How to Make Wireless Connection with Bluetooth
Devices
You can enjoy music and hands-free calling with the system wirelessly by using your device’s Bluetooth function.
Choose one of the following three connection methods, best suited for the Bluetooth device. For details on how to operate your device,
refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device.
Pairing with a Bluetooth device: see Pattern A
Bluetooth devices need to be “paired” with each other beforehand.
Connecting with a paired device: see Pattern B
To listen to music with a Bluetooth device that has been paired, see this pattern.
One touch connection with a smartphone (NFC): see Pattern C
Using an NFC compatible smartphone, you can establish a Bluetooth connection by just touching the system with it.
Check the following before operating the system.
 Both the system and the device are placed within 1 m (3 ft) of each other.
 The system is connected to a power source, or batteries are installed in the system.
 The operating instructions supplied with the device are kept at hand.
Pattern A Pairing and connecting with a Bluetooth device
1 Turn on the system.
2 Set the Bluetooth function of the Bluetooth device to on.
For details, refer to the operating instructions supplied with the device.
3 Press and hold the BLUETOOTH PAIRING button on the system until beeps are heard and the
(Bluetooth) indicator (blue) begins to flash quickly.
Tip
 When the system is turned on first, the (Bluetooth) indicator (blue) starts flashing quickly.
Indicator flashes quickly.
4 Perform the pairing procedure on the Bluetooth device to detect the system.
If “SRS-BTM8” does not appear on the device’s display, repeat from step 2.
Note
 Some devices cannot display a list of detected devices.
5 Select “SRS-BTM8” shown in the display of the Bluetooth device.
6 If Passcode* input is required on the display of the Bluetooth device, input “0000.”
The Bluetooth connection is established and the (Bluetooth) indicator (blue) on the system stays on.
* Passcode may be called “Passkey,” “PIN code,” “PIN number,” or “Password.”
Tip
 To pair with other Bluetooth devices, repeat steps 2 to 6 for each device.
Notes
 Pairing mode of the system is canceled after about 5 minutes, and the (Bluetooth) indicator (blue) flashes slowly. If the pairing mode is
canceled while performing this procedure, start over from step 3.  Passcode of the system is fixed as “0000.” The system cannot be paired with a Bluetooth device whose Passcode is not “0000.”
 Once Bluetooth devices are paired, there is no need to pair those devices again. However, in the following cases, you will need to perform the
pairing procedure again.
Pairing information is deleted after repair, etc. The system is paired with 5 or more devices.
The system can be paired with up to 4 Bluetooth devices. If a new device is paired after 4 devices have been paired, the device whose latest
connection time is the oldest among the 4 paired devices is replaced by the new one.
 More than one device can be paired with the system, but sound will be heard from just one of those devices.

What is Bluetooth wireless
technology?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range wireless
technology that enables wireless data communication between
digital devices, such as a computer and digital camera. Bluetooth
wireless technology operates within a range of about 10 m (30
ft).
Connecting two devices as necessary is common, but some
devices can be connected to multiple devices at the same time.
You do not need to use a cable for connection, nor is it necessary
for the devices to face one another, such is the case with infrared
technology. For example, you can use such a device in a bag or
pocket.
Bluetooth standard is an international standard supported by
thousands of companies all over the world, and employed by
various companies worldwide.
Communication System and Compatible
Bluetooth Profiles of the system
Profile is standardisation of the function for each Bluetooth
device specification. The system supports the following
Bluetooth version and profiles:
Communication System:
Bluetooth Specification version 3.0
Compatible Bluetooth Profiles:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile): Transmitting or
receiving audio content of high-quality.
AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile): Controlling A/V
equipment; pausing, stopping, or starting playback, etc.
HSP (Headset Profile): Talking on the phone/Operating the
phone.
HFP (Hands-free Profile): Talking on the phone/Operating the
phone by hands-free.
Maximum communication range
Use Bluetooth devices within 10 m (about 30 ft) (line of sight) of
the system.
Maximum communication range may shorten under the
following conditions.
There is an obstacle such as a person, metal, or wall between
the system and Bluetooth device.
A wireless LAN device is in use near the system.
A microwave oven is in use near the system.
A device that generates electromagnetic radiation is in use
near the system.
Interference from other devices
Because Bluetooth devices and wireless LAN (IEEE802.11b/g) use
the same frequency, microwave interference may occur and
resulting in communication speed deterioration, noise, or invalid
connection if the system is used near a wireless LAN device. In
such a case, perform the following.
Use the system at least 10 m (about 30 ft) away from the
wireless LAN device.
If the system is used within 10 m (about 30 ft) of a wireless
LAN device, turn off the wireless LAN device.
Interference to other devices
Microwaves emitting from a Bluetooth device may affect the
operation of electronic medical devices. Turn off the system and
other Bluetooth devices in the following locations, as it may
cause an accident.
where inflammable gas is present, in a hospital, train,
airplane, or a gas station
near automatic doors or a fire alarm
Notes
 To be able to use the Bluetooth function, the Bluetooth device
to be connected requires the same profile as the system’s.
Note also that even if the same profile exists, devices may vary
in function depending on their specifications.
 Due to the characteristic of Bluetooth wireless technology, the
sound played on the system is slightly delayed from the sound
played on the Bluetooth device during talking on the
telephone or listening to the music.
 This system supports security capabilities that comply with
the Bluetooth standard to provide a secure connection when
the Bluetooth wireless technology is used, but security may
not be enough depending on the setting. Be careful when
communicating using Bluetooth wireless technology.
 We do not take any responsibility for the leakage of
information during Bluetooth communication.
 A device featuring the Bluetooth function is required to
conform to the Bluetooth standard specified by Bluetooth SIG,
and be authenticated. Even if the connected device conforms
to the above mentioned Bluetooth standard, some devices
may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the
features or specifications of the device.
 Noise or sound skips may occur depending on the Bluetooth
device connected with the system, the communication
environment or the usage environment.
