LINKING XD CLEAR BRIDGE™
The XD Clear Bridge™ will need to be linked to a compatible XD Receiver to send audio to CLEAR Connect™ and the accompanying translation service.
- Use the included USB-C cable to connect the XD Clear Bridge to the teacher computer. Ensure Input Audio in the computer settings is set to XD Audio Bridge
- Press the Link button on the front of the amplifier or receiver (look for the blinking yellow LED).
- With the XD Clear Bridge connected to a USB port on the computer, press the Link button on the back of the unit. The XD Clear Bridge LED will slowly blink Green when plugged into a USB Port. After the Link button is pressed the XD Clear Bridge will quickly blink green until the link is completed.
- Successful linking will produce a beep through the system, and on the front of the amplifier you will see an additional green LED, as well as a solid green LED on the rear of the XD Clear Bridge.
CLEAR CONNECT
Once your XD Clear Bridge and XD Microphone units are both linked with a compatible XD Receiver unit, you are ready to fully utilize the CLEAR Connect translation service.

CLOSING A CLEAR CONNECT SESSION
All CLEAR Connect sessions automatically close after 90 minutes of translation, however, an instructor can close a session whenever necessary by using the Close Session button (Figure 5) in the top right corner of the interface. Once a session is closed, all users will be removed, and a new CLEAR Connect session will need to be started to continue.

TROUBLESHOOTING
CLEAR CONNECT NOT RECOGNIZING XD CLEAR BRIDGE
Ensure the USB connection from the XD Clear Bridge to your computer is active, and in Windows, navigate to Settings, then Sound. Locate the device labeled Digital Audio Bridge, and ensure that it is active and set as an Audio Input Device. The LED indicator will be green if the device is correctly connected and functioning.
NETWORK AND CONTENT FILTERING REQUIREMENTS
To ensure seamless connection to CLEAR Connect, the following internet addresses must be available from your staff and student devices and networks. Any network restrictions or content filtering services must be configured to allow access to these sites.
*Audio Enhancement’s CLEAR Connect is designed with privacy and security as a top priority. The platform does not capture, store, or retain any student data once a session is closed. All data associated with the session is automatically deleted upon closure, ensuring that no personally identifiable information (PII) is stored. This commitment to data privacy aligns with our dedication to maintaining a secure and compliant digital environment for educators and students.
