Pairing

What is pairing?

BLUETOOTH devices need to be “paired” with each other beforehand. Once BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need for pairing again, except in the following cases:

• Pairing information is deleted after repair, etc.

• This unit can be paired with up to 8 BLUETOOTH stereo audio source devices. If a new device is paired thereafter, the device with the oldest registration among the 8 paired devices is replaced by the new one.

Continued

1 Press and hold the OPR button for 3 seconds or more.

OPR

The LED status indicator starts flashing very quickly and this unit enters pairing mode.

Note

Pairing mode is canceled automatically if pairing is not achieved within 5 minutes, or manually by pressing the OPR button. If pairing mode is canceled midway, start over from step 1.

2 Perform pairing procedure on the BLUETOOTH stereo

audio source device to detect this unit.

The list of detected devices appears on the display of the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device. This unit is displayed as “TDM-BT1.” If “TDM-BT1” is not displayed, repeat from step 1.

Notes

• When pairing, be sure to place both the BLUETOOTH devices within 1 m (about 3 ft) of each other.

• Some devices cannot display the list of detected devices.

• To operate the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device, refer to the operation instructions of the device.

3 Select “TDM-BT1” on the display of the BLUETOOTH

stereo audio source device.

4 If Passcode* input is required on the BLUETOOTH

stereo audio source device, input “0000”.

When BLUETOOTH pairing is complete, the LED status indicator flashes slowly and pairing information is memorized on this unit.

* Passcode may be called “Passkey,” “PIN code,” “PIN number,” or “Password.”

Notes

• Some BLUETOOTH stereo audio source devices may connect with the unit automatically when pairing is completed. For other devices, you will have to connect to this device manually.

• If you disconnect this unit or the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device, before a connection is complete, pairing information is not memorized, and pairing will not be completed.

When pairing with a BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device that cannot display a list of detected devices or that has no display

You may pair the device by setting both this unit and the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device to pairing mode. For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device.

Note

For devices without a display screen the device must have a default pin code of “0000” to work with the TDM-BT1.

If pairing is not complete Start over from step 1.

Note

Passcode of this unit is fixed to “0000”. This unit cannot be paired with a BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device whose Passcode is not “0000”.

Tip

To pair with other BLUETOOTH stereo audio source devices, repeat steps 1 to 5 for each device.

Connecting

Check “Preparation” (page 7) and “Pairing” (page 7) before operating the unit.

1 Check to see if the LED status indicator flashes

slowly, indicating connection is possible.

Note

If the LED status indicator turns off, perform the pairing procedure, or press the OPR button momentarily.

2 Start the BLUETOOTH connection from the

BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device.

3 Start music playback on the BLUETOOTH stereo

audio source device.

Notes

• After connection is complete, the LED status indicator becomes constant.

• Turn off the bass boost function or equalizer function of the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device. If these functions are on, sound may be distorted.

Continued

To finish connecting

What is BLUETOOTH technology?

BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a computer or digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (about 33 ft).

Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.* You do not need to use a cable for connection since BLUETOOTH technology is a wireless technology, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. BLUETOOTH technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.

* This unit cannot be connected to

multiple devices at the same time.
