Setup Guide
Charging the Device
Before initial use, fully charge the transmitter. Connect the provided Micro USB cable to the charging port on the transmitter and the other end to a standard USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The LED indicator will typically show a red light while charging and turn off when fully charged.
Connecting to an Audio Source
The transmitter features a built-in 3.5mm AUX jack. Plug this jack directly into the 3.5mm audio output port of your audio source (e.g., TV, MP3 player, gym equipment, or a standard airplane entertainment system jack).
For airplane entertainment systems that require a dual-prong adapter, use the included airplane adapter. Insert the 3.5mm jack of the transmitter into the adapter, then plug the adapter into the airplane's audio output ports.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | Low battery. | Charge the device fully using the provided USB cable. |
| Cannot pair with headphones. | Transmitter not in pairing mode; headphones not in pairing mode; too far apart. | Ensure both devices are in pairing mode and within close proximity (within 1 meter). Try restarting both devices. |
| No audio or poor audio quality. | Incorrect audio source connection; volume too low; interference. | Check that the 3.5mm jack is fully inserted into the audio source. Increase volume on both the source and headphones. Move away from potential interference sources (e.g., Wi-Fi routers). |
| Audio delay (lip-sync issues). | Receiving device does not support aptX Low Latency. | While the transmitter supports aptX LL, your receiving device must also support it for minimal delay. Ensure your headphones are aptX LL compatible for best results. |
| Cannot connect a second pair of headphones. | Second headphones not in pairing mode; dual link not activated correctly. | After connecting the first device, double-click the power button to activate dual link pairing mode for the second device. Ensure the second device is in pairing mode. |
