ANCHOR AIR: FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: What is the range of the AIR wireless connection? A: Each AIR or R-series receiver speaker can be placed up to 300+ feet from the main unit transmitter. In ideal conditions, you can place the systems further, however, be aware of physical latency and/or interference. If you are using multiple AIR systems, be sure to center the main unit between all AIR companions.
SYSTEM PLACEMENT CORRECT INCORRECT ANCHOR AIR ARRANGEMENT AIR companion speakers can be placed within 300+ feet from the main unit without experiencing latency and/or breaking wireless connection. When setting up your Anchor AIR system make sure to place the main transmitter unit in the center so the AIR companion units are on either side of the system. It is recommended to face all systems the same direction as facing systems at each other can result in feedback or distortion.
BATTERY INFORMATION ACTIVE FUEL GAUGE Sound systems include an ACTIVE FUEL GAUGE that shows you how much battery is remaining in your unit. The indicator provides information about the battery’s state of charge. It is in the form of a bar graph. The more bars that show a solid color, the better the battery’s state of charge. When the lowest light is glowing, we recommend finding an AC power outlet to charge and power your unit.
