PHD guiding

Hi all,

I just started out experiencing PHD guiding together with EQASCOM. I always had problem with guiding after just 5 secs, the bottom panel kept beeping and flashing in red; and the guiding star moved out of the green square. Please see attached capture.
Much appreciate if you can advise what I did wrong here.

More info:
Equipment
I have HEQ5-Pro Goto mount & Orion Starshoot camera & guide scope (used for autoguiding). Skywatcher CF Newtonian F4 200mm

Connection:
- Orion starshoot to my laptop via USB
- HEQ5-Pro to my laptop via USB
- EQASCOM & PHD loaded

While writing this, I just remember EQASCOM has sidereal tracking feature, which I supposed to be enabled automatically right? (I forgot to double check this)
