BLUETOOTH PAIRING: CONNECTING TO PAIRED DEVICES

The 8/uetooth button also works as a multifunction button, allowing you to switch connection between paired devices. Press the button once to switch between paired devices.

When switching between paired devices, the LED indicator will flash white a number of times to indicate the paired device’s sequence. If no devices are available to pair when the 8/uetooth button is pressed, Creative BT-WS will remain in search mode and alternate between paired devices for 20s each time based on their sequence while the LED indicator flashes white.

HFPMODE

Hands-free Profile (HFP) mode allows wireless communication on your 8/uetooth- enabled devices with built-in microphone when the audio transmitter is connected and in use. When Creative BT-WS is removed and plugged into another USB port on a separate device, it will exit HFP mode and return to its usual function.
