Introduction BluPAL - your Bluetooth Personal Audio Link - brings you closer to the sounds you want to hear. In microphone mode, your BluPAL brings you closer to people – in conversation in a noisy environment, in a meeting at a conference table, or in a crowded lecture hall. In Auxiliary Input mode, BluPAL brings you closer to your electronics – your TV, your iPod™, or even your computer can all stream wireless audio straight to your headset.

Operation Charging the Battery: BluPAL uses a rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery. Unlike earlier rechargeable batteries, its performance and operating time are not compromised by partial charging or discharging. BluPAL will charge completely in two hours, and a full charge will provide up to five hours of streaming audio To charge BluPAL in the base: • Plug the AC/DC Converter into an AC power outlet and into the power input in the base. • Insert BluPAL into the Adjustable Tilt Cradle.
To turn BluPAL on and off: • To turn on, press and hold the Master Control for 3 seconds; the LED will flash green 3 times. • To turn off, press and hold the Master Control for 3 seconds; the LED will flash red 3 times.
Switching Profiles BluPAL is designed to work with standard Bluetooth headsets and stereo headphones. These devices use different Bluetooth profiles: “Headset” and “Advanced Audio”. To switch between profiles: • Turn BluPAL on. • Press and hold both volume up (+) and volume down (-) for three seconds. • The red LED will flash twice. • When in Headset mode, the green LED will flash periodically. • When in Advanced Audio mode, the green LED will be on most of the time, and periodically will blink off.
Pairing and Connecting to a Bluetooth Headset or Handsfree device: Bluetooth devices must be both Paired and Connected: Pairing establishes a secure link between two Bluetooth devices. Connecting creates an audio or control connection between two Bluetooth devices. To Pair BluPAL to ELI or SoundPort: • Make sure BluPAL is using the Headset profile (see Switching Profiles). • Turn both devices off.
Pairing and Connecting to BluPAL Headphones: • Make sure BluPAL is using the Advanced Audio profile (see Switching Profiles). • Turn both devices off. • Put the BluPAL Headphones into Pairing mode: Turn on the Headphones while pressing and holding the Headphone Master Control for seven seconds. The Headphone LED will flash red and blue. • Put BluPAL into auto-pairing mode by pressing and holding Master Control for 7 seconds (or until the LED flashes red and green).
Using with your TV: BluPAL can bring you TV audio in three different ways. Use the microphone: • Select the Omni Microphone • Set BluPAL in front of your TV. Use the headphone jack: BluPAL includes a stereo input cable that plugs directly into most TV headphone jacks. This will give you excellent sound quality but will turn off your TV’s speakers. • Select the Auxiliary Input. • Connect the Stereo Input cable to your TV’s headphone jack.
Using as a Companion Microphone In Conversation: Give BluPAL to your spouse and carry on a conversation in a car or restaurant. Your spouse can use the provided lanyard, clip BluPAL to his or her shirt, set BluPAL in the base, or simply hold BluPAL in the most comfortable speaking position. A conversation in a tough environment is comfortable again. In a Meeting: Put BluPAL in its base, turn on the omni microphone and put it in the middle of the table to hear every word.
