Bluetooth

The Grace Link can work as a Bluetooth transmitter or Bluetooth receiver; however, it cannot
function as both at the same time. When you want to play music from your smartphone /
tablet, go to the Home Screen on the Grace Link and select Bluetooth. You should then see it
on the list of available Bluetooth devices on your smart device. Once you select the Grace Link
on your smart device, the radio will now show the name of the smartphone / tablet that it is
paired to. On the Grace Link, select the smart device, then select Pair.
Now on your smart device simply press play on the music that you want to stream via
Bluetooth and the music will start playing through the audio output jacks on the Grace Link
to your wired speakers. After your initial set up, the next time you want to play Bluetooth you
will have to select the device from the Grace Link Bluetooth menu.
For example, if you are playing Bluetooth music from your smartphone and you then later
press the preset 1 on the Grace Link to play your previously saved radio station. To play
Bluetooth music again you will have to select your device from the Grace Link Bluetooth
menu. After you select your device you will be shown 3 options:
Play: If you want to play the music.
Disconnect: If you want to stop playing music but keep the smartphone device in the
Grace Link memory. By doing this, it will release your smartphone from playing music
through your Grace Link. Assuming your device is still in range, pressing play on the Grace
Link will start playing music from your device again.
Unpair: Will disconnect the Grace Link and place the Grace Link into pairing mode to
be paired to another phone.
NOTE: If you unpair your smart device and then want to pair back to the Grace Link again, depending on the smart
device, you may have to delete the Grace Link name out of your device's Bluetooth list, or turn Bluetooth on and off
on your smart device. Then the Grace Link will display it again and you can repair, connect, and start playing.
Bluetooth Transmission to Bluetooth Headphones / Speaker:
The Grace Link can also play music through Bluetooth enabled headphones, earbuds, or
speakers. Remember, the Grace Link cannot transmit to Bluetooth headphones, earbuds, or
speakers if it is already paired and receiving audio from a smart device.
