BT-105 Thank you for your purchase of the AirTurn BT-105 Wireless Page Turner. We hope you enjoy the wonderful convenience of hands-free page turning, effects (FX) management and other creative ways to trigger events with the BT-105. Please send your suggestions and comments to info@airturn.com. Description The BT-105 will work with most Bluetooth-equipped MAC and PC computers. No additional software is required.
Setup and Pairing To use the BT-105 with your MAC, PC, or iPad, make sure the host computer you are using is in discovery mode. (Check the instructions that came with your computer or Bluetooth USB dongle. For iPad users, go into “Settings”, then select “Bluetooth” and make sure it is turned on). Turn on the BT-105 by pressing the red power button and holding for 1 second. The LED will blink 3 times and attempt to pair with your computer.
Note: You must reset pairing for both devices every time you change to a different host device such as using it with your desktop computer and then with your iPad. Turning off the BT-105 Power Ports 1&2 LED Ports 3&4 USB Turn off the BT-105 by pressing the red button for 2-3 seconds until the LED turns red. Release and the LED will blink 3 more times while the unit shuts down. Turning power off on the host computer will automatically turn off the BT-105 after 3 minutes.
To change the mode back to the iPad mode, repeat the same procedure using the footswitch in Port 3-4 (the jack closest to the USB port). Keep the switch depressed until you see the first blink, then release the footswitch and power switch. You will then see one red blink, then 3 green blinks, then one final red blink.
iOS Virtual Keyboard Some applications require the use of the keyboard to enter text or to interact with the application. Since the BT-105 is an external keyboard, the iPad or other iOS device by default disables its own virtual keyboard. To activate the virtual keyboard, open any text box on the iPad. Then quickly press the power switch while the BT-105 is connected to the iPad. If you close the virtual keyboard from within the application, you can repress the power switch to activate it again.
If the BT-105 is turned off while charging, the LED indicator will not light up, but it will still charge. If you leave the BT-105 on while it is charging, the LED will remain lit and you can monitor the charging status. Red is a low charge, solid yellow is a 75% charge and orange/green is a full charge. Note: If you fail to charge your battery when it begins blinking red, you risk running it down completely which may require a replacement battery.
Tongue and Bite Switches Tongue and Bite Switches are also available from AirTurn or your dealer for special uses. They are used the same way as any other momentary switch. See the specific instructions included with each switch. Troubleshooting The BT-105 is not connecting or pairing 1. Turn off the BT-105. 2. Delete the AirTurn device on your host computer.
7. Touch or click the listing when it appears and it will connect after another few seconds. The BT-105 is connecting but not turning pages 1. Check the mode. This is the most common problem.

With one hand, hold down the right footswitch, (the one plugged in closest to the USB port.) C. Turn on the BT-105. D.
5. Lastly, on an iOS device, try resetting the network. (Note: this procedure will cause you to lose network password settings and they will have to be re-entered.) Select General, Settings, Reset, Reset Networks. Recheck connection after the device restarts. Go to www.airturn.com/support for more information and videos on the BT-105.

Two ATFS-2 Pedal Board Kit The BT-105 or DIGIT may be purchased with 2 ATFS-2 silent footswitches. This option is ideal for many applications in which two switches are needed. For example, it could be used to go forward or backwards in a pageturning application. The ATFS-2 footswitch uses a combination of rare earth metals to close the switch, making it silent and highly reliable for a very long time. There are no mechanical parts to break.
Four ATFS-2 Pedal Board Kit The four ATFS-2 Pedal Board Kit comes equipped with either the BT-105 or the DIGIT. Each footswitch is plugged into the ports in order from left to right. You may change modes using the footswitches as per the Mode directions in the BT-105 section, or using the DIGIT buttons as described in the DIGIT section of this manual.
BOSS FS-5U Footswitches The BT-105 or DIGIT may be used with one or two BOSS FS-5U footswitches. Special cables from your dealer or AirTurn are required and are supplied when it is purchased as a kit. For extra convenience in using the FS-5U, you can slide the two switches together. It is also important to check the “polarity” switch on the FS-5U. Please make sure it is pushed to the right when operating with the BT-105 or DIGIT. The FS-5U switches are plugged into ports 1-2 and 3-4 of the BT-105/DIGIT.
BOSS FS-6 Footswitches The BT-105 or DIGIT may also be used with the BOSS FS-6 footswitch. Note that the FS-6 requires a separate 9V battery to function. AirTurn supplies specially made cables to function with the FS-6. You can also make your own cables with instructions available on the AirTurn website. You may choose to have either one FS-6 or 2 FS-6 devices attached to your BT-105 or DIGIT. There is a different cable for each configuration. The cable plugs into the center jack of the FS-6.
sliding one inside the other’s channel. Due to impedance issues on the FS-6, you may need a splitter cable to change modes. Changing Modes The BT-105 comes set up by default to Mode 3 which will work with most applications. To change the mode, you will need to use the splitter cable provided with your unit (Dual FS-6 units only). To change to Mode 1, insert the splitter into port 1/2, (closest to the red power switch), on the BT-105.
Custom Implementation There are many environmental options that the BT-105 can be placed in, including external power, use with custom codes, embedding with special switching, use with Behringer pedal board and more.
