allows Bluetooth® devices to find your
phone. Enable this setting.
3. Turn the input selector switch to Bluetooth®.
4. Follow the voice commands.
5. The BlueTube Audio Amplifier will show up
as “BT-1A” on your devices menu.

Notes on Using Bluetooth®.
• The BlueTube amp and your device should remember each other.
As long as your device’s Bluetooth® is still on, it should auto connect
to the BlueTube Audio Amplifier.
• After a period of no connection, the Bluetooth® module will power
down. Move the selector knob from Bluetooth® to Aux 2 then back
to Bluetooth® to reconnect.
• Bluetooth® on any amp especially a vacuum tube amp is a
convenience. It does not and never will deliver the best audio
quality. For convenience you can use the Bluetooth® module,
however, for the best quality use the Aux 1 and Aux 2 inputs.
Bluetooth® must compress your audio, send it over the airwaves,
then uncompress it again. This will result in deterioration of audio
quality.
• Bluetooth® audio uses RF to transmit the audio. Being encased in
a vacuum tube amplifier could result in some noise being picked up
from the high voltage transformers. This will usually only be noticed
at very low volumes.
