Working as a Bluetooth Transmitter

Connect BT-DUO to your non-Bluetooth audio-transmitting device, such as a TV, through the audio cable provided.
Flip the TX / RX switch to TX, and long-press the MFB for 3s to power it on (LED Indicator flashes blue)
Quickly double-tap the MFB (LED indicator flashes blue & red alternately) to activate its pairing mode.
Turn on your Bluetooth audio-receiving device, such as a Bluetooth headphone,e and activate its pairing mode.
Put them close to each other within 1ft, and they will pair together within about 30s.

Important TipToto reduce the audio latency to 40ms, your wireless headphones or speakers also need to support the codec of aptX Low Latency. Otherwise, the codec will downgrade to aptX or even SBC.

Do not connect BT-DUO to an amplifier in TX mode, which may cause overvoltage and damage BT-DUO.
If you would like to use it as a transmitter and connect it to your TV, please refer to the user manual of your TV and find the Audio Out ports (3.5mm or white/red RCA), instead of any Video or Audio In ports, and connect BT-DUO with your TV through the audio cables provided (3.5mm male to 3.5mm male audio cable or 3.5mm male to RCA female audio cable). If your TV only offers the digital optical Audio Out ports, you will need a digital to analog audio converter to set up the connection.
If BT-DUO gets stuck and all the buttons stop working, please press & hold the MFB, and plug in the external USB charger to shut down BT-DUO.
