Bluetooth Wireless Technology Bluetooth Status LED The blue LED on the front of the unit flashes in different sequences to indicate the current connection status. Pairing Mode When in Pairing Mode, the blue LED will flash rapidly at a rate of 100ms on, 100ms off. While in pairing mode, any Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device within range can pair with your BluePack. Once the pairing process is complete the unique device ID is stored in Connection History.
Bluetooth Wireless Technology Pairing to a Cell Phone with Bluetooth Wireless Technology When you're first connecting to a new device, you should be in an environment with no other Bluetooth wireless technology enabled devices within range that might also be in Pairing Mode. 1. On your phone, find and select the option to set up a connection. If this is the first time you have paired with this device, select the option to add an audio device. 3.
Bluetooth Wireless Technology Hands-Free and Headset Mode The Bluetooth interface will first attempt to connect in Hands Free mode to a cell phone, allowing 3.4 kHz (7 kHz if HD Voice is available on your phone) telecom bandwidth. If Hands-free mode is not available, it will attempt to connect in Wireless Headset mode to any product, such as a laptop computer, that allows a Bluetooth wireless audio connection. The Wireless Headset mode offers 20 kHz audio bandwidth.
Bluetooth Wireless Technology Connection History BluePack retains the most recent 16 phone devices in memory. To clear either connection history and return to factory reset, from the power-off state hold the MFB button in for at least 20 seconds. After resetting, BluePack will return to pairing mode. Reconnecting to a Device When reconnecting to a device that is still in BluePack's pairing history, the device that will be in Slave mode should be powered up first.
FAQs What is the range of the Bluetooth transmitter/ receiver? BluePack will transmit and receive audio signals up to 40 feet (12 meters) from your Bluetooth device. Because transmitting signals over longer distances will require more power, you should keep BluePack as close as possible to your Bluetooth device to conserve battery power. Can I pair my BluePack to two cell phones and send my audio to two locations simultaneously? No, your BluePack can only connect to one Bluetooth enabled device at a time.
FAQs If I have an audio source connected to the Aux In jack, will that audio also be present at the Output mini jack? No, the stereo mini jack output only contains audio from the Mic input and the connected Bluetooth device. This input would be a good place to add background music or sound clips during a live interview that is being sent to your broadcast studio via the Headset Interface. Can I send and receive audio at the same time? Yes, you can have full duplex conversations.
