Thank you for purchasing an AirTurn BT200S
Bluetooth controller. We hope you enjoy many
years of use from it. From page turning, to effects
management and presentation control, the BT200S
provides a myriad of uses.
BEFORE TURNING ON YOUR BT200S
The BT200S works with most Bluetooth 4 devices. This
includes iPad 3 and later, iPhone 4S and later, and most
devices running Android 4.3 or later with Bluetooth 4.
Most PCs and Macs equipped with Bluetooth 4.x and HID
(keyboard) support are compatible. For older PCs you can
use Bluetooth 4.1 USB dongles that can connect to the
BT200S.
A compatible app is required. Apps are listed on the
AirTurn website: http://airturn.com/apps
There are three compatibility modes: AirTurn Direct, HID,
(keyboard), and MIDI. Not all compatible apps will
function in every mode. See the MODES section for
additional information.

BT200S CONTROLS
The BT200S series uses the same controls for both models, just
with 2 or 4 footswitches. The controls consist of a power button,
two LED indicators, and a power port for an external power
supply or the internal rechargeable battery. Switches are in
numerical order left to right, the function of each switch is
explained on page 10.
POWER
ON - Press and hold the Power Button for one second and the
LEDs flash.
The blue LED will begin to blink 2 times per second until pairing
is started.
OFF - Press and hold the Power Button on the BT200S until the red
and blue LEDs turn off.

6
CONNECTING AND PAIRING
Once the BT200S is selected for pairing, the blue LED will
blink 5 times per second until pairing is completed.
OPEN AND CLOSED PAIRING
The BT200S has the ability to pair to your tablet or computer two
different ways. We call them Open and Closed pairing. Open
pairing is the default method.
OPEN PAIRING
This is the new way in which BT200S devices pair and is the same
way that almost all Bluetooth devices pair. In Open Pairing you do
not need to delete the pairing to connect to another device so you
can easily connect your BT200S to your iPad, smartphone or
computer. In fact, you can connect up to 8 Bluetooth devices. (In
MODE 1 (AirDirect) you can pair to unlimited devices).
Bear in mind you can only be connected to one device at a time.
If two of your devices have Bluetooth turned on, you must turn
off the Bluetooth of the one you do not wish to connect to while
you connect to the other device. No reset is required with Open
Pairing.
If you connect to more than 8 devices, the next pairing will delete
the earliest pairing. If you delete or “forget” the pairing of the

7
BT200S on a device, restart the Bluetooth and attempt to re-pair
with the BT200S.
CLOSED PAIRING
This method locks one BT200S to one tablet, phone or computer.
Use this method if you only intend to be connected to one
tablet, phone or computer. Also, use this method if you are in an
ensemble with other players using AirTurn devices. It will ensure
that you don’t inadvertently connect to each other’s devices.
Pairing is required in all MODES.
RESET PAIRING
To delete all pairings, or if you would like to connect to another
device, or you are having connection problems, you can pair again
by removing all the existing pairing connections.
First, delete the pairing from the host device and turn off the
Bluetooth. Then, hold the power button on the BT200S for 6
seconds. The LEDs will turn off, but don’t release until they blink
3 more times. You are now ready to pair again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN PAIRING METHODS
You can easily switch between Open and Closed pairing methods.
With power turned off, hold down the MODE button while turning
the power on. You can also change the Pairing method using the
AirTurn Manager App.

8
PAIRING IN AIRDIRECT MODE 1
Note: This MODE is for AirDirect specific apps only. AirDirect
MODE was created to prevent conflicts with the virtual keyboard.
1. Power on the BT200S.
2. Be sure the BT200S is in MODE 1. (Hold down the
MODE button for 1 blink of the red light.)
3. Go to your app and find the Bluetooth setup screen.
4. Find the BT200S in the device list and tap on it.
5. If required, tap on the Pair button in the dialog box.
PAIRING IN MODE 2-6 (KEYBOARD/MOUSE)
Open your devices Bluetooth Setup dialog:
iOS – Select Settings > Bluetooth and turn on the Bluetooth if it is
off. When the BT200S is discovered, it will appear in the list of
devices. Tap on the selection. A dialog box will then appear. Tap
on Pair.
Android – Select Settings > Bluetooth, and turn it on if it is off.
Make sure your device is set to discoverable, then tap the SCAN
button. When the BT200S appears, tap to pair. If you are asked to
verify the passcode, click on OK.
PC – Select Control Panel > My Bluetooth Devices > Select “Add
a device” > Click next and complete pairing.
Mac – Select Apple > System Preferences > Bluetooth and turn
on Bluetooth.

MODES
There are seven modes available on your BT200S. Each mode
sends a different signal for each pedal. The BT200S is set to MODE
2 by default. You can also customize MODES 2-6 with the
AirTurn Manager.

CHANGING THE MODE
1. Turn on the BT200S.
2. Press and hold the MODE button. The red LED will flash
once per second from1 to 7 flashes. The number
of flashes corresponds to the MODE number.
Be sure to count the flashes.
3. Release the MODE button following the number of
flashes that reflects the desired MODE. The blue and red
LED will flash together the number of times indicating
which MODE has been set.
Example: To set MODE 2, hold the MODE button for 2
flashes of the red LED, release, and both LEDs will flash 2
times to confirm the MODE 2 setting.
Note: Once the MODE has been set, it will remain the same
until it is changed following the above steps.
VIRTUAL KEYBOARD IN iOS
To turn on the virtual keyboard in iOS, put the cursor into a text
box and press the Power Button. Both LEDs will flash once to
signify that the button was pressed. The button will only work in
Modes 2-6. Virtual keyboard support for MODE 1 is automatic.
This is not available for Android except when using MODE 1.

11
POWER CONSUMPTION
The BT200S uses an idle timeout function to conserve power. After
two hours of inactivity when powered on and connected, the
BT200S will power down automatically. The timer is reset when
any button is pressed. You can change this time out period or turn
it off completely using the AirTurn Manager software.
The BT200S averages a usage of 1160 μA when powered on and
5 μA when off.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
To charge the battery, insert the charging cable into the port
and plug the other end into any USB source. You can also
use a center negative power supply that is 5-9 V (9V
preferred). Charging from a laptop or a computer with a
sleep setting is not recommended. A charge will last for about 200
hours.

AIRTURN MANAGER
To change the configuration of your BT200S and update its
firmware to the latest available, download the AirTurn Manager
App from the Apple App Store or Google PlayStore. It isavailable
for iPad, iPhone, most Android devices and Mac computers.
The App allows you to configure the key repeat rate, power saving
settings, select pairing method and configure the signals for each
of the pedals in each mode.

13
If any firmware updates are available, you will be notified after
the App has connected. After performing the update, the BT200S
will install it and shut down. Remove the pairing from your
iOS/Android/PC/Mac device, power on the BT200S, and
reconnect.
UNIT IDENTIFICATION
The unit name in your Bluetooth host consists of several codes to
help with support and identifying your specific device. For
example:
BT200S v2.1.0 ABCD
V2.1.0 refers to the firmware number.
ABCD refers to the MAC address.
This is helpful if there are many BT200S units in the same location.
Your MAC address will always be the same so you can easily
identify your unit. You will find your specific MAC address
labeled on the bottom of your BT200S at the end of the serial
number.
CARE OF YOUR BT200S
Wipe down using a damp cloth with a mild detergent or soap-
based cleaner to remove dirt and stains from your BT200S.
•Do not get the BT200S wet or place in direct sunlight for
extended periods of time.
•Do not open the unit, as there are no user serviceable parts.
•Do not put in trash. Please recycle.
