The Alpine RUX-H02 is a wireless knob designed to provide convenient control over compatible Alpine Display Audio units. This device connects wirelessly via Bluetooth® and offers a tactile interface for various audio adjustments.

Function Description:

The primary function of the RUX-H02 is to act as a remote control for specific operations on Alpine Display Audio units, including models such as iLX-507, iLX-F509, iLX-F511, and i509. It can also be physically mounted on the iLX-F509 and iLX-F511 for integrated control.

The device features a rotary knob that supports multiple functions:

• Volume Control: Turning the Rotary Knob up or down adjusts the main volume of the connected Display Audio unit.
• Subwoofer Volume Control: If a subwoofer is connected and its setting is enabled in the Display Audio's Sound Menu, pressing and turning the Rotary Knob simultaneously allows for adjusting the subwoofer's volume level up or down.
• Bass Volume Level Adjustment: If no subwoofer is connected or its setting is turned off in the Sound Menu, pressing and turning the Rotary Knob simultaneously enables adjustment of the bass volume level within the Bass/Treble function of the Display Audio.

The RUX-H02 also includes an LED indicator that illuminates when the unit is connected or in operation, providing visual feedback on its status.

Important Technical Specifications:

• Connectivity: Bluetooth® wireless technology.
• Power Source: The device is powered by a single CR2032 coin/button cell battery.
• Components: The package includes the RUX-H02 unit, two mounting brackets (Mounting Bracket1 and Mounting Bracket2), one CR2032 battery, and two screws (Screw1 and Screw2) for installation.

Usage Features:

Connection Procedure:

1. Battery Installation: The CR2032 battery must be inserted with the positive (+) side facing up. Once the battery is installed, the unit enters a connection standing-by mode, indicated by a flashing LED.

• The lid on the unit can be turned counter-clockwise to open, likely for battery access.

Mounting:

• A remote control holder is also mentioned, which can be installed using double-sided adhesive tape or screws.

Automatic Reconnection:

• If the Display Audio unit is turned off for a period, the RUX-H02 will disconnect. However, it will automatically reconnect when the Display Audio is turned on and the Rotary Knob is operated. Note that reconnection may take some time in certain situations.
