System requirements
Transmit Mode (TX): use the Home RTX with
any device capable of receiving a Bluetooth®wireless
audio signal (Bluetooth® proles refer to this feature
as A2DP). Such capable devices include Bluetooth®
enabled headphones/speakers or adapters such as the
Miccus®Home RTX, Mini-jack AX4, or SR-71 Stealth
Headphones.
Receive Mode (RX): use the Home RTX with any
device capable of transmitting a Bluetooth®wireless
audio signal (Bluetooth® proles refer to this feature as
A2DP). Such capable devices include mobile phones,
tablets, and PCs or Bluetooth®audio adapters such as
the Miccus®Home RTX, the Miccus®Home RTX Mini,

Detailed Instructions for Use
Power on/off
The Miccus®Home RTX supports mini USB power.
Connect one end of the included USB power cable
to the Home RTX USB jack; connect the other end
to a compatible USB power supply unit
(5V/500mA), computer, or television USB port.Any
USB charger that is rated at an output of
5V@500mA or higher is compatible and may be
used with the Miccus®Home RTX.
The included USB cable with ferrite core is for USB
power only and does not offer an audio connection.

7
For optimal performance, always use the provided USB
cable with your Home RTX. Since the RTX is a long
range device and may be susceptible to RF
interference, the USB cable with ferrite core can help
reduce potential interference during operation.
Note: Leave the Home RTX continuously powered
on to automatically reconnect when the last paired
device is within range. In order to maintain memory
of the last paired device, the Home RTX must remain
continuously connected to USB power.
Connecting Audio Cables
The Home RTX ships with the following audio cables:
a. 3.5mm (mini-plug) male to RCA
(red and white) male
b. RCA (red and white) male to RCA (red and
white) male
• In TX mode the Home RTX requires an audio
input source like a computer, tablet, Smartphone,
television or stereo system, etc. that can offer the
Home RTX an audio signal / music to transmit. InTX
mode the cable being used must be connected to the
appropriate input: either RCA (red and white) to the
“TX Audio In” or 3.5mm to the “Line In”. Use the
included cable that is best for your application.

8
• In RX mode the Home RTX receives a wireless
stream of music/audio from a transmitting device
such as a Smartphone or tablet and connects to
your home stereo or speaker system for music
output. In RX mode the cable being used must be
connected to the appropriate output: either RCA
(red and white) to the “RX Audio Out” or 3.5mm
(mini-plug) to the “Line Out”. Use the included
cable that is best for your application.
