AirFly Pro Manual Details
This section details the AirFly Pro, covering its features, pairing process, transmit and receive modes, charging information, and status light explanations. Detailed guides are included for optimal use.
Pairing AirFly Pro with AirPods
To pair your AirFly Pro with AirPods in transmit mode, begin by pressing and holding the power button for four seconds. The AirFly Pro will then flash amber and white indicating it’s in pairing mode. If it does not flash, press the reset button. Ensure your AirPods are also in pairing mode. The initial pairing can take up to 90 seconds, but the AirFly Pro will remember your AirPods for future connections. Once successfully paired, the light on the AirFly Pro will turn solid white briefly, then turn off after about ten seconds. For detailed instructions, consult the user manual. If only one AirPod is playing sound, turn the AirFly Pro off and back on to correct the issue. This step-by-step process ensures a seamless connection between your AirFly Pro and AirPods.
Transmit and Receive Modes
The AirFly Pro offers both transmit and receive modes, catering to different audio needs. In transmit mode, the AirFly Pro connects to devices like in-flight entertainment systems or gym equipment with a headphone jack, sending audio wirelessly to your Bluetooth headphones. This allows you to listen to audio from non-Bluetooth devices. Conversely, in receive mode, the AirFly Pro acts as a Bluetooth receiver, allowing wired headphones to connect to Bluetooth devices. This means you can use your favorite wired headphones with your smartphone or other Bluetooth-enabled devices. To switch between modes, refer to the user manual for specific instructions. Understanding these modes is essential for optimizing your audio experience with the AirFly Pro device and choosing the correct one for your needs.
Charging AirFly Pro
To charge your AirFly Pro, connect it to a power source using the provided USB cable. The device will show a solid amber light while charging, indicating that the battery is being replenished. Once fully charged, the amber light will turn off, typically within two hours or less, depending on the current battery level. It’s important to ensure that you are using a reliable power source to avoid any charging issues. A fully charged AirFly Pro provides up to 25 hours of use, letting you enjoy your wireless audio experience without frequent recharges. Regular charging of your AirFly Pro ensures that it is always ready for use when you need it. Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures while charging.
AirFly Pro Status Light Guide
The AirFly Pro uses a status light to communicate its current state. When powered on, the light will flash white twice. During pairing mode, the light will flash white and amber, indicating it is ready to connect with your headphones. A solid amber light signifies that the device is charging, and the light will turn off when fully charged. If the light flashes white twice every 5 seconds, it means that the AirFly Pro is in standby mode, paired with headphones but they are not active or turned on. Understanding these light indicators helps users monitor the device’s status and troubleshoot any issues. This light guide will help you understand the current state of your device.

Troubleshooting and FAQs
This section addresses common issues, like pairing problems, and provides answers to frequently asked questions about AirFly devices, including volume and mute functions. It is important to read for a better understanding;
Common Pairing Issues
Experiencing difficulty pairing your AirFly device with your headphones or AirPods is a common concern, often stemming from incorrect pairing procedures. Ensure your headphones are in Bluetooth pairing mode before attempting to connect. If the AirFly does not flash amber and white when powered on, a reset might be needed using the reset button on the device. Sometimes, the initial pairing can take up to 90 seconds. If only one AirPod seems to have audio, try turning the AirFly off and then back on. The AirFly will remember your paired device for future use, but ensure your headphone’s Bluetooth is turned off if you have a problem. If pairing is still a problem, consult the manufacturer’s user guide for more tips and tricks. Be aware that a flashing white and amber light indicates it’s in pairing mode.
Volume Control and Muting
Controlling the volume on your AirFly device is straightforward, utilizing the dedicated volume buttons located on the device. To increase the volume, press the volume up button, and to decrease it, press the volume down button. You can also press and hold these buttons for a gradual adjustment until you reach your desired level or the maximum or minimum volume limit. The AirFly device does not have a dedicated mute button, but reducing the volume to the lowest level will effectively silence the audio. Remember that the AirFly’s volume control interacts with the audio output and not the source device volume. The volume control affects the audio output of the AirFly device when in use. When using the volume buttons, make sure to monitor sound levels to prevent damage to your ears.
