Thank you for purchasing
BluLink™
At Pilot USA we have been instrumental in bringing cutting edge
technology to the aviation market. In 2001 we introduced the first
aviation headset with a cell phone input. Today we are very proud
to present BluLink, the world’s first wireless cell phone and music
adapter for general aviation! BluLink reduces the need for extra cables
and adapters, creating a safer and more trouble free cockpit. Use
your GA headset along with BluLink to wirelessly connect to your cell
phone and music player. BluLink even allows you to wirelessly control
the music. Just use the buttons on the device to select songs on
your Bluetooth music streaming cell phone or portable music player
such as an iPod (NOTE: a Bluetooth dongle may be required and are
available at www.pilot-usa.com)
The manual provides step by step usage instructions for your BluLink
device, however if you have any further questions, please call us at
1-888-GO-PILOT. Also note the warranty information on page 7.

Introduction
BluLink allows you to have a wearable link to your Bluetooth enabled
mobile phone with no cords or wires to get in the way. BluLink along
with your existing aviation headset, works like stereo headphones
allowing you to stream digital music and even lets you control the
music wirelessly. Just use a mobile phone with music streaming
capability or add a Bluetooth dongle to your portable music player.
Make sure the Bluetooth enabled phone or adapter has Bluetooth
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and Bluetooth AVRCP
(Audio/Video Remote Control Profile). These Bluetooth technologies
allow the device to work with BluLink.

Pairing with your phone and/or music device
What is pairing?
Bluetooth devices need to be “paired” with each other beforehand.
Once Bluetooth devices are paired, there is usually no need for
pairing again.
Before you can use BluLink to make a call or listen to music, it must
be paired with your Bluetooth enabled phone and/or music device.
Note: Once you have paired one device (i.e. cell phone) BluLink must
be turned off and back on before another device (i.e. iPod, music
player) can be paired.
