Frequently Asked Questions - Connect T1N1 MEE audio

How do I pair my Bluetooth headphones with the Connect T1N1?

Put your headphones into pairing mode (usually by holding the power button until the LED flashes red and blue). Then press the Pairing button A on the Connect. Ensure both devices are within 1 meter. The blue indicator will blink rapidly and become solid once paired.

Can I connect two pairs of headphones simultaneously?

Yes. After pairing the first headphone (solid blue light), put the second headphone into pairing mode and press Pairing button B. Two solid blue lights indicate both are connected. The Connect uses the best codec supported by both headphones.

Why is there no sound even though my headphones are connected?

Ensure the audio cable (3.5mm or TOSLINK) is firmly connected to both the Connect and your audio source. Verify the source is playing audio and the output is active. Check that nothing is plugged into the 3.5mm input if using optical, as analog takes priority. Adjust volume on both the source and headphones.

How do I charge the Connect T1N1?

Plug the included Micro-USB cable into a powered USB port and the charging port on the rear. The green LED pulses slowly during charging (about 90 minutes). You can use it while charging; it will draw power from USB first.

What is aptX Low Latency and how do I use it?

aptX Low Latency is a Bluetooth codec that reduces audio delay (latency) for better lip-sync. Both the Connect and your headphones must support aptX Low Latency. The Connect automatically selects the best codec supported by all connected headphones.

How do I reset the Connect T1N1?

To factory reset, press and hold Pairing button A for about 5 seconds until the blue LED starts blinking. This clears all paired devices from memory and enters pairing mode.

Why does audio have a delay (lag)?

Bluetooth inherently introduces some latency. Using headphones that support aptX Low Latency minimizes delay. Also, check your TV's audio delay setting and set it to 0. Keep the Connect and headphones within range and minimize interference.

Can I use the Connect T1N1 with my phone or tablet?

No. The Connect is a Bluetooth transmitter and can only send audio to Bluetooth receivers (headphones, speakers). It cannot connect to another transmitter like a phone. Use it with TVs, game consoles, or other audio sources.

What should I do if my previously paired headphones won't reconnect?

Make sure the Connect hasn't been reset. Turn the headphones off and on again. Ensure the Connect is not already paired with two devices (only one blue light on). If needed, create a new pairing by pressing the appropriate pairing button while the headphones are in pairing mode.

How do I clean the Connect T1N1?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the device. Do not use chemical cleaners. Avoid exposing to liquids; if submerged, do not turn on until completely dry. Liquid damage voids the warranty.

The Connect can stream music to any Bluetooth audio receiver that supports the A2DP Bluetooth profile, such as a Bluetooth headphone, Bluetooth speaker, or dedicated A2DP receiver.

The Connect also supports aptX® and aptX Low Latency, more efficient Bluetooth audio codecs capable of transmitting CD-quality audio that also provide lower and much lower latency (smaller delay), respectively, compared to regular Bluetooth audio (SBC). Using the Connect with a headphone that supports aptX or aptX Low Latency will provide the best possible audio quality and minimize audio lag/latency.

The Connect will always default to the best codec that is also supported by the headphones connected to it. If two headphones are connected, the best codec supported by both will be used.

CHARGING

To charge the Connect, plug the included Micro-USB charging cable into any powered USB port** and the charging port on the rear of the unit.

Charge time is approximately 90 minutes. The green charging indicator light will pulse slowly while the Connect is charging.

Note: If you use the Connect while plugged in to USB power, it is not necessary to charge the unit before using it, or to turn it off after each use.

When used while plugged in, the Connect will use USB power and the internal battery will be charged. When unplugged from USB power, the Connect will use the internal battery. When battery is low, the green power LED will blink once every second and a short alert tone will sound at 10 minute intervals.

SETUP (Continued): CONNECTING TO TV OR OTHER AUDIO DEVICE

Option 3: 3.5mm (1/8") headphone jack

Some TVs and most standalone receivers have a headphone jack on the front or side. To use the Connect with the headphone jack, plug the included 3.5mm stereo audio cable into the headphone jack on the TV and the 3.5mm input on the rear of the transmitter. A 14 " adapter (not included) may be used with receivers that have a 14 " jack.

TV speakers will typically be muted automatically when the headphone jack is use. The volume of the headphone jack can be controlled using the TV or receiver and will affect the volume of the Connect.

SETUP: PAIRING WITH BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES

Before use, the Connect must be paired with at least one Bluetooth headphone or other Bluetooth audio receiver.

Make sure your Bluetooth headphone or other device is turned off and within 1 meter (3 feet) of Connect and put it in pairing mode. With most headphones this is done by pressing and holding the Power/Multifunction button until the status indicator lights (typically red and blue) flash in an alternating pattern. If you are unsure of how to activate pairing mode, consult the user manual of your headphone/device.

Once the headphone is in pairing mode, press pairing button “A” located on the right side of the Connect. A blue light will blink rapidly on the top of the unit to indicate that the Connect is ready to pair. It will pair automatically with any headphone or other Bluetooth receiver that is also in pairing mode and located within 1 meter (3 feet). The Connect and headphone have to be in pairing mode simultaneously in order to pair.

The Connect will remain in pairing mode for 30 seconds or until successfully paired. Once paired, the blue light will blink several times and turn solid Blue.

SETUP (Continued): PAIRING WITH BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES

Optional: Pairing a 2nd Headphone

The Connect can stream audio to two Bluetooth headphones simultaneously. A second headphone can be paired after one headphone is already connected (as indicated by a solid blue light on top of the unit). To pair the second headphone, put it in pairing mode and then press pairing button "B" on the Connect. A blue light will flash to indicate that the Connect is in pairing mode and the second headphone will be paired.

Note: During the pairing process the sound may have a brief intermittent period.

Note: When streaming to two headphones, the Connect will always default to the best available codec that is supported by both of the connected headphones. For example, if one of the headphones supports aptX and the other does not, regular Bluetooth audio streaming will be used with both headphones.

SETUP (Continued): PAIRING WITH BLUETOOTH HEADPHONES

Optional: Replace Paired Headphone

Once the maximum of two connected headphones has been reached (as indicated by two solid blue lights on top of the Connect), additional headphones or other Bluetooth receivers can be paired in place of either of the connected headphones.

Follow the instructions found in the “Pairing a 2nd Headphone” section to replace one of the currently-paired headphones with a new device. Use pairing button “A” to replace the headphone paired in slot A and pairing button “B” to replace the headphone paired in slot B.

SUBSEQUENT USE – RECONNECTING HEADPHONES

The Connect will stay connected until either the unit or headphones are turned off or taken out of range. It is not necessary to turn off the Connect or headphones after each use except to conserve battery (note: when the Connect is plugged into USB power, it does not use the battery).

Previously paired Bluetooth headphones will reconnect to Connect automatically once turned back on. The Connect will not initiate reconnection. If the Connect itself is turned off, it is recommended to turn it back on first before turning on the paired headphones so that it can accept the incoming Bluetooth connection from the headphones. If the headphones are already on, turn them off and then on again.

Note: It may take up to 60 seconds for audio transmission to start after headphones re-connect.

ADJUSTING THE VOLUME

Volume can be individually adjusted on each set of headphones paired with the Connect using the built-in volume controls on the headphone.

With some TVs and connection options, TV volume may be further raised or lowered to change the volume of all headphones paired with the Connect. In this case, volume should be maximized on the TV and then adjusted via headphones for best audio quality.

STEP 1. MAXIMIZE TV VOLUME

STEP 2. ADJUST HEADPHONE VOLUME

FACTORY RESET / CLEAR MEMORY

The Connect can be reset by holding pairing button "A" on the right side of the unit for approximately 5 seconds until the blue indicator light begins to blink. The unit will enter pairing mode and previously paired devices will be cleared from memory.

LED INDICATOR LIGHTS

The Connect has a green power/charging indicator light on the rear of the unit and two blue indicator lights on the top. They indicate the status of the headphones as follows:

Indicator Light(s)	Connect Status
Green power indicator light on (USB Power plugged in)	Battery full
Green power indicator light pulsing slowly	Charging
Green power indicator light on (USB Power not plugged in)	On
Green power indicator light blinking rapidly	Low battery
Blue light blinking Pairing mode active
One solid blue light One headphone is connected
Two solid blue lights Two headphones are connected

TROUBLESHOOTING

Issue: Connect will not turn on; Green power light doesn't turn on or turns on and then off

Make sure the Connect transmitter is plugged into a powered USB port or the internal battery has been charged. The green power indicator light on the rear of the unit will light up when the unit is turned on.

Issue: Not charging

If using a wall charger, make sure it is plugged in to a powered outlet. If using a computer, make sure the computer is on and the USB port has power.

Issue: Unable to pair Bluetooth headphones

Make sure both the Connect and the Bluetooth headphone are in pairing mode at the same time as indicated by the appropriate tones and/or light pattern and are with 1 meter (3 feet) of each other. Make sure the headphones or other Bluetooth device you are attempting to pair with the Connect support the A2DP Bluetooth profile and can act as a receiver. The Connect is a transmitter and cannot be paired with another Bluetooth transmitter such as a phone or tablet.

Issue: Headphones are connected (blue light solid) but audio is not heard

Ensure that either the analog (3.5mm) or digital (TOSLINK) audio cable is plugged in to both the Connect and your TV or other audio device. Ensure that audio is playing on the TV/device, the output you have selected is active, and volume is set to “high” on the TV/device. Ensure that volume is sufficiently high on your Bluetooth headphones.If you are using an optical connection, make sure nothing is connected to the 3.5mm input of the Connect.

Issue: There is a delay (latency) in audio

Bluetooth is a digital wireless signal and there is some latency expected due to the coding/decoding and compression/decompression steps that must occur. The aptX and aptX Low Latency audio codecs supported by the Connect are notable for having lower and much lower latency (smaller delay), respectively, compared to regular Bluetooth audio. Using the Connect with a headphone that supports aptX or aptX Low Latency will minimize audio lag.Some modern TVs and receivers also have an audio delay option. Please make sure that audio delay is set to 0 to minimize lag.

TROUBLESHOOTING (Continued)

Issue: I cannot connect to my phone, tablet, or other device via Bluetooth

The Connect is a Bluetooth transmitter. It cannot be connected with another transmitter such as a phone or tablet. It can only be connected with a Bluetooth receiver such as a Bluetooth headphone, speaker, sound bar, etc.

Issue: Previously paired headphones will not connect

Make sure that the Connect has not been reset since the headphones were last paired. Make sure the headphones are turned on and within range and that the Connect is not already connected with two other headphones/devices (at most 1 blue light should be on). Make sure the headphones are not connected to another device.If the headphones are still unable to connect, power them off and then turn them back on. If problems persist, create a new pairing between the Connect and your headphones.

Issue: Low volume

Adjust the volume both on your Bluetooth headphones and on the TV or other connected device as both may control the volume.

Issue: Crackling noise, static, interference

For the most noise-free audio, maximize the volume on your TV or other device and adjust via the headphones.Make sure you are within range of your Bluetooth-enabled device. Bluetooth devices are susceptible to interference from other Bluetooth devices, microwave ovens, power stations and transmission lines, Direct Satellite Service (DSS), and wireless devices operating on the 2.4 GHz band. Eliminate as many potential sources of interference as possible while using your Bluetooth headphones.

SAFETY AND CARE

Taking care of your device in accordance with the following recommendations will ensure optimal performance and a long lifespan.

a) Battery performance will be severely decreased when stored in extreme temperatures: below -10^/14^ or above 45^/113^ including direct sunlight.
