Clip it on
Typically the BlueLink Ultimate is clipped onto the seatbelt when used – and this is the reason for using a 45cm flexible cable between the headset/Avee microphone and the BlueLink.
Please note that this cable is the standard Avee500 cable which comes in three different lengths (sold separately): if you want a longer cable between the headset and the BlueLink- simply choose a longer variant of the Avee500 cable.
Keep in mind that the BlueLink weight is only 44 grams (the A20 controller is around 300 grams) so it is not likely that this unit will cause strain on your neck.
What it is shipped with
The Avee BlueLink Ultimate is shipped with the following parts:
- The Avee560 BlueLink
- A 55cm length (Avee500) interface cable between the BlueLink and the Avee microphone.
Please note that ANY Avee500 length cable can be used between the BlueLink and the Avee microphone - USB A to USB C charge cable.

Switch the Bluelink on by pressing and holding the On/Off key for some 6 seconds.
The BlueLink will switch on and respond with the audio messages ‘Audio BlueLink Power On’ and ‘Pairing mode’ plus a blue blinking led to indicate that the Bluelink is in paring mode.
The pairing mode is only entered at startup when the Bluelink has not been paired to any device – for instance after a factory reset.
Pair the Bluelink by using to your Bluetooth device (phone, pad or computer). Connect it
to the Bluelink via the standard Bluetooth setup on your device.
The BlueLink is named BlueLink (xxx) – where xxx is a unique address for each BlueLink. No password is needed.
Once paired, the flashing led will change from blue to green. The indication led will switch off 10 seconds after the last keypress.
The BlueLink will automatically reconnect to a previously
connected device when it is switched on.

The play & pause button is the top-most key on the BlueLink.

Start playing stereo music by tapping the play & pause shortly.
Double tap to move to – and play the next song.
Hold the play button for 0.5 seconds to go back to the
previously played song. The BlueLink will tell you what it is doing with short audio messages.
