Follow the "Bluetooth Pairing" instructions to pair the TT-BR05 with your first device
Turn OFF your first device. The TT-BR05 will automatically switch into pairing mode
Connect your second device with the TT-BR05
Turn ON the Bluetooth of your first device and select "TaoTronics® TT-BR05" on your phone, now both devices will pair with the TT-BR05 receiver. To switch between the two devices, simply pause the music on the first device and play music on the second device or vice versa. Note: The TT-BR05 can remember the last two successfully paired devices. To reconnect to either of the last paired devices, simply turn ON the Bluetooth of the device and the TT-BR05. The Bluetooth connection will automatically reestablish.
