Intended use/Liability

The BTD 500 USB is a wireless stereo audio transmitter and receiver for PCs and laptops (USB) that allows you to listen to music and make calls from softphones (e.g. Skype) without requiring any cables.

It is considered improper use when the product is used for any application not named in this instruction manual.

Sennheiser does not accept liability for damage arising from abuse or misuse of this product and its attachments/accessories.

Sennheiser is not liable for damages to USB devices that are not consistent with the USB specifications.

Sennheiser is not liable for damages resulting from the loss of connection due to flat or overaged rechargeable batteries or exceeding the Bluetooth transmission range.

BTD 500 USB

If your audio source, PC or laptop does not support Bluetooth technology or apt-X ^TM , you can use the BTD 500 USB adapter. The adapter allows you to add Bluetooth or apt-X to your devices.

Bluetooth

Bluetooth wireless technology provides an interface for wireless communication between your audio source, PC or laptop and other devices (e.g. headsets).

apt-X

With apt-X audio coding, you can be assured of crisp, pure and full stereo sound. It allows you to not only hear, but experience and feel the audio as it was intended. Utilizing apt-X, Bluetooth technology can now offer wireless audio quality that is indistinguishable from the highest quality wired connection.
