Set-up Guide____________________________________________________________
1. Connect Mini USB 2.0 cable from HuddlePod(s) to PC or USB power supply for charging
(Orange LED is lit when charging. A full charge may take up to 5 hours to complete)
2. Once fully charged press the power button on each chat pod to turn the chat pod(s) on
3. Connect wireless receiver directly to Windows, Mac, or Linux computer in an available USB 2 / 3 port
and allow the drivers to fully install
USB Power Supply & Charging______________________________________
1. This device is provided with a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery. Before use of the device for the
first time, charge the battery fully (may take up to 5 hours for a full charge)
2. When one end of the USB cable is inserted into the USB port on the device and the other end to the
USB port on the computer, or to a USB power supply, power will be supplied to the device and the
built-in battery will begin charged. At the same time, the device will be automatically powered on
3. When charging is complete you can disconnect the USB cable from the device for portability.
Remember to always turn off the device before storing or travel
4. In the event of a low battery while in use 6 orange LEDs above the buttons will begin to flash
5. Lithium ion batteries should not be left in a fully discharged state for a significant period or damage to
the battery, resulting in the voltage dropping below the battery protection circuit shutoff point, can
occur rendering the battery un-chargeable. Whenever the HuddlePod Air2 shuts down due to battery
discharge please recharge as soon as possible
Note: A full recharge is not required to maintain battery life, however while lithium ion batteries will
provide the longest run time from a full charge they will provide more charge-discharge cycles with
shallower cycles (i.e. do not fully charge / do not fully discharge). Decisions regarding how to maintain
your HuddlePod Air2 battery will depend upon your intended session length(s)
Note: Any USB charger without a Safety Certificate or not intended for lithium ion batteries, may cause
explosion or damage to this chat pod
Note: As a consumable, the built-in battery will gradually lose its total capacity (run time) between
charges –after repeated charge-discharge cycles. Full charge / discharge cycle rating is 300-500 cycles
to reach 80% of original capacity depending upon environmental factors, such as ambient temperature

Troubleshooting_______________________________________________________
Audio is not coming out of the HuddlePod Air Duo Speaker
•Is the HuddlePod turned on?
oIf there are no LEDs lit on the pod, press and hold the power button for 3 seconds. If no LEDs
light, the battery is discharged. Charge the battery or use the pod with the AC power adapter
connected.
•Is the HuddlePod Air connected to the PC?
oDo the 3 blue LEDs blink? If so, the wireless adapter is not connected to the PC. This LED will
stop blinking once the adapter is successfully connected. Make sure that the PC with adapter is
within the wireless signal range of the pod.
•Check the audio parameters on the PC’s operating system, that has the receiver attached.
oFor example, in Windows, check the “sound” control panel and make sure that the HuddlePod
Air2 is selected as the active “playback device”.
