Why Is the Region Setting Important?

The MaxRanger4K Power Hub communicates wirelessly with compatible cameras, so its wireless configuration needs to match the region where the equipment is being used. Setting the correct region helps ensure the system operates according to the applicable wireless requirements for that location.

The Region setting configures the wireless operating parameters used by the Power Hub. Always select the region that matches the country where the system is installed.

Using an incorrect Region may affect wireless performance or cause the system to operate outside local wireless requirements.
