Bluetooth™ Connection
The QX8PAV unit is fitted with a Bluetooth receiver, which is operated via a rotary control (28)
and play button (27) on the rear panel. When the rotary control is turned fully off, power to the
Bluetooth receiver is off.
If switched off, turn the Bluetooth rotary control clockwise to switch power on to the Bluetooth
receiver. Turning the rotary control up increases Bluetooth output level – halfway is a
reasonable position to start.
Press and hold the Bluetooth play button for 5 seconds and the Bluetooth indicator (26) will
flash blue. If the playback source is already paired, the connection will be made with the
QX8PAV and a chime will sound to confirm this.
If not paired, press the play button briefly again to see the LED flash between blue and red.
At this point, the Bluetooth receiver is made visible to all Bluetooth devices in range.
Scan for Bluetooth devices on your playback source and check for a device called “bluetooth”
(lower case). Select this device and opt to connect and your sending device should state that it
is connected to “bluetooth” for audio output and the LED should flash blue and a beep will
confirm the pairing.
Play audio from your sending device and check for output through the QX8PAV speakers.
If there is no output from Bluetooth, check if there is more than one device in range called
“bluetooth”
In the eventuality that more than one device is called “bluetooth”, try each device in turn until
the QX8PAV main unit is found. Check also that the volume level is turned up on the sending
device.
Once audio is playing through the speakers from Bluetooth, adjust the rotary control (28) to the
required volume.
The QX8PAV Bluetooth receiver has duplex Play/Pause control over the sending device.
Press the Bluetooth button on the rear panel to remotely pause or resume playback from the
sending device. This is useful when the audio is played from a phone in a pocket or on an
armband or from a PC or Mac computer.
Bluetooth on the QX8PAV can only pair to a single device at any one time and should be
operable over a range of 5 to 8 metres.
Turning the rotary control fully down clicks the power off and shuts down the Bluetooth
receiver.
