Bluetooth troubleshooting guide

If you are having problems connecting your Bluetooth device to the CXA, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Ensure that the supplied Bluetooth antenna is properly connected to the back of the unit. The CXA61/81 will be unable to connect to a Bluetooth device without the antenna connected. Try disconnecting and then re-connecting the antenna.

  • Ensure that the Bluetooth source has been selected by selecting the Bluetooth/USB Audio button on the front panel. The Bluetooth source is shown by the symbol being lit blue. When the USB source is active the LED will be orange.

  • Ensure that your Bluetooth device is in pairing mode and not already connected to another Bluetooth unit.

  • Forget the CXA from your devices’ list of discoverable Bluetooth items and start the pairing process again.

  • Perform a factory reset on the CXA (see 'Factory Reset' section above).
