between mobile computers, mobile phones, digital cameras
and other portable devices. The radio operates on the
globally available 2.45 GHz ISM 'free band', allowing users to
use "Bluetooth" equipment worldwide. The Bluetooth devices
communicate within a certain distance and do not need to be
in line of sight.
The QLINK is a Class 2 Bluetooth V2.1+EDR device. The
QLINK is only compatible with Bluetooth devices that support
A2DP. It is recommended that the QLINK be used with
v2.1+EDR Bluetooth devices.
Installation of your ClearSounds® QLINK Bluetooth Stereo
Transmitter is easy.
If at any time you have questions about your QLINK after
reading this manual, please contact our ClearSounds®
Customer Service Department at 1-800-965-9043.

QLINK then connect the other end into a standard AC wall
outlet. When you plug the QLINK into the charger, the red

out. After a full charge, remove the charger from the wall
outlet and detach the USB cable from the unit.
NOTE: DURING CHARGING, YOU CAN CONTINUE TO
USE THE QLINK.
When your QLINK is low on power, the red light will begin to
flash until it is plugged into the charger or has no power. The
QLINK will turn off automatically once power is drained.
Simply charge the unit by following the instructions above.
