Receiver Bluetooth Pairing and Unpairing®
Wireless Pairing Setup
1. Power On Receiver:
Flip the POWER switch to “ON”. The receiver will immediately be in pairing mode.
NOTE: The “PAIR” LED will quickly flash blue and red while unpaired.
®2. Ready Your Bluetooth Enabled Device:
Make sure your Bluetooth enabled device has its Bluetooth feature turned on and is within range.® ®
3. Pair Your Bluetooth Enabled Device:®
Find the receiver (JIB/BT5R) in your device’s Bluetooth® settings to connect.
NOTE: Once paired, the “PAIR” LED will slowly flash blue.
4. Play Your Audio:
On your Bluetooth® device, start playing audio.
NOTE: While playing, the “PAIR” LED will remain a solid blue.
Stereo-Link Setup (Optional)
1. Pair Receivers:
To Stereo-Link, you must first pair the two receivers. Power on both JIB/BT5R receivers then press and hold both pair buttons for 2 seconds, when paired both will flash blue quickly for a few seconds.
2. Linking Receivers to Smart Device:
Once paired one of the two receivers will blink between Red and Blue, this indicates it is ready to pair with your Bluetooth device. In your Bluetooth enabled device, scan for devices and locate the JIB/BT5R. Tap it to connect to® ® the receivers.
Disconnecting Stereo-Link, Bluetooth Connection, and Changing Paired Device®
1. Disconnecting Stereo-Link:
To disconnect the Stereo Link, press and hold the “STEREO-LINK” button on either one receiver.
NOTE: The disconnected receiver will be the secondary that did not first pair with the Bluetooth® device. The disconnected receiver’s “Pair” LED will alternate flashing between blue and red.
®2. Unpair From Your Bluetooth Enabled Device:
To disconnect, press the “PAIR” button. The status LED will alternate between blue and red, signaling that the receiver is unpaired and ready to pair to a new device.
NOTE: The receiver will remember the previously connected device for the next use. You can play audio from that same device. To use a different Bluetooth® enabled device, you will need to disconnect from the previous device first.
3. ®Pair Your New Bluetooth Enabled Device:
Repeat the previous pairing steps with your new device.
The JIB/BT5R uses a Bluetooth® 5.0 chip and has a range of up to 100 meters under optimal conditions. NOTE:
Once the JIB/BT5R is paired with a Bluetooth® device, other Bluetooth® devices cannot pair to it. There is always a chance of interference with any Bluetooth® connection. Bluetooth® is in the same frequency band as many cell phones and WiFi routers. These have higher outputs than Bluetooth® and can cause interference.

Receiver Setup
Receiver Setup
1. Pair Your Receiver:
Before connecting the receiver to equipment, it is easiest to go through the pairing process first. If Stereo-Linking two receivers, link the receivers together first as well.
2. Connecting To Equipment:
Plug into any active speaker, amp, or mixer that has XLR Input connections.
NOTE: You can connect to most mixers, amplifiers or other devices that accept line-level inputs.
3. Power:
Make sure the receiver is charged before each use. Alternatively, you can plug the receiver into a power source using the included micro USB cable for continuous power while in use.
4. Adjusting Levels:
Volume can be controlled with the Bluetooth enabled device, most active speakers, amps, and mixers. ®
NOTE: It is recommended to adjust the volume of devices in the following order:
1. Adjust the Bluetooth® enabled device volume higher.
2. If using a mixer, first adjust the input channel levels and then its main output level.
3. The active Speaker/Amp should be the last volume adjustment.
5. PAD Switch:
When plugged into Mic level input, the pad switch can be engaged for appropriate sensitivities. Lowering the input signal sensitivity can help to avoid signal overload and distortions.
