HT4186-Q – How to Add the 2nd Pair of Headphones?

Step 1. Turn the TV OFF (Smart TV streaming service affect pairing)

Step 2. Turn on the HT4186-Q Set

2.1 Power ON the Audikast-3 transmitter.

2.2 Power ON the NB16-Q headphones.

2.3 Wait for them to re-connect. The LED indicator on the headphones and the transmitter will both turn Solid Blue.

Step 3. Pair the Transmitter with the 2nd Headphones

3.1 Get your 2nd pair of headphones into Bluetooth pairing mode.

! NOT only turn it on. You need to manually push it into pairing mode. (Most Bluetooth devices enter pairing mode automatically when pairing with the 1st device. But when pairing with the 2nd device, you need to manually push it into the pairing mode.)

For Avantree headphones, the LED flashes Red & Blue under the pairing mode. You should also hear a "Pairing" voice prompt from the headphones.

Non-Avantree headphones: Look it up by Brand or google it. For example, search “Sony XM4 Bluetooth pairing mode” and you will find "To pair a second or subsequent device, press and hold (power) button of the headset for 7 seconds or more to enter pairing mode” .

3.2 Get the transmitter into Bluetooth pairing mode.

Press & hold "" until you see the Bluetooth indicator flash Red & Blue.

3.3. Put them close to each other and wait for them to pair & connect.

Once connected, the Bluetooth icon close to "" on the transmitter will turn solid Blue.

Step 4. Reconnect during Future Use

4.1. Turn on the transmitter and NB16-Q headphones. Wait for them to connect first.

4.2. Then turn on the 2nd headphones. Wait for 5-10 seconds and they will re-connect. (If not, click the MFB button on the 2nd headphones and wait for 5-10 seconds. Or click "" on the transmitter and wait for 5-10 seconds. They should re-connect.)

Tips: If you prefer to use the 2nd pair of headphones ONLY the next time, please follow this procedure:

a) Turn on the HT4186-Q set, let them connect;

b) Turn on the 2nd pair of headphones and wait for it to connect;

c) Turn off the 1st NB16-Q headphones and use the 2nd headphones only;

Note: If you are keen on dual link, low latency for the audio transmission, the use of another NB16-Q as the 2nd pair of headphones is highly recommended, as the NB16-Q will achieve the codec of Aptx Low Latency (LL on the codec menu).

Another option we recommend is Avantree Audition 3 (AS19).
