To take full advantage of the aptX Low Latency codec (aptX-LL),the paired device
must also support aptX-LL. If the paired device only supports standard aptX, or
SBC (low-complexity subband codec), then the connection will default to those
codecs.

3) The RC500 is connected but I cannot hear any audio. What’s wrong?
• When both a 3.5mm audio cable and an optical cable are plugged in, the
AUX input (i.e. 3.5mm audio) will take priority. So if you want use the
device with optical connection, please remove aux cable.
• If there is no sound from the speaker when connected to the PC, please
ensure that you set the RC500 as the default playback device in your
computer speaker settings. (Right-click speaker icon on taskbar ->
playback devices -> select RC500 and set as default).

8. Reconnect
When the RC500 is powered on, it will automatically reconnect with the last
connected device. The device “A” LED will flash once every 2 seconds. If it fails
to reconnect after 30 seconds, it will enter pairing mode.
9. Use two RC500 with True Wireless Stereo (TWS)
(Note: To use TWS, you need two RC500 devices and two speakers)
9.1. What is TWS?
TWS enables you to use 2 sets of RC500 and speakers for streaming stereo
music. This may be useful for a studio environment where you need to cover a
large area and don’t want wires running between two RC500 units.
When using two RC500's as a pair of stereo speakers, the source device (e.g.
your phone) connects to the first RC500 (RC500-1) which adopts the L channel
audio. The RC500-1 then connects directly with the second RC500 (RC500-2)
and streams the R channel audio to it.

12. Troubleshooting
1) Why do I experience audio lag when watching TV or movies?
Make sure the transmitting device supports aptX low latency (visit
www.aptx.com for a list of supported devices). Alternatively you can choose
either the Avantree Oasis or our Priva III - both support aptX low latency.
2) The range doesn’t seem far enough or the audio sometimes cuts out.
What can I do?
• Please ensure there is a clear line-of-sight between the RC500 and your
audio source (phone) as Bluetooth cannot transmit through walls or other
obstacles.
• Wi-Fi routers, wireless speakers, cordless phones and other wireless
devices can affect Bluetooth reception. Please relocate your RC500 so it is
not too close to such devices.
• To get the full 164FT/50M range, the transmitting device must also be a
“class 1” rated Bluetooth device like the RC500.
-- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
-- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC ID: 2AITF-BTRC-500
To maintain compliance with FCC’s RF Exposure guidelines, This equipment
should be installed and operated with minimum distance between 20cm the radiator
your body: Use only the supplied antenna.
