Frequently Asked Questions

The Smart Assist App scans for clear frequencies and automatically assigns them. If interference is detected, the app guides you through resolving it, though you might need to adjust antenna placement or consider a different frequency band.
The screw-thread design adds a layer of security, but using a high-quality, strain-relieved cable is always recommended to prevent wear and tear over time.
This base is designed for a single transmitter, but you can expand the system by purchasing additional SK Base units and a coordinating receiver – it’s a modular design.
