W30 Document Camera Troubleshooting

When the battery capacity is over 20%, it stays green. When capacity falls below 20%, it becomes red in color.
What's the most optimal antenna position for the W30 base?
Position both antennas at a 45 degree angle (See picture below).
Are there anything that I can do to optimize the wireless connection between the W30 base and camera?
Yes! As we know wireless devices are susceptible to interference from other consumer electronic devices in the 2.4GHz band, in particular:
- Microwave ovens often radiate at 2.4 GHz, especially if they are in bad repair;
- Bluetooth devices use the 2.4 GHz spectrum, shared with Wi-Fi;
- Fusion lighting, sometimes used in high-ceilinged areas, can affect Wi-Fi;
- Some cordless phones using DECT technology operate at 2.4 GHz. Try to position the W30 base away from this interference and also away the floor and any metal devices.
What's the maximum distance upon which the W30 camera would still perform?
45 feet. This also depends on whether there are a lot of other 802.11g/n networks around.
Do I need to configure the wireless network on the W30 base to work with the W30 Cam?
No, everything will have been preconfigured at the factory. In the event that you need to bind the W30 base to another W30 camera, you can do it via a binding process as explained in the user's manual.
Can I configure my laptop to wirelessly connect to the W30 base?
No, the W30 Base cannot be configured manually like a regular Wireless router.

How do I power on the unit? Do I need to turn on the camera first or the base first?
Press and hold the power button for around 2 seconds to power on either the W30 base or the W30 camera. It is better to turn on the camera first (takes only a few seconds for the camera to boot up) and then power up the base as the base will then be able to scan the network wirelessly for any nearby W30 camera.
What if I see a "No Signal" on the screen?
Try pressing the "Reconnect" button on the W30 base to have the system re-scan the wireless network for any available W30 camera that it had previously been bounded to.
How do I turn off the on-screen display of the battery, wireless status, and AVer logo?
The W30 only supports the ability to turn off the AVer logo display on the screen, the battery and wireless will still be displayed. To do this, go through the following steps.
- Press and hold the Left button for 3 seconds
- Immediately press the Left and the Menu button together
This will turn off the AVer logo display. Repeat steps 1 and 2 to re-enable the logo display.
When would I need to re-bind the W30 camera and base? What if I have multiple cameras and bases and have mixed them up?
Once it's paired (we offer factory paired service), you do not need to re-bind the system again. In the event that you had to bind a particular W30 camera to a different base, go through the following steps.
- Turn on the W30 camera and let it fully start up
- Turn on the W30 base and let it fully start up. You will see "No Signal" on the screen.
