Once you power device up - you will notice that Airtame has LED to communicate its status:

  3. Constant white —  On and ready for use
  4. Blue — Streaming
  5. Pulsing green — Updating
  6. Green — Right out-of-the-box device, tune me up!
  7. Purple — Factory reset (button pressed for 10 seconds, will stay on for 5 seconds)
  8. Orange — Network reset (button pressed for 3 seconds) and wireless network connections were dropped

 

Mounting Airtame

Airtame 2 provides flexible mounting options for permanent and non-permanent installations.

Positioning for best connectivity:

  1. Place the Airtame as close to the line of sight with the nearest Access Point (AP) as possible.
  2. Place Airtame within 50 feet (15 meters) of an AP.
  3. Use an HDMI-in that is in the direction of the nearest AP.
  4. Try to avoid placing Airtame 2 behind WiFi blockers like the TV or furniture.
  5. Hide the cabling out of sight by using the adhesive strip.

Permanent vs non-permanent

  • Permanent installations: use the adhesive strips of the wall mount and Aircord to permanently fix the Airtame 2 to the TV, projector or the wall beside it.
  • Non-permanent installations: use only the magnetism of the wall mount to fix the Airtame to a metallic part of the TV or projector. Remember to leave the red seal on the adhesive pads.
