Battery Life and Charging:

The system offers a comprehensive battery life of up to 36 hours with the charging case. Each unit provides approximately 4.8 hours of continuous use on a single charge. When placed back into the charging case, the units automatically shut down and begin charging.

Optimal Placement:

For optimal performance and to maximize the 100-foot (30 meters) transmission distance, ensure a clear line of sight between the transmitter and receiver. Avoid placing the units directly behind large metal objects or near other strong wireless signals (e.g., Wi-Fi routers, Bluetooth devices) to prevent interference.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the units and charging case. Do not use liquid cleaners or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: Store the system in its charging case in a cool, dry place when not in use.
  • Battery Care: To prolong battery life, avoid fully discharging the units frequently. Charge them regularly, even if not in constant use.
  • Avoid Extreme Conditions: Do not expose the system to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight. The units are not water resistant.
