Advance Unit

Your units connect like a chain. When you receive your standard two way set (SKU: A02R), Blue No. 1 and Red No. 2 Channels are already paired together.

When using your Advance Units, to connect them, the process is quick and simple. You do not need to pair them together. Therefore, you only need to power on the units and press one button to connect them. This process is followed each time you wish to use your units. You only need to pair them if you run into troubles connecting your units or if you want to add a unit to your set up.

POWER ON

To turn on your Advance Units, press and hold the center button on each unit until the blue light comes on.  (3 seconds)

CONNECT

To connect, press the Blue No. 1 or the Red No. 2 button once (0.5 seconds). You only need to press one of the buttons.  After pushing either button, wait for both units to announce, “connected.”  You can now start to talk.

If you wish to dis-connect, it is the same as connecting.  Press either the Blue No. 1 or Red No. 2 button once (0.5 seconds).

If you go out of range, your Advance Units will disconnect.  To re-connect, get within 300 meters and press either the Blue No. 1 or Red No. 2, once the units announce, “connected” you are ready to talk again.

To turn off your Advance Unit, hold the center button until you see a red light.  (3 seconds) It is the same button to turn the Advance Unit on or off.

*Only units with an open channel can be connected to a cell phone.  For example, if you have 3 units connected, units 1 and 3 can connect to a cell phone but not unit 2.

While your Advance Unit is OFF, press and hold the center button until you see the light flashing blue and red.

Go to your smart phone and select BBT-ADV. (Make sure your phone’s Bluetooth is on)

You can now take calls or listen to your music through your Advance Unit.

MUSIC IS PRIVATE. In order to play music, you have to disconnect from another Advance Unit.  Only one unit can listen to music.

CALLS ARE OPEN. To accept calls, press the center button once.  If you are connected to another Advance Unit, the phone conversation will be open to all parties connect.  From your Advance Unit, you can call out to the last number you dialed by pressing the center button twice.

After you have paired your phone with the Advance Unit, that same Advance Unit will automatically pair to your phone when you turn it back on.

PHONE CALL WITH MULTIPLE ADVANCE UNITS

If you have the latest firmware update, you can have up to 4 Advance Units in a phone conference from an outside call.  It is important to note that once this is set up, any phone call you receive will be open to all Advance Units on and paired to ADV UNIT #1.  (The latest firmware update is BA103.dfu)

STEP 1: Pair ADV UNIT #1 to your smart phone (follow steps above)

STEP 2: Turn on the Advance Units you are going to pair to ADV UNIT #1.   Following the pairing process in Section F of this page.

STEP 3: Place the phone call to the smart phone that is paired to your ADV UNIT #1.

If you are going to use multiple Advance units, remember that Advance Unit #1 which is paired to the smart phone must remain close to the smart phone.  Advance Unit #2, #3 or #4 can be far away.

NOTE: Next time you turn on the same Advance Unit and the same smart phone, they will automatically pair to all units that are on, as long as the Bluetooth is enabled. You cannot have a cell phone and Advance Unit paired to the same channel.

To mute, both Advance Units need to be powered on and connected to one another.  

Press the volume up (+) and volume down (-) buttons at the same time on your Advance Unit.

You will see the blue light flash quickly on the unit, indicating this unit is on mute.
