are made, and fortunately they are all
very simple.
Searching mode
When the ARS50 is in SEARCHING
MODE (which is indicated by a slow
fl ashing of the indicator light), the
ARS50 is attempting to automatically
connect to the most recently connected
Bluetooth device.
When you turn on the ARS50, it will
search for the most recently connected
Bluetooth device for 30 seconds. If
the Bluetooth wireless mode on your
Bluetooth device is activated, the
ARS50 will connect to your device
automatically.
When your Bluetooth device goes out
of the reception range, the ARS50 will
enter Searching mode and will attempt
to automatically reconnect to your
device when that your device comes
back into range within 2 minutes.
(See the Bluetooth range section on
Bluetooth wireless technology range)

re-pairing every time.
• The term “Bluetooth device”
is used frequently in these
instructions. So what is a
“Bluetooth device”? The
answer is simple. This would
be any mobile phone or
mobile tablet or netbook
or computer which has at
least both of the following
capabilities:
a) Is equipped with Bluetooth
wireless technology:
Bluetooth version 2.1 and
A2DP.
b) Can playback audio content
such as mp3 fi les, etc.
• You can always enter
Pairing mode by pressing
and holding while in
either SEARCHING MODE or
BLUETOOTH IDLE MODE.
• If during SEARCHING MODE
(
indicator light is fl ashing
slowly), you wish to quickly
connect any other Bluetooth
device (including those
previously paired), simply
press/hold the button to
enter PAIRING mode, and
proceed to PAIR the Bluetooth
device (see PAIRING section).
• Generally when the user
disables the Bluetooth wireless
connection on a connected
Bluetooth device the ARS50
will enter Bluetooth Idle
mode which means that the
ARS50 would be available
for other previously paired
Bluetooth devices to connect
(See Bluetooth Idle Mode
section for more information).
However, in some cases,
the disabling of Bluetooth
wireless connection on
the connected Bluetooth
device may not result in the
ARS50 immediately entering
Bluetooth Idle mode, and may
enter Searching Mode. (See
Searching Mode section for
more information)
