Overview
Introducing the BlueDriver-M3.
The BlueDriver-M3 wireless audio interface uses Bluetooth® Wireless Technology to add wireless possibilities to your audio mixing console. Model M3 provides 2-way, full duplex voice band audio path when connected to a device
using the Hands Free prole.
HD Voice is available on many third party headsets and cell phones. The 7 kHz audio bandwidth produces rich, natural voice clarity.
Additionally, music bandwidth stereo audio can be heard using the A2DP prole. Be aware that the standard A2DP music prole includes a 150 millisecond
transmission latency.
Overview

Getting To Know your BlueDriver-M3
Mode Switch
In the Bluetooth world, a Master device, such as a wireless phone, computer, or music player, is connected to a Headset device.
Before you turn the BlueDriver on, be sure to set the <Headset/Phone Switch> to the correct position. If you change that switch while the unit is on, you will need to power the unit off, then power the unit back on before the change takes effect.
Select <Headset> if you will be using your BlueDriver with a Bluetooth enabled headset or any device that emulates a headset. Select <Phone> if you will be using your BlueDriver with a cell phone or other master device. See page 17 for more
information on Bluetooth proles for
different wireless applications.

Send Input
A 3.5 mm stereo line level input jack enables you to add audio from another source to this device. Both channels of this input will be sent to the Bluetooth device and not to the XLR jack. If you are connected in A2DP as the Master, you will be able to send stereo audio to a slave device. If you are connected as the Slave in HF mode, the two channels will be mixed together for transmission.

Charging
To achieve maximum battery capacity, BlueDriver should be fully charged
before its rst use. While this battery
will normally charge in about 2 1/2 hours, please allow 4-5 hours for this
rst charge. Connect the power supply
cable to the mini USB connector on your BlueDriver to charge the battery.
The red LED will ash to indicate that
the battery is charging, once charging is complete, the LED will turn off.
If the battery becomes completely discharged for an extended period of
time, the red LED will not ash until it
can begin its charge cycle. This may take several minutes.
If the power cable is connected when the unit is shut down, the blue LED will stay lit. If the unit is in use, the blue LED will indicate the current connect mode.
Feel free to use your BlueDriver while it is charging.

On whichever input channel you have the BlueDriver-M3™ connected, turn the corresponding Aux or FX control to minimum. All other input channel Aux controls should be at their desired settings for the “Mix-Minus” feed returning to the BlueDriver-M3™.
Connect the FX Send output to the Send input on the BlueDriver-M3™. The FX Send output will send all audio except the caller audio.
The Aux or FX Send bus is completely separate from all other outputs, so these Aux controls will not affect what is heard on the Main outputs or on any other Aux or FX buses.

FAQ's
What is the range of the transmitter/receiver?
BlueDriver-M3 transmits and receives audio signals up to 50 feet from your Bluetooth wireless technology enabled device. The maximum range of this product is achieved when a clear line of sight is maintained between connected devices, but may also be limited by interference due to the environment. While this product offers extended range capabilities, maximum usable range is limited by the weaker of the two paired/connected devices. longer distances will require more power, therefore you should keep BlueDriver-M3 as close as possible to your Bluetooth device to conserve battery power.

Transmitting signals over
Why won't the BlueDriver pair with my phone?
If this is the rst time you are trying to
pair to this cell phone, you might be in Idle Mode instead of Pairing Mode and your BlueDriver-M3 is not being recognized. To reach Pairing Mode, hold the <Connect button> in for a full 5 seconds.
Why won't BlueDriver connect to my device?
Ideally, the master device will search for the slave device. If the BlueDriver isn't pairing with your device, try
turning the second device on rst from
your initial attempt to connect.
FAQ's
Why doesn’t the BlueDriver
change connections when I move the switch from Headset to Phone?
If you change this switch while the unit is on, you will need to power the unit off (see page 7), then power the unit back on before the change takes effect.
How long does it take to recharge the battery?
BlueDriver-M3 can fully charge the internal battery in about 2 1/2 hours. These batteries do not have a “charging memory” and they can be recharged at any time without changing their life expectancy.
How long will the charge on the battery last?
Based on tests with BlueDriver-M3 about 1 meter from a Bluetooth wireless thecnology enabled device, the battery should last for about 10 hours under normal use. As an indicator of low battery, the blue LED will grow dim and then extinguish a short while before the battery is completely exhausted and the unit shuts down.
How do I replace the battery in this unit?
This is not a user replaceable battery. Please contact JK Audio or a factory authorized service center for battery replacement.

Safety Precautions
This unit should only be charged at temperatures of 0º - 45°C (32º - 113° F).
Operating temperatures for these devices is
-10º to 60ºC (14º to 140ºF). When not in use, they should be stored as -20º to 45ºC (-4 to 113ºF) to prolong battery life.
While BlueDriver was designed to be very rugged and durable, it is not waterproof and care should be taken to keep the unit dry.
Technical Information
Battery Information
BlueDriver contains a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery. These batteries do not have a “charging memory” and can be recharged at any time without changing their life expectancy. All rechargeable batteries have a limited life and will gradually lose their capacity to hold a charge. This loss of capacity is irreversible. To get the most from your BlueDriver, the battery should not be allowed to fully discharge. If this unit is not in use, the battery should be recharged at least every 90 days. The Lithium-Ion battery in this device is not user replaceable. Please contact JK Audio or a factory authorized service center for battery replacement.
Master(Phone) or Headset Mode
BlueDriver will rst attempt to connect using the Hands-Free prole, allowing
3.4 kHz (7 kHz if HD Voice is available on your phone) telecom bandwidth for a mono full-duplex connection. If
the Hands-free prole is not available,
BlueDriver will attempt to connect in A2DP stereo streaming mode.
Difference between Proles
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Prole): Used for stereo music streaming.
Headset: Facilitates mono, full-duplex audio between two paired devices.
Hands-Free: Similar to Headset
prole, but allows the receiving device
more control over the call, such as volume, accept/reject/end a call.
