Connect the Bluetooth Transmitter to the audio source (TV, DVD
etc) with the 3.5mm, RCA or Optical TOSLINK audio cable.
Connect the Bluetooth Receiver to the audio input of your audio
system with the 3.5mm or RCA audio cable. Consult your audio /
video system user manual for more information on how to
accomplish this.
Connect the Bluetooth Receiver and Bluetooth Transmitter to
power source.
The Bluetooth Transmitter accepts only digital audio input in
uncompressed stereo PCM format. The default digital audio
output of most TVs are PCM. However, in some cases, you may
need to change the digital audio output setting of your TV, DVD,
or set-top box to PCM format.
For some TVs, you may need to turn on the Internal Mute (the
built-in TV speakers) to send audio to the digital and/or analog
RCA audio output jacks on the side panel.
Some TVs do not send audio to the digital audio output in certain
circumstances, e.g. if the input source is HDMI, or if the video
content is not in digital format. In such cases, use the analog RCA
audio connection on the TV side panel.
For PS3 game consoles, select only [Linear PCM 2 Ch. 44.1kHz]
and [Linear PCM 2 Ch. 48kHz] (deselect all others) output format
in the audio settings. If you connect the Transmitter directly to
the optical output of the PS3, set the Audio Multi-Output to ON.

Place the Bluetooth Transmitter within 1 meter of the Bluetooth
Receiver / receiving devices during the pairing process.
The pairing mode will last for 2 minutes. If no devices can be
Switch off the Bluetooth Transmitter and repeat the pairing steps
if it fails to pair.
The Bluetooth Transmitter will save up to 2 device pairing
records, and only those 2 previously paired devices will be
automatically re-connected when the Bluetooth Transmitter is
powered on.
When a third device is paired, the first device pairing record will
be removed.
The internal antenna of the Bluetooth Transmitter has been
fine-tuned to provide a wide operating range. When the product is
properly placed with an uninterrupted line of sight and there is no
radio interference, it can typically achieve a transmission range of
10-20m.
Do not surround the Bluetooth Transmitter with metallic objects
or put it behind any electronic appliances. Doing so will severely
reduce the transmission performance. Please ensure that there
are no obstacles (walls, corners, partitions etc.) between the
Bluetooth Transmitter and the Bluetooth Receiver / receiving
devices.
NOTES
connected within 2 minutes, the Bluetooth Transmitter will enter
standby mode, and (T2) will blink in Blue every 3 seconds.
