Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a BlueAir Bluetooth audio adapter

The BlueAir Bluetooth audio adaptor opens a
whole new world of freedom and sponteneity for
leisure and informal public performances.

Equipped with your BlueAir audio adapter, you
can turn almost any musical or speaking oppor

­tunity into a performance. Whatever audio am­plification equipment is available, from profes­sional public address systems to guitar amplifiers
and even most computers or home entertain­ment systems, you can connect your (or anyone
else’s) Bluetooth headset to make an instant live
sound system. The quality of audio reproduc­tion is great for most small scale public engage­ments, from pub entertainment to village fete
performances. Being extremely easy to use, the
adaptor is also ideal for impromptu or fun audio
amplification in the home or at parties.

The design is based on Bluetooth adaptors de­veloped to allow Bluetooth headsets to be con­nected to non-Bluetooth enabled mobile phones.
It should therefore work perfectly with essential­ly any Bluetooth headset intended for use with
mobile phones. It is not however possible to use
the adaptor with Bluetooth enabled stereo head­phones as these employ a different Bluetooth
“Profile”.

Complete wireless freedom and the ultimate in ‘go anywhere’ convenience
make the BlueAir adaptor the perfect pocket companion for impromptu
amplification.

With BlueAir, your own (or someone else’s) Bluetooth headset and almost
any audio system that may be to hand, you have instant live amplification.

Whether purely for fun or for serious performance, the BlueAir adaptor
can’t be beaten for amplification on-the-hoof with everything from violins
to guitars and vocals.

But its uses don’t end with live music and public address. Plug the BlueAir
adaptor into most computers’ standard audio input and output ports and
immediately your Bluetooth headset can be used for internet phone com­munications using services such as Skype. Not only does it work with non­Bluetooth enabled equipment but with BlueAir, there is none of the added
latency (audible delay) introduced by Bluetooth headsets connected using
Bluetooth dongles or any built-in Bluetooth connectivity your computer

may have.
