System Requirements
TransmitMode(TX): Use the Home RTX with any device capable
of receiving a Bluetooth® wireless audio signal (A2DP), including
Bluetooth® enabled headphones, or adapters such as the SR-71
Stealth Headphones, Home RTX, and Swivel Jack RTX.
ReceiveMode(RX): Use the Home RTX with any device capable of
transming a Bluetooth® wireless audio signal (A2DP). Such capable
devices include phones, tablets, and PCs or Bluetooth® audio adapters
such as the Home RTX, the Home RTX Mini, or Swivel Jack RTX.
DetailedInstruconsforUse
Poweron/o
The Miccus® Home RTX is powered only by mini USB power; there is
no baery to charge.
Connect one end of the included USB power cable to the Home RTX
USB jack; connect the other end to a compable USB power supply unit
(5V/500mA) computer USB port. Any USB charger that is rated at an
output of 5V@500mA or higher is compable and may be used with
the Home RTX.
For opmal performance, always use the provided USB cable which
features a ferrite core to help eliminate radio frequency interference
during operaon. While any USB charger that is rated at an output of
5V@500MA or higher is compable, you may experience buzzing or
less signal range while using another USB cable.
Note: Leave the Home RTX connuously powered on to automacally
reconnect when the last paired device is within range. In order to
maintain memory of the last paired device, the Home RTX must remain
connuously connected to USB power.

ConnecngAudioCables
To connect the Home RTX to other audio devices to receive or transmit
audio, Miccus has included 2 audio cable opons to select from
dependent on your audio needs. You will only need 1 audio cable to
connect the audio.
a. 3.5mm (mini-plug) male to RCA (red and white) male
b. RCA (red and white) male to RCA (red and white) male
To transmit in TX (transmit) mode, the Home RTX must be connected to
an audio source with audio to transmit such as a computer, tablet,
phone, or stereo system, etc.
1. Determine which cable is needed by your audio source (your PC,
stereo, etc.).
2. Connect the cable to the auxiliary output or headphone jack on
your audio source.
3. Connect the other end to the back of the Home RTX to the “TX
Audio In”: either RCA(red/white) or 3.5mm “Line In”.
To receive in RX (receive) mode, the Home RTX must be connected
to a stereo or powered speaker system to receive audio on from a
transming device such as a phone or table.
1. Determine which cable is needed by your stereo or powered
speaker systems’ auxiliary input.
2. Connect the appropriate cable to the auxiliary input
3. Connect the other end to the back of the Home RTX to the “RX
Audio Out”: either RCA (red/white) or 3.5mm “Line Out”.

PairingtheHomeRTXwithanotherDevice
The pairing process creates a Bluetooth® bridge between a Bluetooth®
transmier and a Bluetooth® receiver. The versale Home RTX can
funcon as either a Bluetooth® transmier OR receiver. The pairing
process should take approximately 5-10 minutes.
For quicker, easier pairing:
• Verify the RTX has power and audio connecons completed
• Make sure the RTX and your Bluetooth® device are physically
located near each other during the pairing process, no more
than 3 apart.
• Make sure any previously paired device, Bluetooth®
headphones, speakers, adaptors are turned o so the RTX is
ready to look for a NEW device to pair to.
• Please follow the below steps in a mely manner, without
interrupons for best results.
TransmitMode(TX):
1. Power on and start the pairing mode on your receiving device,
i.e. Bluetooth® enabled headphones, speaker or other compa-
ble A2DP Bluetooth® prole device.
2. Power on the Home RTX: press and hold the power buon
(3 seconds) unl the indicator light begins ashing.
3. Press and hold the RX buon for 3 seconds and release; the
light will ash red and blue indicang it is in pairing mode.
4. Double Press the TX buon (2 clicks) the red and blue indicator
light is briey interrupted, then ashes red and blue again
indicang it is in pairing mode.
5. WAIT for the devices to connect. This may take up to a minute.
6. When pairing is complete, the RTX light will be solid red.
7. To begin streaming wireless audio, simply press play on your
audio source, adjust the volume to preference and enjoy!

Receive(RXmode):
1. Power on the RTX: press and hold the power buon (3 seconds)
unl the indicator light begins ashing.
2. Press and hold the RX buon 3 seconds and release; the light will
ash red and blue indicang it is in pairing mode.
3. Open the Bluetooth® menu on your phone or tablet and select the
Home RTX. If a passkey is required, use “0000”.
4. WAIT for the devices to connect. This may take up to a minute.
5. When pairing is complete, the RTX light will be a solid blue.
6. To begin streaming wireless audio, simply press play on your audio
source, adjust the volume to preference, and enjoy!
Volume:
Bluetooth® devices are designed to send or receive an audio signal, but
are passive with no volume control. Volume level must be adjusted via
the audio input or output source connected to the Home RTX.
Reconnecon
Now that the Home RTX is paired, if le connected to USB power, the
Home RTX will automacally reconnect to the last paired device when
within range.
Factory Reset
To reset pairing memory, simply unplug the Home RTX from USB power
for 20 seconds. The Home RTX remembers only one device pairing at a
me, and once it is disconnected from power it will clear the pairing
from memory.

FAQandTroubleshoong
Problem Soluon
Home RTX does not turn on Check the USB power connecon.
Make sure you press and hold the
power buon for at least 3
seconds.
Audio breaks up or wireless
range is too low
Make sure the antenna is
aached securely and posioned
correctly.
Move the RTX away from other
2.4 GHz equipment such as Wi-Fi
routers and microwaves.
No sound/audio output Check the cables to make sure
they are connected to the correct
jacks.
Press play on your music source
Check to make sure your volume
is set to a listenable level.
Stac or noise in the audio Make sure to use the supplied
USB adapter and cable as PC USB
ports can introduce noise.
Move the RTX away from any
ampliers or powered speakers.
Make sure the RTX is cabled to
the correct line level input or
output on your stereo receiver.

Problem Soluon
Can’t pair my device with the
Home RTX
Make sure the Home RTX and the
device you’re pairing with are
right next to each other.
Make sure all other Bluetooth®
compable devices you’re NOT
trying to pair with are either
powered o or Bluetooth®
disabled.
Make sure you have the correct
mode selected; one device must
be the transmier and one device
must be the receiver. Devices
such as Smartphones, tablets,
and laptops are transmiers, and
devices such as headphones and
speakers are receivers.
Make sure both devices are in
pairing mode. LED equipped
devices will typically ash fast
when in pairing mode and ash
slow when connected.
Make sure your device is
compable with the wireless
A2DP Bluetooth® stereo audio
prole.
