Operation Instruction
Power on: Short press button C after connecting the BTA30 Pro to a power supply.
Power off: When the BTA30 Pro powers on, hold button C for about 5s until all
indicator lights turn off.
Play/Pause: In RX mode, short press button D.
Factory data reset/Clear pairing: When the BTA30 Pro powers on and not in pairing
state (in RX/TX/DAC mode), hold button C+D for about 5s at the same time.
Force a pairing: When the BTA30 Pro powers on and in RX/TX mode, hold button C or
D for about 3s until Light Q flashes alternately in red and blue.
Reconnecting state: Light Q will fast flash 2 times in blue every 2 seconds.
Input source switch: When the BTA30 Pro powers on and in TX/DAC mode, short
press button C to switch the input source.
Bluetooth codec switch: when the BTA30 Pro is in TX mode and connected to a
Bluetooth device, short press button D to switch the Bluetooth codec.
Connecting state: if PAIR1 is connected, Light A will be on; if PAIR2 is connected,
Light B will be on; if PAIR1 and PAIR2 are connected at the same time, Light A and B
will be simultaneously on.
aptX LL First
In TX mode, double press button D after the device is connected, so to enable aptX LL
First. Under this state, other Bluetooth codecs will be disabled except for aptX LL and
SBC.
Double press button D again to disable aptX LL First. Light Q will stay constantly on
following the corresponding Bluetooth codec after the device is reconnected. At this
time, all supported codecs will be enabled. Short press button D to successively
switch the codec.
How to connect the BTA30 Pro to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously
RX (Bluetooth receiving): first connect the BTA30 Pro to Device 1, and hold PAIR1 for
about 3s to enter the pairing mode again. On Device 2, search for "BTA30 Pro" and
complete the connection. Back to Device 1, select "FiiO BTA30 Pro" in the Bluetooth
device list and complete the reconnection. You could also restart the BTA30 Pro after
a successful pairing with Device 2, so the BTA30 Pro can be connected to two
Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
TX (Bluetooth transmitting): connect the BTA30 Pro to the Bluetooth receiving
device, Device 1 (PAIR1 is prior as default), and hold button C for about 3s to enter the
pairing state again. The BTA30 Pro will automatically search for Device 2 and start to
pair with it.
Note: When working in LDAC and aptX LL codec in TX mode, the BTA30 Pro cannot be
connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
Audio Input/Output and their Priority
●Bluetooth receiving (RX):
Smart devices can be connected to the BTA30 Pro through Bluetooth and output
audio through its line-out, coaxial output and optical output port.
Output priority: line out, coaxial output and optical output can all work at the same
time.
●Bluetooth transmitting (TX):
Input priority: short press button C to switch the input source.
Transmitting: the BTA30 Pro can be connected to Bluetooth receiving devices such as
the FiiO BTR5 and BTR3K. Audio can be input to the BTA30 Pro through its USB input,
coaxial input and optical input port.
BYPASS mode: after inputting audio to the BTA30 Pro through the optical input port,
the audio signal can be transmitted to Bluetooth headphones. Meanwhile, it can also
be connected to a speaker through the optical/coaxial output port.
●DAC mode:
Input priority: short press button C to switch the input source.
Output priority: 1) USB DAC in: line out, coaxial output and optical output can all work
at the same time.
2) Coaxial in: line out will work.
3) Optical in (not BYPASS mode): line out will work
4) Optical in (BYPASS mode): line out, coaxial output and optical
output can all work at the same time.
Note: UAC 2.0 is supported. When connecting the BTA30 Pro to a Windows computer
for the first time, please go to our website to download the USB DAC driver and
follow the corresponding instruction to install it, so to enable the USB DAC function.
For MAC computers, it runs driver-free.
