How to connect the BTR5 to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously

After a successful pairing with device1, hold button B for about 5 seconds to enter the pairing mode again. Search for "BTR5" on device 2 and pair it with the BTR5. Back to device 1, select "FiiO BTR5" in the Bluetooth device list and reconnect them. You could also restart the BTR5 after a successful pairing with device 2, so the BTR5 can be connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.

Note: The BTR5 supports a simultaneous connection to at most two devices.

Enter reconnecting mode

(not on the menu page)

1. If the device lost connection (the display will show "RECONNECT"), short press button B to start the re-connection.
2. When the device is restarted, it will automatically reconnect to the last connected device.

One-touch NFC pairing

When the BTR5 powers on and the Android device is unlocked with NFC enabled, tap the detecting area of the BTR5 to start the paring.

Charge settings

Connect the BTR5 to a USB power supply when it is on, or turn it on after inserting a USB power supply. The display will pop up a prompt of whether to disable the charging function, showing as "CHARGE OFF?" . At this time, press any button to disable the charging function. If there is no operation in 10 seconds, the charging function will be enabled as default. This function is very convenient when the BTR5 is working as a decoder for mobile phones.

Note: If the prompt page is closed after time is up, you can still choose to enable or disable the charging function on the menu.
