Connect the mini-USB cable to the Home RTX and to the included power supply. Receiving mode (RX): Use this if intending to use the Home RTX as a Bluetooth wireless music receiver (i.e. receive music from your mobile phone or laptop or other transmitter). Using one of the included audio cables connect one end into the ports labelled “Audio Out” and connect the other end to your stereo receiver or other audio input. Transmitting mode (TX): Use this if intending to use the Home RTX as a Bluetooth wireless music transmitter (i.e. transmit music from your Stereo receiver, MP3 player or other audio source). Using one of the included audio cables connect one end into the rear ports labelled “Audio Input” and connect the other end to your stereo receiver or other source audio output. Pairing the Home RTX “Pairing” means making a wireless connection. In order for music streaming to begin the Home RTX must pair with another device that supports the Bluetooth wireless (A2DP) protocol. This is a two part process; one part is carried out on the Home RTX and the other is carried out on the other device. Once the pairing process is complete the devices do not need to be paired again. To reconnect simply power them both on and they will remember each other and automatically connect. Note: Only one device at a time can be paired with the Home RTX. Using the Home RTX as a music receiver (RX Mode): 1. Press and hold the center power button for 3 seconds or until the Blue LED flashes. 2. Press and hold the RX button for 5 seconds or until the LED flashes red and blue (indicating pairing mode). 3. Next, power on and enter pairing mode with your Bluetooth compatible transmitting device. Such devices include Smartphones, Tablets, PCs, Laptops or the Mini-jack TX. (refer to the device documentation for more information on the pairing process). 4. Search for the Home RTX on your mobile phone, laptop or tablet and then select connect. To finish the pairing process some devices may require a passkey or code if so use “0000”. 5. Within 10-20 seconds the devices should discover each other and connect. Once they are paired, the Home RTX's indicator LED will be solid blue. 6. To power off the Home RTX press and hold the center button for 3 seconds. 7. Once the devices have been paired you do not need to repeat the pairing process, simply power them on and they will remember and should automatically connect with each other. Using the Home RTX as a music transmitter (TX Mode): 1. First power on and enter pairing or discovery mode with your Bluetooth compatible receiving device. Such devices include the Miccus Mini-jack RX or headphones, speakers and more. (refer to the receiving device documentation for more information on the pairing process). 2.
