Introduction
You can install this kit into your ceiling for easy and safe music listening
in any room you choose. It is simple to pair with any Bluetooth enabled device
such as a smart-phone or tablet, and minimises the risk of water damage to
your expensive electronics. Perfect for kitchens, bedrooms and bathrooms.
The prewired compact Bluetooth module is fitted in the ceiling space and can
be connected to an existing lighting circuit.
The speakers are very low profile and when mounted sit almost flush with the
ceiling. They are fitted in the ceiling in much the same way as downlights and
fit into cut outs the same size as most downlights for a simple and discrete
solution.
Positioning and planning the wiring of the Bluetooth module
There are three methods for connecting the Bluetooth module to an existing
6A lighting circuit.
Bear in mind you need to position the module within 3m of both speakers if you
want to use the prewired speaker cable to reach the speakers in their mounted
position.
-
Wiring to an existing lighting rose if there is sufficient terminal space. Please note this method should only be used if you want the Bluetooth module pow-ered only when the lighting is switched on.
-
Wiring a new junction box into the lighting circuit.
This method requires running a new cable to an on/off light switch. -
Wiring to an existing Wago type junction box in the lighting circuit. This method requires running a new cable to an on/off light switch.
Positioning and wiring a power ON/OFF switch for the Bluetooth module
There are a number of options for positioning an ON/OFF switch.
- Running a cable from a ceiling junction box to anew wall mounted switch or ceiling pull cord switch.
- Running a cable from a ceiling junction box to an existing switch position and replacing a single light switch with a twin lighting switch (or replacing a twin switch with a triple switch).
N.B. We have supplied a transparent label with a speaker symbol to mark the switch used for the speaker.

Mounting the Speakers
Once you have wired your module to the mains and switch you can mount the
speakers.
Make sure the 3m prewired speaker cables will reach the speakers in the
mounting position chosen. Check that there are no hidden cables or pipework in
the chosen locations.
- Using a 74mm hole saw and drill to make holes in the ceiling (if 74mm holesaw is not available 72-76mm saws can be used). There is a cutout template on P20.
- Pull the speaker cable through the hole and attach to the speaker terminals.
- Point the spring clips upwards and fit the two arms into the ceiling hole (See Fig 4 & 5).
- Push the speaker upward until firmly in position, ensuring that the cable is not trapped (See Fig 5 & 6).
Pairing your speakers
with Bluetooth enabled mobiles and tablets
Once wiring is completed switch on the module and you will hear a triple tone
to indicate the module is ready to pair. Select the Bluetooth function on your
mobile/de-vice and search for Bluetooth devices. The speaker will appear as
“iStar BTCSK” in the Bluetooth device list, se-lect and pair. Enter the
following Pin Code 1122 to pair.
After successful pairing you will hear a double beep. You can now play audio
from your mobile/device.
Please Note: If the pairing is not successful, switch off for 10 seconds,
switch back on and try again.Each time the module is switched off and the
device is disconnect-ed it will not reconnect automatically when the module is
switched back on. This allows other devices to connect to the module.
Re-connecting to a previously paired device or pairing a new device
Once switched off leave the module switched off for 60 seconds before
switching on again to pair to a new de-vice or to connect to a previously
paired device. If when you switch on you don’t hear the triple tone indicating
the module is ready to connect/pair switch off and wait a further 60 seconds
before switching on again. It may be necessary to unpair the previously
connected device before a new device can be connected.
Troubleshooting
Q1 The sound is low or completely silent.
A1 Make sure your mobile/device is charged.
A2 Make sure your Bluetooth connection is fully functioning.
A3 Check the volume of your mobile/device and that an audible audio track is
playing.
Q2 My device cannot find the module.
Al If when you switch on the module you don’t hear the triple tone indicating
that the module is ready to connect/pair, switch off and wait a further 60
seconds.
Switch back on and you should hear the triple tone and “iStar BTCSK” should
appear in your Bluetooth device list .
A2 Another device may still be connected to the module.
To disconnect the other device switch off the module for 60 seconds as above
and then pair your device.
