Product Features

The FM transmitter is used to transmit music or voice from a mobile device (smartphone, tablet, etc.) to an FM playback device (such as a car radio) in high quality in a car, caravan or boat. At the same time, up to two terminal devices can be charged simultaneously using the USB connections. The FM transmitter is compatible with all terminal devices that have a Bluetooth ® function. The FM transmitter can also transmit music or voice directly from a USB stick (maximum of 32 GB) or a microSD card (maximum of 32 GB).

Getting Started and Operation

• Plug the FM transmitter into a power socket of your vehicle’s electrical system, and then establish the Bluetooth ® connection between the mobile device and the FM transmitter as described below.
• Alternatively, audio files can be transferred directly from a USB stick or microSD card.

Note

• For some vehicle types, the ignition has to be switched on to supply power to the 12 V car socket. For more information, please refer to your vehicle’s operating instructions.
• Disconnect all cable and on-board connections after use.

Bluetooth® pairing

Note

• Check whether your mobile device (MP3 player, mobile phone, etc.) is Bluetooth ® capable.
• If not, the only way you can use the FM transmitter for playback is with a USB stick or microSD card.
• Note that the maximum range for Bluetooth ® is 10 metres without obstacles such as walls, people, etc.
• Make sure that your Bluetooth ® capable terminal device is on and Bluetooth ® is activated.
• Plug the FM transmitter into a car socket located near the car radio.
• Make sure that the FM transmitter is within the maximum Bluetooth ® range of 10 metres.
• Open the Bluetooth ® settings on your terminal device and wait until BT21H appears in the list of Bluetooth ® devices found.
• Select BT21H and wait until the FM transmitter is listed as connected in the Bluetooth ® settings on your terminal device.
  A transmission frequency is now shown on the display.

Note – Bluetooth ® password
Some terminal devices require a password in order to connect to another Bluetooth ® device.

Note – Connection impaired
After the FM transmitter and terminal device have been paired, a connection is established automatically. If the Bluetooth ® connection is not established automatically, check the following:

• Check the Bluetooth ® settings of your terminal device to see whether BT21H is connected. If not, repeat the steps listed under Bluetooth ® pairing.
• Check whether your terminal device and the FM transmitter are less than 10 metres apart. If not, move the devices closer together.
• Check whether obstacles are impairing the range. If so, move the devices closer together.
