are two ways to power on your Looking Glass Go:&#x20;

1. Connect one end of the cable to the USB-C port on the back of the display, and one end of the cable to a power outlet using the included power adapter. \
   This will activate **Standalone Mode (Solid White)**.&#x20;
2. Alternatively, connect one end of the cable to the USB-C port on the back of the display, and one end of the cable to a computer. \
   When connected to a computer, your Go will effectively have **two** modes to operate on: \
   **Standalone Mode (Solid White)** or **Desktop Mode (Solid Blue)**.&#x20;

Press the power button once to turn your Looking Glass Go on.

### Status LED Key

The Looking Glass Go has a status LED on the side of the device near the power button.&#x20;

The status LED is helpful to determine what state the Looking Glass is in.
