  • ●●●● (4 solidly lit): 76% to 100%
  • ●●●○ (3 solidly lit): 51% to 75%
  • ●●○○ (2 solidly lit): 26% to 50%

FAQ

1. Does the receiver have a battery? Does the receiver need to be charged?
  • Mic Air: The receiver has no built-in battery and therefore does not need charging. It is designed for plug-and-play when connected to a phone.
  • Mic Pro: The receiver has a built‑in battery and needs to be charged.

2. Can the phone be charged while connected with the receiver?

Yes. While the receiver is connected to the phone, you can charge the phone by connecting an external power source to the receiver's USB-C port via a charging cable.
