It's important to ensure that any objects that aren't currently in use are deactivated.

Evoke is constantly trying to find all enabled objects. Objects that are enabled but not visible in the volume (such as Pulsars that are charging, powered off or out of the volume) may cause spurious object tracks, or impede the tracking of the objects that are visible in the volume.


    **Deactivate an object:**


1. In the **Tracking** panel (or for smart objects, the **System** panel), select the object.
2. Do either of the following:
  1. In the properties below, clear the **Enabled** check box.
  2. In the **Tracking** tree, clear the relevant check box.
  If you selected a smart object (Pulsar), in the **Clusters** section of the System panel, the Pulsar connection status turns yellow.   
The linked device is deactivated so the marker LEDs turn off, which reduces power consumption.
