Wireless Connection
• While the MiniStation Air is connected to a computer with the USB data cable, Wi-Fi is disabled.
Unplug the USB data cable before connecting wirelessly.
• Up to 8 devices can be connected wirelessly to the MiniStation Air.
• When the MiniStation Air is connected to the Internet through a wireless router (Internet mode), the wireless
throughput to and from your portable device drops to half.
With this configuration, only a single connected wireless device is recommended.
• Network addresses on the 192.168.14.xxx subnet are reserved for use by the MiniStation Air. When the
Ministation Air is connected to a wireless router, the IP address of the router should be on a different subnet
(anything besides 192.168.14.xxx). For example, 192.168.11.1 or 192.168.15.1 would work fine for the router.
• The MiniStation Air may not detect a wireless router if more than 20 are in the vicinity.
• When the MiniStation Air is connected to a wireless router by WPS, do not disable WPS in the router's settings.
Doing so will disconnect the MiniStation Air.
• If "Disclose to Network" is enabled, you can access the MiniStation Air wirelessly through the access point instead
of directly connecting your mobile device.
It is highly recommended to disable this feature when the MiniStation Air is on a public network.
Enable this feature only when you want to share the data stored in the MiniStation Air.
Charging
• To charge the MiniStation Air, it is recommended that you use the supplied USB power cable and AC adapter to
connect the MiniStation Air to an outlet.
If the MiniStation Air is charging through a PC, the charge time will vary depending on the computer. Charge
times will slow significantly if the MiniStation Air is also in use at the time.
• If the MiniStation Air is charged while connected wirelessly, the battery LED may turn off and charging may not
be performed.
• If the MiniStation is charging while connected wirelessly, the internal temperature can exceed 45°C (113° F).
Charging will automatically stop if 45°C (113° F) is exceeded, and start again once temperature drops to a safe
level.
