APPLICATION: The D SERIES-BTN44 modules are wall-mounted user Dante audio interfaces that include bidirectional Bluetooth audio,
unbalanced analog stereo or mono audio inputs and outputs, and a balanced or unbalanced line-level output. Stereo audio from a compatible
Bluetooth-enabled device feeds two Dante network audio channels. Stereo audio connected to a front-panel Mini-Jack or L and R RCA jacks
feeds two other Dante network audio channels.
Stereo audio is available to users through a front-panel Mini-Jack fed from two Dante network channels. A rear-panel terminal block provides
either a balanced (+4 dBu) or unbalanced (-10 dBV) output from one Dante network channel. That output may feed a variety of RDL wall
panels to provide a specific mic or line level output to users, or it may be used to feed the audio power amplifier in the associated audio zone.
One Dante channel may be routed back to a connected device through the Bluetooth interface enabling full duplex communication.
The D SERIES-BTN44 modules are powered from PoE. The installer can customize the module name and programming password through
the Bluetooth connection using a smartphone, computer or tablet terminal program. These modules feature studio-quality circuits and analog
filters to provide audio performance exceeding expectations from consumer interface technologies. High performance, simplicity of operation
and efficiency of installation make RDL the best value in professional Bluetooth interfaces.

Fasten this unit into a wall box
or chassis by threading the four
mounting screws (included) into
the corresponding holes in the
wall box/chassis.
Instructions for Bluetooth pairing
These instructions are based on the default RDL unit
identification as RDL_BT_FA. If the RDL unit has been
renamed by the installer, substitute the new name for
RDL_BT_FA in the following steps.
PAIRING
1] Press and hold the PAIR button until the blue LED on
the RDL unit illuminates, then release.
Note: The blue LED flashes as long as the unit is available for
pairing. If the blue LED stops flashing before the pairing process
is completed, restart these steps.
2] While the blue LED is flashing, locate RDL_BT_FA on
your device’s Bluetooth settings and click PAIR DEVICE,
following screen prompts to complete the pairing process.
Note: The blue LED glows steady while the RDL unit is paired.
UN-PAIRING
The RDL unit will unpair automatically 30 seconds after
the user device leaves the area. The user device may be
manually disconnected by pressing and holding the PAIR
button on the RDL unit.
RE-PAIRING
1] Press and hold the PAIR button until the blue LED on
the RDL unit illuminates, then release.
2] While the blue LED is flashing, locate RDL_BT_FA
under Previously Connected Devices on your device’s
Bluetooth settings and click RDL_BT_FA, following screen
prompts to complete the re-pairing process.
Note: If the re-pairing fails, click Forget Device on the user device
and pair the RDL unit as a new device.
Upon successful pairing, the user device applications
for audio playback through a Bluetooth interface may be
used.
