About your Bluetooth adaptor

The Bluetooth adaptor allows you to play audio, play sound from video fi les
and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices such as your moblie phone,
computer, tablet etc. through your Stream 93i loudspeakers. A Bluetooth
connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of approximately ten metres.

Bluetooth adaptor installation

‘Bluetooth pairing’ occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree to establish
a connection and communicate with each other.

When a Bluetooth enabled device is in a ‘discoverable’ state other Bluetooth
devices can detect, pair with or connect to it.

Your Bluetooth adaptor will fl ash its Bluetooth indicator light when it is discoverable
or when it is trying to connect to a previously paired Bluetooth device. When
a device is paired with and connects to your adaptor, the Bluetooth indicator
light will remain lit.

1. Ensure that the Stream 93i radio is either in standby or disconnected from

the mains adaptor.

2. Remove any audio cable from the Auxiliary Input socket and any USB

memory device from the USB socket.

3. Carefully align the USB connector and Auxiliary input connector on the

Bluetooth adaptor with the USB socket and Auxiliary Input socket on the
back of your radio.

4. Push the adaptor towards the back of the radio so that both connections

are made at the same time, keeping the adaptor as straight as possible.

5. Ensure that the Bluetooth adaptor is fi tted snuggly to the rear casing of the

radio as in the illustration on the fi rst page.

Operating your Bluetooth adaptor

1. Ensure that the Bluetooth capability on your phone, tablet or PC is enabled.

You may need to refer to the user documentation for your device, since the
method will vary with each device.

2. Switch your Stream 93i on and select the Auxiliary input mode (please refer

to the user guide provided with your Stream 93i).

3. Press and release the On/Standby/Pair button on your Bluetooth adaptor. Your

adaptor will show that it is ‘discoverable’ by fl ashing the Bluetooth indicator.

Please continue overleaf.

Operating your Bluetooth adaptor cont.

4. Using the Bluetooth settings of your phone, tablet or PC direct it to search
for ‘discoverable’ devices. After a few seconds, you should see a device
named ‘BTA93I’.

5. Select ‘BTA93I’ to cause your phone, tablet or PC to pair with your Bluetooth
adaptor and to establish a connection.

Some Bluetooth devices may require a ‘Passkey’ (an authentication key) in

order to establish a link between devices. A passkey is similar to a password,
although you only need to use the passkey once to establish a link. If your
device asks for a passkey to be able to pair with your adaptor then enter a
code of 0000 (four zeroes).

6. Once the connection is established, the Bluetooth indicator on the Bluetooth
adaptor will remain lit. You can now begin playing music from your phone,
tablet etc.

7. Once playing has started adjust the volume to the required setting.

Note: you may need to adjust the volume control on the Bluetooth source
(phone, tablet or PC etc.) or on your Stream 93i radio.

When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices, for convenience, we recommend
they should be no more than 1 or 2 metres apart. The presence of other functioning
Bluetooth devices during connection may lead to operational diffi culties. Bluetooth
is a short-range radio communication system and generally Bluetooth devices
can communicate with each other clearly within a regular sized room or offi ce.
The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between different rooms will greatly
depend upon the construction of the room and walls etc. Bluetooth communication
range may be substantially reduced if the signal passes through a solid object.

Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your adaptor when
you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their Bluetooth
audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for other reasons
unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function of the connected
device and does not indicate a fault with your adaptor.

Disconnecting your Bluetooth adaptor

Once you have a Bluetooth enabled device connected to your adaptor it cannot
be interrupted by another Bluetooth device unless you choose to break the
connection.

1. To force a disconnection press and release the On/Standby/Pair button on

the Bluetooth adaptor. The Bluetooth adaptor will disconnect and will become
‘discoverable’. The Bluetooth indicator will fl ash and you may then pair the
adaptor with a new device.

2. A new device may be connected by using steps 3 - 6 on pages 4 and 5.

3. To disable the Bluetooth adaptor, press and hold the On/Standby/Pair
button until the Bluetooth indicator is switched off. Press and hold the
button again to re-enable the adaptor. The Bluetooth indicator will fl ash
and the adaptor will attempt to reconnect to the previously connected device.
If needed, go to steps 3 - 6 on pages 4 and 5 to re-establish the connection
in your device.

4. If you no longer want your Bluetooth device to be paired with your adaptor
you will need to delete the relevant pairing on the device. Please refer to
the user documentation for your phone, tablet, PC etc. for details of how to
cancel current pairings.

5. If not using the adaptor for a long time (longer than a few days) we recommend
that the Bluetooth adaptor is removed from the radio.

Bluetooth adaptor removal

1. Ensure your Stream 93i radio is in standby.

2. Press and hold the On/Standby/Pair button to switch the Bluetooth adaptor
to the standby position.

3. To remove the Bluetooth adaptor from your Stream 93i, carefully pull the
Bluetooth adaptor away from the radio and set to one side.

4. Store the Bluetooth adaptor in a cool, dry place out of the reach of children.

Bluetooth capabilities

Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected
Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device
before connecting to your adaptor. All features may not be supported on some
paired Bluetooth devices.

Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, heavy furniture or bookcases will all
reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices to a greater or lesser
extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood paneled walls and offi ce partitions may have a less
severe but noticeable effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window
frames and domestic wiring can also have an effect. You should position your
Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe communication diffi culties.

WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies to
Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is noticed, then
try relocating your radio and adaptor or one of the other devices.

The Bluetooth capabilities of your adaptor enable it to receive audio from many
Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers and
tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your adaptor at a time.
It supports the following Bluetooth profi les and functionality.

● Your adaptor supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profi le) which
is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from PCs, mobile
phones etc. SBC and AAC audio codecs are supported.
