Step 5: Once plugged in the HuddlePod Air will be made available to your favorite conferencing
software. Let’s open up Skype and try it out. Press and hold the power button until the device is
turned on and enters standby mode. In this state, the bottom right blue light blinks continuously,
waiting for receiver to be connected. When the USB wireless adapter is connected to the USB
port on the computer, the USB driver will be automatically recognized on the computer. The
triangular blue light will now stop blinking and stay on, suggesting a successful wireless
connection between the device and the computer.
NOTE: Only connect one speaker device to the PC at a time. Connect the USB wireless
adapter directly to the PC rather than through a USB hub, or some operational problems can
arise.
Step 6: Now that our HuddlePod Air is connected to our computer. Let’s review the available
buttons on the top of our speakerphone. From left to right, we have the toggle microphone mute,
toggle speaker mute, power, HiFi mode which mutes the microphone, and increases the
speaker quality for use with music, decrease speaker volume, and lastly increase speaker
volume.
Step 7: You will notice there are LED light indicators above each button on top of the
HuddlePod Air. The LED corresponding to the button will illuminate when toggled on. For
example, the LED will illuminate over the mute microphone mute button when muted. When the
loudspeaker is set within its normal operating parameters, these lights are off. When the built-in
battery level is low, the LEDs above the buttons will begin to flash. When fully charged, the
orange light stays on when in standby mode.
