Press and hold the Kali logo for 2 seconds. 6.
Tips and Tricks Take these steps to keep audio fidelity as high as possible when using Bluetooth: • • • • • • • • • Always make sure that device that is paired with the MV-BT is turned up to maximum volume, and that whatever app or program you’re playing audio from also has its output volume set to maximum. This will ensure that you are streaming audio at the highest resolution possible from your device. In general, ~80% is a good nominal level for the MV-BT.
