1. Introduction
The ZIOCOM 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter is designed to upgrade traditional 30-pin dock speakers, such as those found in older Bose SoundDock, iPod, and iPhone speaker systems, with Bluetooth wireless audio streaming capabilities. This adapter allows you to connect modern Bluetooth-enabled devices, like smartphones and tablets, to your existing 30-pin dock speaker, extending its usability and providing a convenient wireless listening experience.
2. Product Overview
The ZIOCOM 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter is a compact device that plugs directly into the 30-pin connector of your compatible dock speaker. It features a sleek black design and integrates seamlessly with most speaker docks.
Key Features:
- Transforms 30-pin dock speakers into Bluetooth-enabled audio systems.
- Supports A2DPV1.2 for stereo Bluetooth audio.
- Plug and play operation.
- Working distance of up to 10 meters (30 feet).
- Powered directly by the 30-pin dock speaker.
3. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to set up your ZIOCOM 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter:
- Insert the Adapter: Carefully plug the ZIOCOM 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter into the 30-pin connector on your dock speaker. Ensure it is firmly seated.
- Power On Speaker: Turn on your 30-pin dock speaker. The adapter will draw power directly from the speaker.
- Activate Bluetooth: On your audio source device (e.g., smartphone, tablet), enable Bluetooth.
- Pairing: Search for available Bluetooth devices. The adapter should appear as "I-Link" in your device list. Select it to initiate pairing. If prompted for a password, enter "0000".
- Confirm Connection: Once paired, your device will indicate a successful connection. You can now play audio wirelessly through your dock speaker.
Note: If the 30-pin receiver powers up but produces no music, ensure your speaker has an AUX IN port. You may need to connect an audio cable from the 30-pin receiver (if it has an audio output) to the speaker's AUX IN. However, this adapter typically functions directly through the 30-pin connection for audio transmission.
4. Operating Instructions
Once paired, the ZIOCOM 30 Pin Bluetooth Adapter will generally reconnect automatically to the last paired device when both the adapter (via the speaker) and the device are powered on and within range.
- Automatic Reconnection: Ensure Bluetooth is active on your device. If the adapter and your device were previously paired, they should reconnect automatically.
- Manual Reconnection: If automatic reconnection fails, go to your device's Bluetooth settings and select "I-Link" from the list of paired devices.
- Range: Maintain your audio source device within 10 meters (30 feet) of the adapter for optimal performance. Obstacles and interference may reduce this range.

6. Troubleshooting
- No Power/No Indicator Light: Ensure the adapter is fully inserted into the 30-pin dock and the dock speaker is powered on. The adapter draws power from the speaker.
- Cannot Pair/Find "I-Link":
- Confirm the adapter is powered (indicator light on).
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your audio source device.
- Move your device closer to the adapter.
- Turn off and on your device's Bluetooth, then rescan.
- Paired but No Sound:
- Check the volume levels on both your audio source device and the dock speaker.
- Ensure the correct audio output is selected on your device.
- Verify that your speaker model is listed as compatible.
- If your speaker requires an AUX IN connection for the adapter, ensure it is properly connected (refer to Image 3.3).
- Intermittent Connection/Poor Audio Quality:
- Reduce the distance between your device and the adapter.
- Remove any obstructions between the devices.
- Avoid strong electromagnetic interference from other electronic devices.
- Reconnection Issues (e.g., after connecting to another Bluetooth device): If your device struggles to reconnect, try going to your device's Bluetooth settings, selecting "I-Link", and choosing "Forget This Device" or "Unpair". Then, repeat the pairing process from Step 3 of the Setup Instructions.
- Password Prompt: If a password is requested during pairing, enter "0000".
