How do I install AnkerWork B600?
Option A:
On Top of Your Monitor
Unfold the clip so it fits over the top of your monitor. To secure the clip, press it against the back of your device.
Adjust the video bar up or down, or rotate it to your preferred position.
If the joint between the video bar and the clip is not tight enough, tighten the screw with the built-in handle at the base or a flathead screwdriver (not included).
Option B:
On a Tripod on Your Desk
With the clip folded in, mount the video bar onto a tripod (not included) with a ¼ inch thread.
Note:
We recommend installing the AnkerWork B600 on your monitor. If you are using a laptop, we recommend using a tripod for a more secure installation.
How do I connect AnkerWork B600 to a computer?
1. Connect the video bar to a computer using the provided USB-C to USB-C cable (or other Anker USB-C to USB-C cables with a length of less than 2 m and a transfer speed of 480 mbps).
2. Connect the video bar to a power supply using the provided power adapter (or a USB wall charger with an output of at least 5 V / 2 A).
3. Open the software you want to use with the video bar. The LED indicator will turn blue when the communication software (such as Zoom) is using its microphone or camera.
Note:
1. The USB-A port can only support Anker's wireless headphones (such as the PowerConf H700) with a USB receiver. You can pair your headphones with the video bar for the best experience.
2. The LED indicator will flash red if the power adapter is connected to the data port by mistake.
How do I set up the power adapter?
1. Align the groove of the plug with the pins on the power adapter.
2. Press and turn the plug clockwise to lock.
3. To remove the plug, turn it counterclockwise while pressing the push button.
Note: A general USB wall charger with an output of at least 5V / 2A can also be used to power AnkerWork B600.
How do the indicators work?
When both data and power cables are correctly connected:
- blue means the microphone or camera is in use;
- red means the microphone is muted.
Flashing red means the data and power cables are plugged into the wrong ports.
There are no LED prompts when only the power cable is connected.

Can AnkerWork B600 automatically adjust its image brightness?
1. AnkerWork B600 has both auto exposure and auto white balancing functions, which together, automatically correct the brightness according to the environment.

When should I turn on the edge light?
We recommend turning on the edge light when light conditions are below 30 lux. When using AnkerWork B600 in situations with bright light, the auto exposure and white balancing features are powerful enough to ensure proper brightness is used, but will not make your image overly bright.

When AnkerWork B600 is connected to a third-party conferencing software, the quality of the video image may be affected.

respectively, despite it being capable of supporting up to 2K resolution.
The quality of the video image can also be influenced by the network bandwidth and processing mechanisms used by third-party software.
