Overview
Introducing the BlueSet.
These headset interfaces plug directly into most Party- Line (PL) belt packs,
replacing the wired headset. A 3.5 mm stereo headset jack contains a mic level
output signal suitable for recording, with the beltpack headphone signal on
the left channel, and the Bluetooth return signal on the right. A switch selects
between connection to a 3rd party Bluetooth headset or a cell phone.
Headset Connect: Leave your belt pack on the desk as you walk around the
room. Some Bluetooth headsets allow you to switch between two phones, or in
this case, switch between your intercom and your cell phone.
Phone Connect: Pair BlueSet to your cell phone to grant remote access to the
Party-Line for a distant member. The belt pack Mic/Talk button controls audio
from the cell phone into the intercom system.
Headset Compatibility: Female and Male XLR four and ve pin versions
available: BlueSet-F4, BlueSet-F5, BlueSet-M4, BlueSet-M5.

Getting To Know your BlueSet
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 BlueSet 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 BlueSet with a Bluetooth
enabled headset or any device that
emulates a headset. Select <Phone>
if you will be using your BlueSet with
a cell phone or other master device.
See page 8 for more information on
Bluetooth proles for different wireless
applications.

Mic Trim
A small at blade screwdriver can be
used to adjust the <Mic Trim> pot on
the back of the unit. This adjusts the
level of the audio coming from the
Bluetooth wireless technology enabled
device as it is sent into the beltpack
headset connector.
Recording Output
A 3.5 mm stereo output jack contains
a mic level signal suitable for
recording, with the clean mic signal
on the left channel and the Bluetooth
wireless technology return audio on
the right.

Charging
To achieve maximum battery capacity,
BlueSet 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 BlueSet 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
BlueSet while it is charging.

Wireless Applications
Master(Phone) or
Headset Mode
The Master device controls the
connection, and also has the
ability to stream stereo A2DP
audio to the Headset device.
A2DP music streaming is a oneway path from Master(Phone) to
Headset. BlueSet can act as either
a Master or Headset. Please note
that wireless phones typically
cannot receive A2DP stereo music
streaming.
BlueSet will rst attempt to
connect using the Hands-Free
prole, 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 prole is not available,
BlueSet Wireless Headset Interface
8
BlueSet will attempt to connect in
A2DP stereo streaming mode.
What is the Difference
between Proles?
Headset: Facilitates mono,
full-duplex audio between two
paired devices.
Hands-Free: Similar to Headset
prole, but allows the receiving
device more control over the call,
such as volume, accept/reject/end
a call.
FAQ's
What is the range of the
transmitter/receiver?
BlueSet 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.
Transmitting signals over longer
distances will require more power,
therefore you should keep BlueSet as
close as possible to your Bluetooth
device to conserve battery power.
Why won't the BlueSet 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 BlueSet is not being recognized.
To reach Pairing Mode, hold the
<Connect button> in for a full
5 seconds.
Why won't BlueSet connect to
my device?
Ideally, the master device will search
for the headset device. If the BlueSet
isn't pairing with your device, try
turning the second device on rst from
your initial attempt to connect.

FAQ's
What kind of intercom
headset jack is BlueSet
compatible with?
BlueSet can be used to replace an
electret or dynamic intercom headset.
Why doesn’t the BlueSet
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?
BlueSet can fully charge the internal
battery in about 2 1/2 hours. These
BlueSet Wireless Headset Interface
10
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 BlueSet about 1
meter from a Bluetooth 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.
Technical Information
Battery Information
BlueSet 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 BlueSet, 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.
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 BlueSet was designed to be very
rugged and durable, it is not waterproof
and care should be taken to keep the
unit dry.
