Thank you for being an OontZ Bluetooth Adapter Owner!
This User Guide rst covers the steps to connect your OontZ Bluetooth Adapter to your TV or
device (Laptop, Computer, Tablet, Mac, iPad, or Music Receiver), with the included Digital
Audio Optical Cable or the 3.5mm Audio Cable. Then the steps to connect the OontZ
Bluetooth Adapter wirelessly over Bluetooth to one or two of these Supported OontZ Speaker
Models:
SUPPORTED OONTZ SPEAKER MODELS
- OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA
- OontZ Angle 3XL ULTRA
- OontZ Angle 3 RainDance
• To connect and play to two OontZ Speakers both speakers must be the same model.
• The OontZ Bluetooth Adapter will only work with the Supported OontZ Speaker
Models, for the latest list of supported OontZ speakers please visit
TheOontZ.com/BT-Adapter
The OontZ Bluetooth Adapter is designed to transmit the audio from your TV or device to the
OontZ Speaker(s) with our Low latency Feature. The Low Latency Feature reduces delays that
occur in the Bluetooth transmission of the audio which can cause lip sync issues when playing
a video on your TV or device and playing the audio wirelessly through one or two OontZ
Speakers.

Before Getting Started with your OontZ Bluetooth Adapter please
review these important notes:
OontZ Speaker Firmware Version Requirements
Your OontZ Speaker(s) need to be on the current version of Firmware, to work with the OontZ
Bluetooth Adapter:
Current Firmware Requirements
- OontZ Angle 3 ULTRA: Version 2.15 or later (please see page 19 for instructions on how to check
Firmware Version)
- OontZ Angle 3XL ULTRA: Version 3.3.6 or later (please see page 20 for instructions on how to
check Firmware Version)
- OontZ Angle RainDance: All versions of Firmware work with the OontZ Bluetooth Adapter
If your OontZ Speaker(s) are on an earlier Firmware version, you will need to update each speaker to
the current Firmware version. If you have two OontZ Speakers, they both need to be on the same
current version of Firmware.
Volume Control
Some model TVs (and other devices) when connected to the OontZ Bluetooth Adapter are not able
to adjust the volume playing through the OontZ Speaker(s) by the TV’s remote control or physical
buttons on the TV. In this case you will need to use the volume buttons on each speaker to adjust
the volume. If your TV allows the volume playing through the OontZ Speakers(s) to be adjusted
from the TV’s remote control we would recommend that you initially set the volume on each
speaker to maximum using the volume buttons on each speaker and use the remote control to
adjust volume.
