Instructions
PAIRING A BLUETOOTH DEVICE
Q-BT3 is designed to automatically go into pairing mode if there is no Bluetooth device connected. To Pair
your Bluetooth source:
1. Turn Q-BT3 and the Bluetooth device ON.
2. Make sure Bluetooth is enabled on the device to be Paired. The Bluetooth controls are typically found
in the device's 'Settings' or 'Connections' menu.
3. On your device's list of Discoverable devices, you should now see 'Q-BT3-xxx' where xxx is a pre-defined
three digit number.
4. Select 'Q-BT3-xxx' and your device will now be Paired via Bluetooth and Connected
5. From within the music player on your device, select 'Q-BT3-xxx' as the audio output and press Play. Unless
the remote has been used to manually select another source and override Auto-Source Selection the
unit will switch to Bluetooth input and the LED turn Blue.
Please Note:
Although starting to Play a track on the connected source will cause the Q-BT3 to switch to Bluetooth, the unit will stay
on Bluetooth until the source is disconnected. It will not switch to another source whilst the player is paused.
Please Note:
When connected the device's volume and mute controls control the device itself, not Q-BT3. Better audio quality will be
achieved by having the device set at a higher volume level and the Q-BT3 at a lower level.
GOING OUT OF RANGE
When a connected device goes out of range, Q-BT3 will remain on the Bluetooth channel. When the device
returns in range it will automatically re-connect to Q-BT3. In many cases PLAY must be pressed on the
device to resume audio playback. Whilst out of range, source can still be changed using the SOURCE SELECT
button.
Please Note:
If the source does not come back into range for 20 minutes the unit will automatically go into standby.
PAIRING MORE THAN ONE BLUETOOTH DEVICE
The Q-BT3 can have up to eight Bluetooth devices in its pairing list. When you pair with the 9th device the
details of the first device will be lost.
Once Q-BT3 is Connected with a device, it will stop automatically searching for other devices to pair with or
connect to. Under these conditions please either disconnect the currently connected source on the device
itself or press the BT Pair button on the rear panel of Q-BT3.
COMING OUT OF STANDBY
If there is a paired device in proximity to Q-BT3 when it comes out of standby it will automatically initiate a
connection to the device. It will not switch to BT input until play is pressed on the device.
