Basic Functions

Thank you for purchasing the DBM-1 Bluetooth Music Pedal. The DBM-1 works with many apps for Apple iOS, iPhones, iPads, and iPods, Bluetooth equipped Android devices, and Bluetooth equipped PC’s and MAC’s. You will find two foot-pedal switches on the left and right sides of the middle panel, controlling left and right movement or up and down movement within your favourite app

Modes

On the center panel are five buttons representing five different modes. The different modes are used to send different commands to your favorite app and selected device (Note: different. apps use different modes, so make sure to experiment with the different modes to determine which works with your favorite app). A small, yellow LED indicate which mode is selected.
In the table below, each mode button is listed with its function and use:

Power ON/OFF Indicators

• ON: Indicates that the DBM-1 is receiving power and is ready to setup/use.
• OFF: Indicates that the DBM-1 isn’t receiving power or has been turned off by the user.

Repeat ON/OFF Indicators

• The purpose of Repeat Mode is to scroll quickly through pages without having to continuously press the pedal until reaching the desired page.
• If the Repeat indicator is ON, pressing and holding the foot pedal will send continuous commands to the host computer/device. Pressing the right pedal, for example, will trigger an unlimited series of Right Arrow commands, which would quickly turn through multiple pages.
• If the Repeat indicator is OFF, pressing and holding the foot pedal will send a single command to the host computer/device. Pressing the right pedal, for example, will trigger a singer Right Arrow command.

Powering On

First, check the battery power level before you start using the product. In order to do this, the power toggle-switch must be turned on. After this, the LED indicator will light up with a specific color, suggesting the battery power level as listed below:

Pairing the Pedal

• To pair the pedal, first turn on the Bluetooth on the host device(Windows PC, Mac, iPad, iPhone, Android tablet or smart phone).
• Next, turn on the Bluetooth Music Pedal using the switch in the top sight hand corner of the panel. Inside the Bluetooth settings of the host device, select the Detect option and you should see “Bluetooth Music Pedal “appear.
• Select ” Bluetooth Music Pedal ” to create the connection.
• The pairing and synchronizing process will flash through multiple colors and last a few seconds and even up to a minute to complete.
• Once the pedal’s LED has stopped flashing rapidly and the device says “connected”, the pedal is fully paired with the host device and ready to use.

Troubleshooting

If you experience problems pairing, try the following:

• The first step is forgetting the ” Bluetooth Music Pedal ” from the host device’s settings.
• When the link between both devices is deleted, repeat the original pairing process described above.
• This time, the ” Reset ” Key must be pressed during 3 seconds while synchronizing for forgeting memory.
• Make sure there are no other keyboard, mouse, or stylus Bluetooth devices connected to your device. If there are. disconnect them and try pairing the BT2 again. If your !pad or (phone and the pedal pair successfully but pages won’t turn, check the following recommended app.

• Pairing State: The LED light flash for 200ms alternately and repeatedly.
• Its color represents the battery power levels. Reconnected State: The LED flash for 600ms and stop for 600ms within a period of 10 seconds. Its color represents the battery power levels, as well.
• Connected State: The LED flash for 500ms and stop for 1500ms repeatedly. Its color corresponds to the battery power levels.
• Offline State: The LED flash for 200ms and stop for 200ms alternately and repeatedly. Its color corresponds to the battery power levels.

Charging

Your DBM-1 built in battery should last 50+ hours on a single charge.
In order to increase the battery’s lifetime, avoid charging until battery is below 20% charge. We recommend charging once a month with normal weekly use.
When charging, the LED indicator will show a red light near the USB port. Once fully charged, the LED will turn green.
Charging the pedal with an electrical outlet will take approximately 3 hours reach a 100-percent charge.
Charging the pedal with a computer via USB will take approximately 7 hours reach a 100-percent charge.
When the Bluetooth Music Pedal is going to be used far from home or any possible power source, we recommend charging until it reaches full capacity.

Reconnected State

If the DBM-1 gets out of the connectivity range of 10 meters, the pedal will automatically disconnect and the Reconnected State will engage. The LED indicator will flash rapidly for 10 seconds and its color will correspond to the battery power levels.

Once the pedal gets back to the reception range of 10 meter, the Bluetooth connectivity will detect it and auto-connect. This process will be announced through LED flashes every 2 seconds.

Sleep Function

In order to save power, the DBM-1 will activate the Sleep function after 25 minutes of inactivity. To use again, simply press down either of the pedals and the BT2 will awake from Sleep mode and be ready to operate again.

Virtual Keyboard Function

Because the DBM-1 operates as a “keyboard”, your device will not automatically activate its built-in keyboard function when the DBM-1 is connected. So if you need to make notes within your sheet music app or use another function that requires keyboard abilities while the DBM-1 is connected, you will need to activate Virtual Keyboard Function. To activate the built-in Virtual Keyboard function, hold down both left and right pedals at the same time until the keyboard shows up on the screen of the host device.

To deactivate the function, both pedals must be pressed down again or select the appropriate keyboard minimizing option on your device. Please note that not all apps will respond to this feature and you may need to disconnect the DBM-1 to utilize your device’s virtual keyboard.
