Troubleshooting

Why is my BTS Pro not pairing?

There are a few reasons why your BTS Pro might not be pairing:

  1. You might already be paired and are forcing a re-pair.
  2. Your smartphone, tablet or PC’s Bluetooth radio might be off (please turn it on).
  3. Your BTS Pro might be out of range with the device you are trying to pair.
  4. You might have an active Bluetooth connection to another headphone (disconnect it).

Once you pair with a device, you don’t need to pair with it again.

I am having connection issues, what do I do?

There are a few reasons why you might be experiencing connection issues or interference:

  1. You are out of range1
  2. You are using a thick, protective case with your smartphone that blocks and significantly degrades the Bluetooth radio signal2
  3. You have an older smartphone that uses an older Bluetooth standard
  4. You are running an operating system version with known Bluetooth issues - please make sure you are running the latest operating system provided by your device manufacturer.
  5. You need to reset your Bluetooth Cache (for Android users) or simply restart your device (for iPhone and iPad users).

1. The BTS Pro has undergone extensive testing to reach 100+ feet of range with the latest smartphones, tablets and PC’s - however, some older devices simply cannot support such a high-bandwidth Bluetooth connection due to their software, radio location and/or radio technology. Please contact us at support@66audio.com if you run into connection issues.

2. Thick, protective carrying cases have been shown to reduce Bluetooth radio signals by up to 70% in some cases. While we understand the need to protect your devices, please note that using such hard cases will significantly degrade the performance of your headphones and other Bluetooth devices.

My BTS Pro is not turning on - help!

There are few reasons why your BTS Pro might not be turning on:

Alternatively, the red LED on the headphone will flash when the battery is low and you will hear an audible tone every few seconds alerting you to a low battery.

Note: The status bar battery meter is supported on iOS devices only including iPhone and iPad running iOS 7 or later.

How do I use the BTS with my Apple Watch?

There are two ways to use your BTS with your Apple Watch.

If you’d like to listen to music from your iPhone with your Apple Watch, you simply need to be paired with your iPhone. There is no need to pair with the watch itself. In this case, the Apple Watch does not stream music to your BTS directly. It is being used as a remote control for the music being streamed from your iPhone and cannot function without an iPhone nearby. Simply pair the BTS with your iPhone and control music from the watch.

If you’d like to listen to music on your Apple Watch, without your iPhone, you need to sync music directly to your Apple Watch.

This is not an issue with the REVOLUTION itself, rather an issue with legacy hardware. Please contact us at support@66audio.com if you’re experiencing any connectivity and range issues.

How long does the battery take to charge from empty?

The average charge time from empty is around 2-2.5 hours using a standard 110v USB powered adapter.

Where can I see the battery level of my REVOLUTION?

The REVOLUTION features a real-time battery indicator available in the status bar on iOS devices.

Alternatively, the red LED on the headphone will flash when the battery is low and you will hear an audible tone every few seconds alerting you to a low battery.

Note: The status bar battery meter is supported on iOS devices only including iPhone and iPad running iOS 7 or later.

How do I use the REVOLUTION with my Apple Watch?

There are two ways to use your REVOLUTION with your Apple Watch.

If you’d like to listen to music from your iPhone with your Apple Watch, you simply need to be paired with your iPhone. There is no need to pair with the watch itself. In this case, the Apple Watch does not stream music to your REVOLUTION directly. It is being used as a remote control for the music being streamed from your iPhone and cannot function without an iPhone nearby. Simply pair the REVOLUTION with your iPhone and control music from the watch.

If you’d like to listen to music on your Apple Watch, without your iPhone, you need to sync music directly to your Apple Watch. Once you’ve synced music to your Apple Watch, you can pair your REVOLUTION to your Watch and listen to music without your iPhone. You will not be able to access music stored on your iPhone only or iPhone apps that require data/wifi. (You will effectively be using your Apple Watch like an iPod.)

How do I mute my microphone while on a phone call?

To mute your microphone while on a phone call, press and hold the Volume - button for 2 seconds until you hear a short tone. You will hear an intermittent tone while the call is muted. Pressing the Volume - button again for 2 seconds will un-mute your call.
