QXPA User Manual
Bluetooth™ Connection
QXPA units are fitted with a Bluetooth receiver, which is operated via a rotary control and push
button, located on the rear panel between the VHF antennas. When the rotary control is
turned fully off (anticlockwise), the power to the Bluetooth receiver is off.
If switched off, turn the Bluetooth rotary control clockwise to switch power on to the Bluetooth
receiver. Turning the rotary control up increases Bluetooth output level – halfway is a
reasonable position to start.
Press and hold the Bluetooth button for 3 seconds and the LED will light.
Press again to see the LED flash between blue and red. At this point, the Bluetooth receiver is
made visible to all Bluetooth devices in range.
Scan for Bluetooth devices on your phone or other audio player and check for a device called
“Bluetooth”. Select this device and opt to connect and your phone or other Bluetooth device
should state that it is connected to “Bluetooth” for audio output and the LED should stay single
colour. Play audio from your phone or other Bluetooth device and check for output through the
QXPA
If there is no output, check if there is more than one device in range called “Bluetooth”
In the eventuality that more than one device is called “Bluetooth”, try each device in turn until
the QXPA is found. Check also that the volume level is turned up on the sending device.
Once audio is playing through the QXPA from Bluetooth, adjust the rotary control to the
required volume
The QXPA Bluetooth receiver has duplex Play/Pause control over the sending device.
Press the Bluetooth button on the rear panel to remotely pause or resume playback from the
sending device. This is useful when the audio is played from a phone in a pocket or on an
armband or from a PC or Mac computer.
Bluetooth on the QXPA can only pair to a single device at any one time and should be operable
over a range of 5 to 8 metres.
Turning the rotary control fully down clicks the power off and shuts down the Bluetooth
receiver.
