Airfrex Bluetooth Transmitter AWBT User Manual

1. Product Overview

The Airfrex Bluetooth Transmitter AWBT is a compact and versatile wireless audio adapter designed to add Bluetooth functionality to your legacy audio devices. This device allows you to connect older equipment, such as TVs, iPods, MP3 players, CD players, and gaming consoles (like PS4 or Nintendo Switch), to modern Bluetooth headphones, speakers, or receivers.

3. Setup

Charging the Transmitter:

1. Connect the small end of the included USB charging cable to the charging port on the Airfrex transmitter.
2. Connect the standard USB end of the cable to a USB power adapter (not included), a computer's USB port, or any standard USB charging port.
3. The indicator light on the transmitter will show charging status (e.g., red while charging, off when fully charged). A full charge typically takes approximately 2 hours.

Connecting to an Audio Source:

1. For 3.5mm AUX Output: Plug the 3.5mm jack of the Airfrex transmitter directly into the 3.5mm audio output port (headphone jack) of your device (e.g., TV, iPod, MP3 player, laptop).
2. For RCA Output: If your device has RCA (red and white) audio output ports, use the included RCA to 3.5mm converter cable. Connect the RCA ends to your device's audio output, and then plug the 3.5mm end of the converter into the Airfrex transmitter.
