Troubleshooting:

Poor Range

: Make sure nothing is obstructing the dial face of the radio, 

or the openings along the bottom side of the radio chassis. Try moving 
your Bluetooth device to a different location.

No Sound

: For Bluetooth, make sure the BTU-2 is paired and connected 

to your device. Also make sure the BTU-2 is selected as the audio device 
for streaming audio and hands-free operation on your device following 
the manufacturers instructions. Verify the audio levels are set properly 
on the Bluetooth device.
   For USB, verify that the USB drive is formatted correctly and contains 
valid aac/m4a/mp3/ogg audio files using the correct file extension.

Long Delays

: Do not place many non-audio files on the USB drive. This 

will slow down indexing the drive.
  If the BTU-2 is set to sequential playback and you skip songs/folders 
while the first song is playing, it may take a while for the next song to 
start playing if the indexing process has not yet completed.

  The drive may have a corrupted file table. Reformat the drive as FAT16 

or FAT32 and recopy your files onto the drive.

US Certification:

FCC ID: A8TBM20SPKXYNBZ

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for 

a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These 

limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful 

interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses 

and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in 

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to 

radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference 

will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause 
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be 

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged 

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following 

measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

long. Names such as 

Darryls’ 65 Mustang

 will personalize your radio and 

make it easier to identify if you own multiple FMR/BTU radios. Place this 
file on a USB drive and connect to the BTU-2. The BTU-2 will update its 
name and a 

Voice Assist

 message will be heard.

Bluetooth Audio Levels

:

 The BTU-2 sends commands to the 

connected Bluetooth device to adjust the playback audio levels, but many 
devices require that the user make these settings manually. Usually the 
playback levels for audio streaming, phone calls and 

Voice Command

 are 

all stored separately so must be adjusted separately.  The first time you 
stream audio, take a phone call, or use the 

Voice Command

 feature, use the 

volume buttons or volume slider menu on the device to adjust the audio 
level. This only needs to be performed once on the device as these settings 
are permanently saved in the device.

Bluetooth 

Voice Command

:

 The Bluetooth 

Voice Command

 feature 

allows the user to control their compatible Bluetooth device through voice 
commands. The 

Voice Command

 feature is accessible in all radio modes. It 

is designed to work with Apple Siri

®

, Google Voice

®

 and Microsoft 

Cortana

®

 and other Bluetooth voice interfaces. To initiate a 

Voice 

Command

, twist the volume control back and forth twice towards the 

direction of higher volume or push and hold the optional pushbutton/seek-

button. (this is the same motion that was used to open up pairing) Wait for 

the confirmation tone from the Bluetooth device and then speak the 

command. For example you can say things like “call home” or “play 

Bruce Springsteen”. Check with the manual for your Bluetooth device for 
further information on its support for voice commands.

Bluetooth/USB Streaming Audio:

 

To start playing music from 

either the Bluetooth or USB interface, twist the volume control back and 

forth twice towards the direction of lower volume or push and hold the 

optional pushbutton/seek-button for about 1 second. (you can also use the 

menus on your Bluetooth device to control the audio) Audio will start 

playing from the device that has focus as explained above. To toggle 

between pause and play, repeat the procedure above. When the audio is 

paused, the FMR-2 status LED will blink slowly. If the audio is paused for 
more than about 10 seconds, the BTU-2 will release the FMR-2 and it will 

switch back to normal radio operation. If playback is started again, it will 

continue from where it left off.

For the USB interface, if the BTU-2 remains in pause for more than 10 

minutes, playback will start from the beginning of the last song rather than 

from where it left off. Additionally to change the operating mode of the 
USB interface between random and sequential playback, start by placing 

the USB interface in pause as described above. To select random 

playback, twist the tuning control towards the high frequency end of the 

dial or quickly press the optional pushbutton/seek-button once. A 

Voice 

Assist

 message will confirm the setting. To select sequential playback,
