B-Speech Tx User Manual
Introduction
The PMR Bluetooth Stereo transmitter (Tx) offers the latest innovation in Bluetooth technology. The Tx unit
transfers stereo audio sound from a music or audio player to a Bluetooth stereo headset or other Bluetooth wireless
receiver. The music source can be used with almost any device that has a 3.5mm jack socket such as an MP3 play-
er or an Apple iPod.
Normally the Tx and a stereo headset will 'plug and play'. The Tx will search, pair, and connect itself automatically
to a stereo headset that is in paring mode1. The Tx unit plugs into your MP3 player, iPod or other playback device
and, using Bluetooth technology, wirelessly sends music to your Bluetooth Stereo headset. Provided your receiver
or your Bluetooth stereo headset is within range of the Tx unit you will be able to listen to music from your music
player - wirelessly.
Getting started
Remove all components from the package. Items in the pack include: Tx transmitter, USB Charging cable and this
User Guide. Please check the contents carefully and contact your local dealer immediately if anything is missing or
damaged.
Getting to know your Tx
Charging the Tx
Before using the Tx, you must charge it for approximately 2 hours. Fully charged, it can provide up to 5 hours of
playing time.
To Charge the Tx
1. Insert the mini USB-B plug of the charging cable into the mini USB-B socket on the Tx.
2. Insert the USB-A plug on the other end of the USB charging cable into a powered USB-A socket on a PC or
laptop computer. During charging, the LED will be on constantly.
3. When charging is finished, the LED will turn off.
4. Unplug the USB charging cable.
Pairing your Tx and a Stereo Headset or Receiver
Pairing is the Bluetooth process of establishing a wireless link between the Tx and a receiver such as a stereo head-
set. Before you can use Tx with the headset you must pair both devices. Normally you only have to do this once.
After pairing is complete the units will (provided they are within range) find each other and reconnect automatically
at switch on.
Important Note (1):
Tx will only pair with headsets that have one of the following built-in PIN codes: '0000' or '1234'
After pairing is complete, you can use the Tx only with the Bluetooth stereo headset/ audio receiver that you just
paired with. If you wish to use the Tx with a different Bluetooth stereo headset/ audio receiver, you'll need to redo
the pairing process with the new device. In this case the Tx will no longer work with the previously paired Bluetooth
stereo headset/ audio receiver unless you pair them again.
The Pairing process.
1. Before you commence pairing please ensure that both units are fully charged.
2. Try to ensure that no other nearby Bluetooth devices are active or in pairing mode.
3. Turn on your Bluetooth stereo headset and ensure it is in paring mode (check the User Manual of your headset
if you are not sure about this)
4. With the Tx turned off, turn on Tx by sliding the miniature ON/OFF switch to the ON position. The blue LED will
flash quickly. Now the Tx is in pairing mode.
5. Ensure the units are within 3 metres of each other.
6. The two units should find each other and pair. This is indicated on the Tx by the blue LED which will begin to
flash slowly.
Switching your TX On / Off
The Tx and stereo headset combination should be easy to use. Normally, once they have been paired, switching
them on is all that you have to do. All the other operations will be carried out automatically.
To turn on your Tx - Move the Power button to "ON", the blue LED will flash to indicate Tx is turned on.
To turn off your Tx - Move the power button to "Off", the blue LED will stop flashing.
To turn your headset or other Bluetooth stereo receiver on and off please refer to the User Manual.
Playing Music
1. With the Tx turned on, plug it into the audio jack socket of your music player.
2. Ensure the stereo headset or receiver is switched on and is within 3 metres of Tx.
3. The blue LED on Tx will continue to flash slowly to indicate it is connected.
4. If the connection is lost try moving the receiver closer to Tx and they will reconnect automatically.
5. If the audio becomes noisy or breaks up try moving the receiver closer to Tx.
Notes:
1. If, for some unknown reason, music can't transfer out from Tx, you should restart Tx by turning it off and on
again.
2. If the connection is lost auto-reconnection should occur within a few seconds of the devices being brought back
into range. Otherwise, after about 60 seconds, Tx will go into Idle Mode to save power and the blue LED will
flash very slowly (once every 5 seconds).
3. At switch-on, Tx will normally try to connect the previously paired device. However, if that device is switched off
or out of range and a new Bluetooth stereo headset/audio receiver is nearby and in pairing mode, Tx may try to
pair with it
4. In normal operation Tx and a stereo headset will maintain their Bluetooth connection once they have been paired
and switched on. If they disconnect or the link is lost, it may be for the following reasons:
i. The range is over 10 metres between them or there is an obstacle in the way.
ii. Either device has been switched off or the battery needs recharged.
