Pairing
What is pairing?
BLUETOOTH devices need to be "paired" with each other beforehand. Once BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need for pairing again, except in the following cases:
- Pairing information is deleted after repair, etc.
- This unit can be paired with up to 8 BLUETOOTH stereo audio source devices. If a new device is paired thereafter, the device with the oldest registration among the 8 paired devices is replaced by the new one.
1 Press and hold the OPR button for 3 seconds or more.

The LED status indicator starts flashing very quickly and this unit enters pairing mode.
Note
Pairing mode is canceled automatically if pairing is not achieved within 5 minutes, or manually by pressing the OPR button. If pairing mode is canceled midway, start over from step 1.
2 Perform pairing procedure on the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device to detect this unit.
The list of detected devices appears on the display of the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device. This unit is displayed as "TDM-BT1."
If "TDM-BT1" is not displayed, repeat from step 1.
Notes
- When pairing, be sure to place both the BLUETOOTH devices within 1m of each other.
- Some devices cannot display the list of detected devices.
- To operate the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device, refer to the operation instructions of the device.
3 Select "TDM-BT1" on the display of the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device.
4 If Passcode* input is required on the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device, input "0000".
When BLUETOOTH pairing is complete, the LED status indicator flashes slowly and pairing information is memorized on this unit.
- Passcode may be called "Passkey," "PIN code," "PIN number," or "Password."
Notes
-
Some BLUETOOTH stereo audio source devices may connect with the unit automatically when pairing is completed. For other devices, you will have to connect to this device manually.
-
If you disconnect this unit or the BLUETOOTH stereo audio source device, before a connection is complete, pairing information is not memorized, and pairing will not be completed.

What is BLUETOOTH technology?
BLUETOOTH wireless technology is a short-range wireless technology that enables wireless data communication between digital devices, such as a computer or digital camera. BLUETOOTH wireless technology operates within a range of about 10m
Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.*
You do not need to use a cable for connection since BLUETOOTH technology is a wireless technology, nor is it necessary for the devices to face one another, such as the case with infrared technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or pocket. BLUETOOTH technology is an international standard supported by millions of companies all over the world, and employed by various companies worldwide.
- This unit cannot be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
