Mounting the Adapter With Screws

• Mount the adapter using screws to hold it in place.

Use four M5 screws at least 13 mm long.

1. Place the Bluetooth Adapter on the desired location.
2. Mark the surface through the four mounting holes to determine the location of the screw holes.
3. Pre-drill the holes to accommodate four M5 screws.
4. Attach the adapter securely to the surface.

Mounting the Adapter with Cable Ties

Mount the adapter using cable ties to hold it in place.
Use two cable ties a maximum 8 mm wide and 3 mm thick.

NOTE: Mount the adapter no more than 2 m (6 ft 5in.) above the floor.

1. Place the Bluetooth adapter in the desired location.
2. Thread a cable tie through the top two mounting holes and wrap it around the pole. Tighten the cable tie.
3. Trim excess cable tie length.
4. Repeat the process for the bottom mounting holes.

Connecting the Adapter

Connect the Bluetooth Adapter to the host computer to provide a Bluetooth connection.
Use cable CBA-U46-S07ZAR.

1. Connect the latching end of the cable to the Bluetooth adapter port.
   • Press the cable firmly until you hear a click to ensure it is fully inserted into the port.
2. Connect the USB end of the cable to the host computer.

Pairing
