Frequently Asked Questions

Infrared is generally faster and more precise for initial pairing, but requires a direct line of sight between the transmitter and receiver, which can be a limitation.
While technically possible, it’s not officially supported, and compatibility isn’t guaranteed – sticking with Nexadyne capsules is the safest bet.
Realistically, expect around 100-150 feet with clear line of sight, though obstructions can significantly reduce that distance.
