DC-8BT
Wireless Docking Station
Installation and Operating Instructions v1.1
Description
The Knoll DC-8BT is a docking station that wirelessly connects to any
Bluetooth enabled source device (such as an iPod, iPad, most cell
phones, notebooks, etc.). It allows the source music or audio to be
played back wirelessly through your home amplifier and speakers.
A DC-8BT key feature is the ability to keep your Bluetooth enabled
source device next to you at all times, so you know what is playing
and can easily make changes without have to move to the docking
station.
Full 20-20 kHz response with proprietary
digital to analog conversion firmware
Tiny, fits almost anywhere near your
stereo.
Very simple operation with super easy
pairing
3.5mm to RCA stereo cable and 3.5mm to
3.5mm stereo cable included.
Power adaptor works with 100 VAC to 240
VAC 50-60 Hz
Built in rechargeable battery for up to 8
hours operation.
Connecting to your home amplifier or receiver and
speakers
The DC-8BT Bluetooth Dock provides a fixed level (line level) output,
which means that it needs to be connected to an amplifier or powered
speaker that has a volume control. Some, but not all, Bluetooth
enabled devices (cell phone, laptop, etc.) have the ability to adjust the
volume built into them.
Select which included cable will be used with this installation. Connect
the 3.5mm stereo mini plug to the DC-8BT rear panel jack. Connect
the two RCA plugs or the other end of the 3.5mm cable to the AUX in
or other input (but not phono) plugs usually found on the rear of the
amplifier or receiver.
Connect the AC power adapter to the rear jack of the DC-8BT
connector labeled “DC In” and then plug the adaptor supplied AC
power adaptor into a wall power outlet. The blue and red LED lights
will alternate to indicate the docking station is powered up and ready
to be paired with your Bluetooth source device (such as iPad, cell
phone, etc.)
Bluetooth Pairing
1. Go to the Bluetooth Manager of your source device by
following these steps.
a. From your source (iPhone, iPod etc.) home page, select
“Settings”
b. Inside Settings tap on “General” or “Wireless settings”
c. Inside General, tap on “Bluetooth”
2. Select “Bluetooth devices” or “Bluetooth settings” and scan for
(Bluetooth) devices.
3. A device should soon be displayed on the list that usually
reads “Knoll DC-8BT”. Select it by touching it or clicking on it.
4. If required enter ‘0000’ when the player asks for the pin code.
This will allow the source to pair with the DC-8BT Bluetooth
Dock.
5. Once paired the blue LED light will stay on when a connection
is established.
Some devices, such as the iPhone, will connect immediately after
pairing and the LED will stay on. Other devices, such as laptops, may
ask you if you wish to connect and the LED may turn off until after
pairing is established.
Although the DC-8BT can only play music from one device at a time, it
is capable of being paired with up to four source devices. This means
that you only have to enter the PIN code one time for each device.
Your DC-8BT Bluetooth Dock is now connected and ready to play
music! Simply play music on your device, as you normally would and
the sound will come out of your stereo speakers.
Please note the DC-8BT Bluetooth Dock has a maximum 50’ (15m)
range in ideal conditions.
Reconnecting your Device
If you move out of range or turn off the Bluetooth feature on your
iPhone or iPod, the DC-8BT will disconnect from your device. To
reconnect, simply access the Bluetooth Manager on your device, and
select the appropriate device listed. You should not be asked to enter
the PIN code again.
Changing Connected Device
If you want to switch from one device to another follow these steps:
1. End the existing Bluetooth connection with the connected
device. Access the Bluetooth Manager and disable the
Bluetooth function of the iPhone or iPod touch.
2. The DC-8BT Bluetooth Dock can now be connected to a
different source such as an iPhone or iPod.
3. Follow the directions in “Bluetooth Pairing” to connect to a
different device.
Out of Range or Lost Signal
If the source music device is out of range (beyond 30-50 feet) of the
DC-8BT or if something is blocking the signal, the LED light will turn
off to indicate that the Bluetooth connection with the music device has
been lost. To avoid lost connections:
1. Move the music device back into range (within 30-50 feet)
and/or make sure there is a clear line of sight and that there
are no obstructions between the DC-8BT receiver and the
music source (iPhone or iPod etc.).
2. Within 15 seconds the connection will automatically be
reestablished and the blue LED light will turn on.
3. If the connection is lost for more than 15 seconds, the
connection will need to be reestablished. Follow the directions
in “Reconnecting your Device” above.
Troubleshooting Solutions: You can quickly solve most
problems with your DC-8BT Bluetooth Dock by yourself:
“Music is not playing on my stereo speakers”
Make sure the DC-8BT power supply is powered.
Make sure an audio cable is correctly and firmly connected
to the DC-8BT and your home stereo amplifier.
Make sure the stereo amplifier is powered on and the right
source is selected.
Make sure the stereo volume is set to a comfortable
listening level (on both the stereo amp and the source).
Make sure you are within range of the DC-8BT receiver and
that your source (iPhone, iPod etc.) is properly paired to the
DC-8BT receiver.
If you are still unable to get sound from your DC-8BT, it may
be necessary to un-pair and re-pair with your device. This
can be done by removing or ‘forgetting’ the DC-8BT from
your device Bluetooth manager and repeating the steps to
pair to your device.
