Pairing Bluetooth Device to a PC
If you are having difficulty pairing your BT1 earphones to your PC, you may need to update
your drivers. Here are two ways to update your computer driver via the Intel®website.
1. Manually: This requires that you locate your wireless adapter and then download the
specific driver update for that wireless adapter
2. Intel Update Utility: This requires you to download the update app, run the app and
allow it to scan your computer for required driver updates.

BT1 FAQ
Remote + Mic, Telephony, Voice Command and In-App use
Q.) How do I pair my wireless Sound Isolating™earphones with my device?
A.) With the BT1 product OFF, activate pairing mode by holding center button for 7 seconds on
the remote. Navigate to Bluetooth settings in the source device settings, and the device
SHURE BT1 should appear in available devices. Select BT1, and your device should be paired.

Q.) How do I set up multi-point pairing? How do I change active devices?
A.) Multi-point pairing, a feature of Bluetooth 4, is set up automatically—pair a second device
(power cycle by holding the power button down until the earphones turn off, and press again for
7 seconds to enter pairing mode). The playback between devices should be triggered by new
activity (incoming call, new playback). If devices do not automatically recognize the BT1 as an
output device, manually disconnect and re-select the BT1 in device settings.
Q.) Are my wireless Sound Isolating earphones designed for calls?
A.) The Bluetooth 4 protocol has both headset and stereo audio playback features built-in. The
two-way audio and remote functions are included in that protocol, and the inline microphone
located on the right side cable is provided for calls and voice commands.
Q.) Does the cable work with my iPhone/iPod/iPad/Android device?
A.) Any device supporting Bluetooth 4 stereo audio playback and telephony protocols is
compatible, including Apple and many Android devices. We recommend downloading and
installing the latest compatible operating system to ensure all drivers are up-to-date.
Q.) Do my wireless Sound Isolating earphones work with Siri®or Google®?
A.) Yes, hold the center button on the remote for 3 seconds to activate Siri, Google, or any other
voice assistant service. (Source device dependent.)
Q.) How do I use voice commands?
A.) Hold down the multi-function center button (power/answer/end call) for 3 seconds to
prompt voice command software. (Source device dependent)
Q.) What device controls do the cable and earphones support? How do I use them?
A.) The center button may be used for play, pause of media, and answering and ending of calls.
Volume up (+) button can be depressed for 3 seconds to skip forward to the next song. The
volume down (-) button can similarly be depressed for 3 seconds to skip to the beginning of the
song (or to a previous song within approximately 5 seconds of the beginning of a track).
The center button will power down the earphones when held for 5 seconds. Holding down the
power button for three seconds also powers the device back on.
Q.) Will my wireless Sound Isolating earphones work with fitness apps?
A.) Yes, most apps that have audio prompts will work, just like wired earphones.
Note: These earphones will not provide heart rate or other biometrics.
Battery, Durability, Range and Charging

Q.) Are my wireless Sound Isolating earphones IPX-rated for water resistance? Are they
suited to exercise?
A.) The BT1 is not IPX-rated for water resistance. However, the SE112 and SE215 comprise
two of the most durable earphones available on the market today. The cable,
transmitter/receiver, and remote + mic pod are subject to the same stringent battery of tests for
moisture resistance that all of our earphones undergo. Also, when used in conjunction with the
clothing clip, the snug, comfortable fit of the Sound Isolating design and eartips, and wireform
cable (SE215 and RMCE-BT1 only) provides long-wearing comfort, providing a secure seal
with the ear canal during even the most intense workouts. As such, these (and any earphones
paired with the RMCE-BT1) are completely suitable for exercise. However, we cannot
recommend use during any activities where awareness of surroundings are necessary (such as
cycling or driving), and where prohibited by law.
Q.) Why am I experiencing dropouts with my Bluetooth Sound Isolating earphones?
A.) While the Bluetooth 4 protocol defines standard range as up to 10 m (30 ft), the ideal
distance between devices is significantly smaller, especially when outdoors where reflections
are minimal. Similarly, the range can be much further in enclosed spaces, where a lot of
reflections of the signal are permitted. Absorption of signal by skin or garments may impact
connectivity (especially keeping the music device in a pocket with keys, credit cards, which
may act as an unwanted antenna for the phone), and a line-of-sight signal should be established
to troubleshoot any connectivity or dropout issues.
Q.) How long will the battery on my wireless Sound Isolating earphones last between
charges?
A.) When new, the BT1 battery will play back music for up to 8 hours, depending on volume
and type of music listened to.
Q.) How do I charge my earphones? How do I know when the battery is charged?
A.) The supplied USB cable can be plugged into any standard 5V USB connection, including
those supplied with devices, and on computers or laptops. For safety, do not connect to charger
producing higher than 1 A of current.
The LED light will be solid red when charging. When fully charged, the LED will turn off.
Q.) How long does it take to charge the battery?
A.) The battery charges fully in about 2 hours, depending on power source used. A “quick
charge” will get up to two hours of playback on just fifteen minutes of charging time.
Q.) Can I listen while my earphones are charging?
A.) Yes. You can use the product while it is charging.
Use with SE Earphones

Q.) Why would I pick Bluetooth Sound Isolating earphones over wired Sound Isolating
earphones?
A.) Wireless Sound Isolating earphones provide the great sound of wired SE earphones with the
freedom of motion that separating your playback device from your earphones offers. This is
ideal for high-impact exercise (running, spin classes) where movement of the body may cause
entanglement and result in an uncomfortable pull on the ears. Wireless Sound Isolating
earphones are also ideal for travel and commuting, where hands-free media control and
telephony are key features.
Note:
Some airlines permit Bluetooth use in-flight. Check with your airline provider before travelling
with the SE112-BT1, SE215-BT1 or RMCE-BT1.
The wireless Sound Isolating earphones may be ideal for iPhone 7 and other devices that do not
have a standard headphone output as an alternative to the RMCE-LTG (for Lighting-equipped
iOS devices, only).
The MMCX connectors standard on most SE earphones, like the SE215 and SE846, mean you
don’t have to choose between wired and wireless—simply add an RMCE Remote + Mic
accessory cable, RMCE-LTG (for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus), or the EAC64 replacement
detachable cable (if the telephony features of the Remote + Mic cable isn’t required).
Q.) What models of SE earphones are the RMCE-BT1 for?
A.) All models of SE earphones with MMCX connectors, including SE215, SE315, SE425,
SE535 and SE846 Sound Isolating earphones are compatible with the RMCE-BT1.
Q.) Do the BT1 cable and earphones support Bluetooth aptX codec?
A.) BT1 products do not support aptX codecs.
