Pairing BT100 to a Bluetooth Speaker
BT100 has a Bluetooth transmitter to send audio to a Bluetooth speaker wirelessly.
1. Power on your Bluetooth speaker and ensure it is in pairing mode.
2. Power on the BT100 turntable.
3. Press and release the Bluetooth button on BT100 to start pairing to your Bluetooth device. Once BT100 is
connected to the Bluetooth speaker, the Bluetooth LED will be solid blue. Your Bluetooth speaker should also
indicate that it is paired.
Note: BT100 will connect to the closest Bluetooth speaker that is near it. If after 5 minutes no Bluetooth
speaker can be found to pair with, the Bluetooth transmitter will become inactive and the LED will turn off.
Note: Maximum range will be achieved when using devices with Bluetooth 4.0 or higher.
4. Play music on your BT100 turntable. If you are connected to a Bluetooth speaker with a play/pause button,
and do not hear audio, try pressing the play/pause button.
5. Adjust the volume on your Bluetooth speaker (if applicable) and the volume control on BT100 to control the
output level.

speaker.

connect to your Bluetooth speaker.

cover (needle cover) before operating the
turntable.
