MISCELLANEOUS

Multipoint Connections

If you have stored pairing information for multiple devices and more
than one of those devices have Bluetooth enabled at the same time,
your BE6i will enable multipoint connection.

Multipoint connection allows your BE6i to hold connections with two
devices at the same time while playing audio signal from only one of the
two devices.
Multipoint connection works in the following ways:

• Your BE6i automatically connects with the most recently paired device
(“Primary device”).

• You must manually connect the second device (“Secondary device”) to
your BE6i via its operating system.

• The BE6i will prioritize the audio from Primary device.

• You can control Primary device using the BE6i in line controller.

• When Primary device is idle, your BE6i can receive audio from

Secondary device.

• Secondary device must be controlled directly from its operating
system.

• Simultaneous audio from both devices is disabled.

Restore Factory Settings

When you restore the BE6i to its factory settings, the paired devices
stored will be deleted.
To restore factory settings:

1 Ensure that your BE6i are not connected to any device.
2 Put the BE6i in pairing mode.
3 Press simultaneously the Power/Function, Volume Up, and Volume

Down buttons for 2 seconds until the LED indicator flashes red five times
and you hear five short tones from the BE6i.

Because all pairing information is deleted after restoring factory settings,
the BE6i will directly enter pairing mode once powered on.
