Troubleshooting FAQ’s
Q: Why doesn’t the dongle work when plugged into my mixer? A: Plugging the dongle when the Phantom Power “ON” may trigger a protection circuit, remove the dongle from the mixer, turn “OFF” the Phantom Power, wait for 60 seconds and try again.
Q: Why is the audio output level so low? A: Raise the volume on your source device (phone, tablet, etc….).
Q: Why does the dongle have a red LED blinking and I cannot connect to the dongle though I waited for more than 30 Sec?
A: Continuous red blinking LED is mostly caused by losing connection to the source, for example if the operator left the room with the phone or tablet and the connection was compromised, connection can be restored by resetting the 318BTS using the Reset button.
Q: Why doesn’t the dongle work on Phantom Power while working well on USB power? A: The Phantom Power on your mixer has to be greater than 46.5V, using two channels can enable the unit to work in even less voltages.
Q: I cannot get a good range! The audio starts breaking with less than 100′ distance! Why?
A: The human body blocks the high frequency Bluetooth® signal, if you are using a Smartphone, it is not recommended to put it in your pocket while streaming, also Line-OfSight operation will enhance the range.
Q: Can I connect the Dongle to a Bluetooth® speaker or headphone? A: No, the unit only acts as “Slave” and can only be connected to a “Master” device (Phone, tablet, PC…etc.).

Canada – IC
Industry Canada Radio Standards Specification (RSS) RSS-210 RSSGen and ICES-003
This device complies with Industry Canada license exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d’Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L’exploitation est autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) l’appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l’utilisateur de l’appareil doit accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d’en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante
