If the light is continuously off:
– check that the BT On-Air USB unit is
correctly plugged into the USB port of your
computer or into a mains powered USB Hub
(the BT On-Air USB unit does not operate
on a bus powered hub).
If the light is on or blinking:
– follow instructions under “What to do first
if installation fails” if you haven’t already
done so.

USB unit is not detected by my computer
when it is plugged in
The USB port on some computers is not
activated in Windows and needs to be enabled
before first use. Make sure the ‘Universal
Serial Bus controller’ is installed in your
Windows system. This can be checked by
opening the Control Panel.
To check, open the Control Panel
(Start – Settings – Control Panel).
Double-Click on the System icon.
Click on Hardware tab.
Click on Device Manager button and
scroll down list.
The UniversalSerialBus controller should be
shown in the device list. If this is not available
refer to your Windows manual or contact the
manufacture of your computer in order to
install new components.

The installation was successful but the
base cannot be found
– is the base switched-on (Play button lit)?
– is the USB unit close enough to the base ?
(typical range is up to 50m indoor and 300m
outdoor but this can be reduced depending
on the environment where the product
is used)
– is the USB unit registered on the base ?
