Operation Instruction

Power on: Short press button C after connecting the BTA30 Pro to a power supply.
Power off: When the BTA30 Pro powers on, hold button C for about 5 seconds until all indicator lights turn off.
Play/Pause: In RX mode, short press button D.
Factory data reset/Clear pairing: When the BTA30 Pro powers on and not in pairing state (in RX/TX/DAC mode), hold buttons C and D for about 5 seconds simultaneously.
Force a pairing: When the BTA30 Pro powers on and in RX/TX mode, hold button C or D for about 3 seconds until Light Q flashes alternately in red and blue.
Reconnecting state: Light Q will fast flash 2 times in blue every 2 seconds.
Input source switch: When the BTA30 Pro powers on and in TX/DAC mode, short press button C to switch the input source.
Bluetooth codec switch: When the BTA30 Pro is in TX mode and connected to a Bluetooth device, short press button D to switch the Bluetooth codec.
Connecting state: If PAIR1 is connected, Light A will be on; if PAIR2 is connected, Light B will be on; if PAIR1 and PAIR2 are connected at the same time, Lights A and B will be simultaneously on.
aptX LL First: In TX mode, double press button D after the device is connected to enable aptX LL First. Under this state, other Bluetooth codecs will be disabled except for aptX LL and SBC. Double press button D again to disable aptX LL First. Light Q will stay constantly on following the corresponding Bluetooth codec after the device is reconnected. At this time, all supported codecs will be enabled. Short press button D to successively switch the codec.

How to connect the BTA30 Pro to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously

RX (Bluetooth receiving): First connect the BTA30 Pro to Device 1, and hold PAIR1 for about 3 seconds to enter pairing mode again. On Device 2, search for "BTA30 Pro" and complete the connection. Back to Device 1, select "FiiO BTA30 Pro" in the Bluetooth device list and complete the reconnection. You can also restart the BTA30 Pro after a successful pairing with Device 2, so the BTA30 Pro can be connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.
TX (Bluetooth transmitting): Connect the BTA30 Pro to the Bluetooth receiving device, Device 1 (PAIR1 is prior as default), and hold button C for about 3 seconds to enter pairing state again. The BTA30 Pro will automatically search for Device 2 and start to pair with it.

Note: When working in LDAC and aptX LL codec in TX mode, the BTA30 Pro cannot be connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously.

Audio Input/Output and their Priority

Bluetooth receiving (RX): Smart devices can be connected to the BTA30 Pro via Bluetooth and output audio through its line-out, coaxial output, and optical output ports. Output priority: Line out, coaxial output, and optical output can all work simultaneously.
Bluetooth transmitting (TX): Input priority: Short press button C to switch the input source. Transmitting: The BTA30 Pro can be connected to Bluetooth receiving devices such as the FiiO BTR5 and BTR3K. Audio can be input to the BTA30 Pro through its USB input, coaxial input, and optical input ports.
BYPASS mode: After inputting audio to the BTA30 Pro through the optical input port, the audio signal can be transmitted to Bluetooth headphones. Meanwhile, it can also be connected to a speaker through the optical/coaxial output port.
DAC mode: Input priority: Short press button C to switch the input source. Output priority: 1) USB DAC in: Line out, coaxial output, and optical output can all work simultaneously. 2) Coaxial in: Line out will work. 3) Optical in (not BYPASS mode): Line out will work. 4) Optical in (BYPASS mode): Line out, coaxial output, and optical output can all work simultaneously.

Note: UAC 2.0 is supported. When connecting the BTA30 Pro to a Windows computer for the first time, please visit FiiO's website to download the USB DAC driver and follow the corresponding instructions to install it to enable the USB DAC function. For MAC computers, it runs driver-free.

Notes and Precautions

It is recommended to charge the device with a standard 5 V charger.
Please do not place the device in environments of excessive high/low temperatures (above 45°C or below 0°C).
Please keep the device away from liquids to avoid any damage.
