Yes. It indicates the unit has power.

Yes, as soon as you turn the ignition on it will light but less bright than when you get any activity

Is it on with the engine off and keys removed? If so could be wired it to a permanent live instead of a switched live.
If not then the first green should be on all the time with the engine on.

Don't touch the settings......that's what a knocklink does, (well turn it back 1 at most) get it checked out you shouldn't be seeing any red lights.....

I was warned by Andy F when he installed my Commander not to worry about a blip on the knock reading when changing gear. If the sensor is in the normal place it is reasonably close to the gearbox remember.
