Overview
Set up your base stations at opposite corners of your space,
diagonally and above head height (ideally more than 2 meters
or 6.5 feet from the floor). For proper tracking, make sure the
two base stations aren’t more than 5 meters or 16 feet apart.
You can use the included mounting kit, but base stations
can also be mounted on tripods, light stands, cargo poles,
or placed on stable book cases. Make sure base stations
are not located where they can be jostled or moved.

Rotate the base station to
screw it onto the threaded
ball joint. Do not screw the
base station all the way in,
only enough to be stable
and oriented correctly.
Mark where you want to
install each of the mounts
on your wall, and then screw
the mounts in.
When mounting on concrete
or drywall, first drill ¼" holes
and insert anchors before
screwing mounts in.
Note: You will need a screwdriver or drill to install the mounts.
Ask a professional for help when using power tools.
Tighten the wingnut to the
base station to secure it
in place.
To adjust the angle of the
base station, loosen the
clamping ring while carefully
holding the base station to
prevent it from falling.

Tilt the base station toward
the play area. Make sure it has
an unobstructed view of the
other base station.
Each base station has a
120-degree field of view.
They should be angled down
between 30 and 45 degrees.
To fix the angle of the base
station, tighten the clamping
ring back in.
Attach the power cable
to each base station.
The base station channel
is visible through the front
panel. Make sure that one
is on channel ‘b’ and the
other is on channel ‘c’.
Press the channel button
on the back to cycle
between channels.
