Thank you for purchasing the AirTurn PEDpro hands-
free, Bluetooth foot controller. We hope you enjoy
many years of use from it. From page turning, to effects
management and presentation control, the PEDpro
provides a myriad of uses.
BEFORE TURNING ON YOUR PEDpro
The PEDpro 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 PC’s you can use a
Bluetooth 4.1 USB dongles that support connection to the PEDpro.
A compatible app is required. Apps are listed on the AirTurn
website: http://airturn.com/apps
There are two compatibility modes; AirTurn Direct and HID,
(keyboard). Not all compatible apps will function in both modes.
See the MODES section for additional information.

6
POWER
ON - Press and hold the Power Button for one second and
the LED’s 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 PEDpro until the red
and blue LEDs turn off.

7
MODES
There are seven modes available on your PEDpro. Each mode
sends a different signal for each pedal. The PEDpro is set to MODE
2 by default. (You can also customize MODES 2-6 with the
AirTurn Manager.)
MODE 1: AirDirect
This mode is app specific. If your app offers this option connection
information will be provided. This MODE is also known as PED-
APP-DIRECT or GATT.
MODE 2: Page Turn Mode (Default Mode)
Left pedal = Up Arrow. Right pedal = Down Arrow. This is the
most common MODE for all iOS and Android Apps.
MODE 3: Presentation Mode - PgDn/PgUp keys.
Left pedal = PgUp key. Right pedal = PgDn key. This mode is
primarily for PC /Mac document apps such as MS Word,
Powerpoint, Acrobat, etc.
MODE 4: Media Mode
Left Pedal = Play/Pause Right Pedal=Next Song.
MODE 5: Assisted Technology Mode
Left pedal = Space key. Right pedal = Enter key.
MODE 6: Left/Right mouse click.
Left pedal = Left Mouse click. Right pedal = Right Mouse click.

8
MODE 7: MIDI
MIDI control for sending basic MIDI commands to your app.
Support for Bluetooth MIDI required and special setup for your
tablet or computer may be required. MIDI commands may be
setup using the AirTurn Manager. More detailed instructions
available online.
CHANGING THE MODE
1. Turn on the PEDpro.
2. Press and hold the MODE button. The red LED will flash
once per second from 1 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
LEDS 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.

CONNECTING AND PAIRING
Once the PEDpro is powered on, the blue LED will blink 2
times per second until pairing is completed.
OPEN AND CLOSED PAIRING
New with Version 2 of the PEDpro firmware (the software in your
PEDpro) is 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 PEDpro 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 PEDpro 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.
So 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.

10
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 PEDpro on a device,
restart the Bluetooth and attempt to re-pair with the PEDpro.
CLOSED PAIRING
This method locks one PEDpro 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 connection.
First, delete the pairing from the host device and turn off the
Bluetooth. Then, hold the power button on the PEDpro for 6
seconds. The LED lights will turn off. But don’t release until they
blink 3 more times. You are ready to re-pair.

11
SWITCHING BETWEEN PAIRING METHODS
You can easily switch between Open and Closed pairing methods.
With power turned off, hold down MODE button and then turn the
power on.
You can also change the Pairing method using the AirTurn
Manager.
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 PEDpro.
2. Be sure the PEDpro 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 PEDpro 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 PEDpro is discovered, it will appear in the list of
devices. Tap on the selection. A dialog box will then appear. Tap
on Pair.

12
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 PEDpro 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.
POWER CONSUMPTION
The PEDpro uses an idle timeout function to conserve power. After
two hours of inactivity when powered on and connected, the
PEDpro 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 PEDpro averages a usage of 2μA when turned off and averages
a usage of 5μA when turned on.
VIRTUAL KEYBOARD IN iOS
To turn on the virtual keyboard in iOS, put the cursor
into a text box and press the Keyboard Button on the
PEDpro. Both LEDs will flash once to signify that the button has
been pressed. The button will only work in Modes 2-6. Virtual
keyboard support for MODE 1 is automatic. There is no virtual

13
keyboard option for Android except when using MODE 1.
RECHARGING THE BATTERY
To charge the battery, insert the charging cable into the
micro-USB port and plug the other end into any USB
source. You can also use any micro-USB charging power
supply. Charging from a laptop a computer with a sleep
setting is not recommended. A charge will last for about 150 hours.

AIRTURN MANAGER
To change the configuration of your PEDpro and update its
firmware to the latest available, download the AirTurn Manager
App from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. It is available
for iPad, iPhone, most Android devices and Mac computers.

14
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.
If any firmware updates are available, you will be notified after
the App has connected. After performing the update, the PEDpro
will install it and restart. Remove the pairing from your
iOS/Android/PC/Mac device, power on the PEDpro, 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:
PEDpro 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 PEDpro 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 PEDpro at the end of the serial
number.

15
CARE OF YOUR PEDpro
Wipe down your PEDpro using a damp cloth with a mild detergent
or soap-based cleaner to remove dirt and stains from your PEDpro.
Be careful not to use sharp tools or extreme pressure on the pedal
area as this will reduce the life of the membrane switches.
•Do not get the PEDpro wet or place in direct sunlight for
extended periods of time.
•Do not open the unit other than to replace the battery, as there
are no user serviceable parts.
•Do not put in trash. Please recycle.
