USING YOUR BTC-2X AS A STANDALONE BLUETOOTH AUDIO CONNECTION
The BTC-2X can be used to easily provide Bluetooth audio from a phone or tablet to any audio system.
AUDIO CONNECTION
The BTC-2X can be connected to any audio device using its 3.5mm stereo output connection. Depending on the
input of your audio device, use either a 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable or a 3.5mm to stereo RCA cable to connect the BTC-
2X (cables not included).
POWER CONNECTION
Use the included MicroUSB power cable and the included 5VDC power supply to supply power to the BTC-2X.
Your BTC-2X includes adaptor plates for US, UK, Euro, and AUS power sockets. To change the adaptor, simply press
the button marked “Push” to release the plate and, after aligning the new adaptor plate properly, simply snap it into
place until it clicks.
PAIRING MODE
The BTC-2X has two pairing modes: automatic and manual, which are set via a convenient slide switch on the
bottom of the BTC-2X.
Automatic Pairing
Automatic Pairing is the simplest method and is designed for use in most residential single-family homes or any
environment where it is not likely to have any neighbors or other people close enough to pair their phones or tablets
to the BTC-2X. When not connected to a phone or tablet, the BTC-2X will always be available to pair with any new
device within range that requests pairing.
