OPTIONAL BLUETOOTH OPERATIONAL

INSTRUCTIONS

Revision 1.0.2

Jan 16, 2014

Firmware version: Arrakis 1.1

Congratulations on your purchase of an ARC series console. One possible feature with your 
console is the Bluetooth channel. This section of the manual will assist with the operation of 
the Bluetooth feature. 

Bluetooth is an optional feature for the ARC series consoles (ARC-10 series & ARC-15). The Part 
number in the order will specify 'blue' at the end, if you have purchased a Bluetooth version. For 
example, the ARC-10BP-blue has Bluetooth, but the ARC-10BP does not.

 

On your ARC series console, you will
notice your Bluetooth controls on the
left side of the meter panel. The
antenna is located on the top, and
there are 2 buttons with specific tasks. 

Bluetooth audio will play out the
Bluetooth channel (CH 10 for ARC-10,
CH 15 for ARC-15). This is the phone
hybrid channel, and may alternatively
be used with your phone hybrid. The
phone and Bluetooth audio sums  into
this channel.

Operational Instructions:

HOW TO PAIR

To connect your cell phone, tablet, or Bluetooth device to the console:

1. Power up your ARC console. If already powered on, then leave the console on.
2. Press and hold the green 

Call

 button for exactly 5 seconds, and then release. 

You will hear a beep on the Bluetooth channel. 

3. You will notice the red 

Drop

 button will now blink on your console. This means it 

is ready to connect. In your cell phone, tablet, or other device, turn on the 
Bluetooth option. You will have 10 minutes to pair. After the 10 minutes, it will 
still flash, but you will need to start back at step 1 to pair.

4. In your device settings, select 

Search for devices

. This step is different 

depending on the device you are connecting. 

5. Your device should find 

ARRAKIS 1.

X (X = the firmware version). Select to 

connect.

6. Now that your device is paired, the red 

Drop

 button should now be constant lit. 

7. After your device is paired, you will only need to reconnect within your device. It 

is as simple as finding the Bluetooth device and select the option to Connect.
