shorten the distance.

The miniTek can be paired via Bluetooth with up

to two phones, two transmitters and a further

Bluetooth device (e.g. mp3 player or laptop) at the

same time.

Once a bluetooth device with control panel (e.g. iPhone,

iPod, BlackBerry, mp3 player, laptop) is paired with mini-

Tek, the connection to the miniTek will be established

automatically.
