  • Blue: SBC
  • Yellow: aptX-Adaptive

Note: For aptX modes (aptX, aptX-LL, aptX-HD, aptX-Adaptive) to function, your connected receiving device (headphones/speakers) must also support the corresponding aptX codec.

5. Troubleshooting

  • No Audio/Disconnection: If you experience disconnections or no audio, ensure the device is fully charged and within the 60ft transmission range. Try resetting the device by long-pressing the RESET button for 2 seconds to clear all pairing history and re-enter pairing mode. This often resolves 90% of matching problems.
  • Audio Delay/Latency:
    • The RT5013 supports aptX-LL for low latency (<36ms). For true picture and sound synchronization, both the RT5013 and your Bluetooth headphones must support aptX-LL.
    • We do not recommend using the B06T2 to watch TV if your Bluetooth headsets do not support aptX low latency, or if your headsets are AirPods Pro/Gen/Max, Bose, or some Sony models, as there might be a significant delay.
    • When connecting with two Bluetooth headsets, it is recommended for listening to music, but not suitable for watching TV as it would also cause ultra-high latency.
  • Compatibility Issues:
    • The B06T2 is not suitable for AirPods Pro/AirPods Gen/AirPods Max, some Sony Bluetooth headsets (e.g., 1000mx4), and music instruments such as guitar or electronic pianos.
    • For musical instruments like electronic pianos and guitars, 2.4G transmission is typically required for audio synchronization, which Bluetooth devices cannot provide due to protocol limitations and smaller transmission channels.

6. Important Notes and Warnings

  • Always ensure the RT5013 is set to the correct mode (TX or RX) before attempting to pair with other devices.
  • For optimal audio quality and low latency, ensure your connected Bluetooth headphones or speakers support the same aptX codecs as the RT5013.
  • The device is not designed for real-time music transmission with instruments like electronic pianos or guitars due to Bluetooth protocol limitations.
  • Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures, moisture, or direct sunlight.
  • Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device, as this will void the warranty and may cause damage.
