Using the iBT10 with Two Devices

It is possible to pair the iBT10 with two devices and to easily switch between them.

First pair the iBT10 with DEVICE A (for example a smartphone as described above).

Switch OFF the Bluetooth function on DEVICE A.

Now pair the iBT10 with another device – DEVICE B (for example a smart TV as described above).

Switch ON the Bluetooth function on DEVICE A.

Check that both devices are paired and connected with the iBT10.

Play sounds from both DEVICE A and B. The iBT10 will play the sound from DEVICE B.

Double press the PLAY / CALL button [] to play the sound from DEVICE A, double press the PLAY / CALL button [ ] again to switch back to DEVICE B.

NOTE:

1. Both DEVICE A and DEVICE B must be playing sounds in order to be able to switch between them.
2. The iBT10 treats phone calls as a priority. For example, if DEVICE A is a smartphone, and DEVICE B a smart TV, and you are listening to the smart TV, the iBT10 will automatically switch to DEVICE A when there is a phone call. When the call is ended, the iBT10 will automatically revert back to DEVICE B.

STEP 4: LISTEN TO AUDIO / TV FROM A PAIRED DEVICE

Having paired the iBT10 to your smartphone/smart TV / another device, you can now listen to audio / TV. Plug the cable from the supplied headset earpiece into the 3.5mm jack socket [ ] located at the top of the iBT10, or, if you use a hearing aid, plug the Neck Loop (iBT10 LOOP option) into the two smaller 2.5mm jack sockets [ ] either side of the headphone socket. You may wish to adjust the volume and tone – see section on volume and tone adjustment.

With some devices, such as a smartphone, you can pause the audio track using the PLAY / CALL button [播放图标], and skip to the next audio track using the volume controls [播放图标 Previous/播放图标 Next] on the iBT10 (this may not work with all file formats, platforms and devices).
