Introduction

To achieve maximum battery capacity, BlueSet should
be fully charged before its first use. While this battery
will normally charge in about 2 1/2 hours, please allow
4-5 hours for this first charge. Connect the power
supply cable to the mini USB connector on the BlueSet
to charge the battery. The red LED will illuminate to
indicate when the battery is charging. Please see page
9 for more information. This device can be used with
the power cable connected if desired.

BlueSet connects directly to the headset jack on your
Party-Line belt pack unit, replacing the dynamic or
electret headset. 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
on before the change takes effect.

Mode Switch

In the Bluetooth world, a device is either a Master (like
a cell phone, sound card or music player) or a Slave
(like a headset or car hands-free kit).

Select Headset if you will be using BlueSet with a
Bluetooth enabled headset or any device that emulates
a headset.

Select Phone if you will be using BlueSet with a cell
phone or other master device.

Bluetooth Wireless Technology

BlueSet will be activated when you press the Connect
button. The blue LED on the side of the unit will flash in
different sequences to indicate the current connection
status as described in the following sections.

Connecting to a Bluetooth Cell Phone

Set the Handset / Phone switch to the Phone position.
Establishing a Bluetooth connection varies with different

cell phones. On your phone, find and select the option to
set up a connection. Press and hold the brown Connect
button on BlueSet for at least 5 full seconds. After you
release the Connect button, the blue LED should flash
rapidly if BlueSet is in Pairing Mode.

Now go to your phone and search for Bluetooth devices.
If this is the first time you have paired with this device,
select the option to add an audio device. When the cell
phone has found the new device, select from the list the
device ID of "JKBSETgpxxxx" where:
g = XLR gender
p = XLR pin count
xxxx = last four digits of serial number

Bluetooth Wireless Technology

Enter “Yes” when asked to Bond with this device. Enter
the pin number as "0000".

When bonding is complete, the blue LED will flash at a
rate of 1 sec on, 2 sec off. Once BlueSet has been
added to your cell phone, subsequent connections can
be made more quickly from Idle Mode.

Tech Notes: There is a difference between “Pairing

Mode” and “Idle Mode”. The first time you connect
to a new device you must be in Pairing Mode.
When you hold the Bluetooth Connect button in for
about 2 seconds, the blue LED will begin to flash at
a rate of 200 ms on and 200 ms off. This first stage
is Idle Mode. Continue to hold the Connect button in
for another three seconds. After releasing the
Connect button, the LED flashes more rapidly,
about every 100 ms. This is Pairing Mode. You
must hold the Connect button in for a full 5 seconds
to reach Pairing Mode. Once in pairing mode, any
Bluetooth enabled device within range can pair with
BlueSet. After pairing is complete, the connection to
that device is secure.

The belt pack Mic/Talk button controls audio from the cell
phone into the intercom system.
