Thank you for purchasing an AirTurn BT500
Bluetooth controller. We hope you enjoy many years of
use from it. From page turning, to effects management
and presentation control, the AirTurn provides a
myriad of uses.
BEFORE TURNING ON YOUR AirTurn
The BT500 works with most Bluetooth 4 and 5 devices. This
includes iPad 3 and later, iPhone 4S and later, and most devices
running Android 4.3 or later with Bluetooth 4 or 5.
Most PCs and Macs equipped with Bluetooth 4.x or 5 and HID
(keyboard) support are compatible. For older PCs you can use
Bluetooth 4.1 or 5 USB dongles that can connect to the AirTurn.
A compatible app is required. Apps are listed on the AirTurn
website: https://AirTurn.com/apps
There are three compatibility modes: AirTurn Direct, HID,
(keyboard), and MIDI. Not all compatible apps will function in
every mode. See the MODES section for additional information.

BT500 CONTROLS
The BT500 series uses the same transceiver for each model. The
controls consist of a power button, a membrane pad with 5
buttons, a dedicated Mode button, two stereo ports for use with
up to four pedals, two LED indicators, and a USB-C port for
charging. The function of each button is explained on page 12.

POWER
ON - Press and hold the Power Button for one second and the
LEDs flash.
The blue LED will begin to blink 2 times per second until pairing
is started.
OFF - Press and hold the Power Button until the red and blue
LEDs turn off.
CONNECTING AND PAIRING
Once the AirTurn is selected for pairing, the blue LED will
blink 5 times per second until pairing is completed.
OPEN AND CLOSED PAIRING
AirTurn devices have the ability to pair to your tablet or
computer two different ways. We call them Open and Closed
pairing. Open pairing is the default method.
OPEN PAIRING
AirTurn devices pair in the same way that almost all Bluetooth
devices pair. In Open Pairing you do not need to delete the
pairing to connect to another device so you can easily connect
your AirTurn to your iPad, smartphone or computer. In fact, you
6
can connect up to 8 Bluetooth devices. (In MODE 1 (AirDirect)
you can connect to an unlimited number of devices).
Bear in mind you can only be connected to one device at a
time. If two of your devices have Bluetooth turned on, you
must turn off the Bluetooth of the one you do not wish to
connect to while you connect to the other device. No reset is
required with Open Pairing.
If you connect to more than 8 devices, the next pairing will
delete the pairing that you haven’t used recently. If you delete or
“forget” the pairing of the AirTurn on a device, restart the
Bluetooth and attempt to re-pair with the AirTurn – It may
require two attempts to connect.
CLOSED PAIRING
This method locks one AirTurn to one tablet, phone or computer.
Use this method if you only intend to be connected to one
tablet, phone or computer. Also, use this method if you are in
an ensemble with other players using AirTurn devices. It will
ensure that you don’t inadvertently connect to each other’s
devices. Pairing is required in all MODES.
RESET PAIRING
To delete all pairings, or if you would like to connect to another
device, or you are having connection problems, you can pair
again by removing all the existing pairing connections.
7
First, delete the pairing from the host device and turn off the
Bluetooth. Then, hold the power button on the AirTurn for 6
seconds. The LEDs will turn off, but don’t release until they
blink 3 more times. You are now ready to pair again.
SWITCHING BETWEEN PAIRING METHODS
You can easily switch between Open and Closed pairing
methods. With your AirTurn powered off, hold down the MODE
button and hold the power button to turn on as usual. Both LEDs
will flash to confirm – twice for open pairing, three times for
closed pairing. You can also change the Pairing method using the
AirTurn Manager App, in Advanced settings.
PAIRING IN AIRDIRECT MODE 1
Note: This MODE is for AirDirect specific apps only. AirDirect
MODE was created to prevent conflicts with the virtual
keyboard.
