INSTALLATION

Charge

For best performance, fully charge both devices before the first use (estimated charge time: 3 hours each). Use the included micro USB cable and a USB power source to charge the Monster Bluetooth® Transmitter/Receiver and Monster Bluetooth® Headset until full.

LED charging indicator (next to the USB port): Solid RED – charging / OFF – fully charged.
When in use, the BT Transmitter/receiver emits a 'Low Battery' message when its battery needs charging. The earphones emit a low battery tone.

Transmitter (TX) Mode

TX mode allows streaming audio from non-Bluetooth® TV and audio devices to the neckband earphones.

STEP 1: Transmitter Setup

The transmitter includes an optional, peel-and-stick velcro mounting strip for attachment to the back of a TV or other equipment.

Switch the TX/RX switch to TX.
Connect the Transmitter to the output port of the audio source (e.g., TV) using the 3.5mm or optical cable. Use only one cable at a time. Ensure it is connected to the AUDIO OUTPUT jack, not an input.
Press and hold the Transmitter/Receiver Power/Pairing button for approximately 3 seconds to turn the Transmitter on. The button will flash Red/Blue, indicating TX pairing mode.
After connecting to a TV, you may need to adjust the TV's audio output to select the 3.5mm output. For prolonged use, connect the transmitter to a USB port or a separate USB power source.

STEP 2: Auto Pair the Bluetooth Headset

Press and hold the power button on the Headset for approximately 2 seconds to power it on.
The power-on tone will sound, and the pairing indicator will flash Red/Blue, indicating Auto Pairing Mode.
Within seconds, the headset will connect to the transmitter, indicated by a solid blue light and the word 'Connected'. The transceiver indicators will turn blue, and the headset indicator will be lit blue.
Audio from the source will now be heard through the headset.
Adjust the volume level on the headset. If the audio is too low, increase the audio level on the audio source.

Receiver (RX) Mode

RX mode allows streaming audio from a phone or other Bluetooth device to non-Bluetooth audio devices like amplifiers or music systems.

Step 1: Receiver Setup

Switch the TX/RX switch on the transceiver to RX.
Connect the Receiver to the input port of the audio device (e.g., speaker) using the 3.5mm cable.
Press and hold the Transmitter/Receiver Power/Pairing button for approximately 3 seconds to turn the Receiver on. The button will flash blue rapidly, indicating RX pairing mode.
Open the Bluetooth pairing screen on your phone or other Bluetooth device and connect to "Monster MTH!>-1002-RX". The receiver will pair, and the indicator will flash blue slowly.
Audio from the phone or Bluetooth device can now be enjoyed from the connected speaker or audio device.
Adjust the volume on your audio device and/or Bluetooth device. Wired headphones can be used by connecting them to the receiver's audio out port.

Note: The receiver's Optical port is an input port only and has no function in RX mode.

Headset-only Bluetooth Mode

The Headset can be used as a standalone Bluetooth headset without the Transmitter/Receiver. It can be paired to any Bluetooth-enabled device (phones, tablets, computers). Ensure the Transmitter is OFF before re-pairing the Headset.

Enable Bluetooth search mode on your audio device (follow its instructions).
Turn on the Bluetooth headset by pressing and holding the Multifunction Button for 3 seconds. A power-on tone will sound, and the LED indicator will flash blue and red quickly, indicating Auto Pairing Mode.
Locate and select "Monster MTH!>-1002" in your device's Bluetooth list to complete pairing. The earphones indicator will be lit blue, and 'Connected' will be heard.
Play audio on the Bluetooth device. Audio will be heard through the headset.
Adjust the volume level on the headset. If the audio is too low, adjust the audio level of the Bluetooth device.
