TROUBLE SHOOTING / Q & A

I always find configuring Bluetooth
software to be very difficult. Do you
have any tips to make this easier?

For the first time user, we recommend
that you read these instructions carefully
before connecting your first device.
Bluetooth technology is the preferred
wireless technology, with the set up
steps simply repeated for any Bluetooth
device.

Is “discovering” a new device and
“pairing” a new device two different
things?

Yes. Think of it like tuning stations into
your TV. The same applies to your
headset. First you have to scan for all
stations (in this case, devices) then
decide what station to watch (in this
case, pair with) Note: Remember to
enter the pairing mode on your headset
first before connecting for the first time.

I have paired AO-BT404 with another AO-BT404 can “pair” two devices at the

Bluetooth device (eg. an iPhone) before. same time. You must go through pairing I am now trying to pair with another again with new device and manually re-

device (eg. iPad) and it doesn’t work. connect back to first device.

I am having trouble pairing with WIN7/8.
I can “discover” the headset OK but I
think I do not have the right drivers.

Although WIN7 is a superior operating
system with most drivers already built-in,
in some cases this does not cover the
various hardware configurations built
into the device (eg. PC, Notebook,
Netbook etc) from the manufacturer. In
this case, please visit the manufacturer’s
web site for the latest Bluetooth drivers
for you’re on board Bluetooth device.

Is there a function to remind me when I
have reached the normal operating
distance of the device

Yes. Once you have breached the normal
operating distance for the device an
audible “beep beep” noise will sound.
You will then need to reconnect (only)
the device.
