Operation Instructions
1. For use with devices running Android 7 or higher, Windows 10 or Mac OS, UA5 works as a plug-n-play device, without any need to install additional drivers. For use with Windows 8, 7 or XP, please download dedicated USB drivers from https://en.shanling.com.
Note: Due to differences in Android systems used by different manufacturers, some devices might demand additional settings and some devices might not support such connection.
2. For connecting to certain devices (for example gaming consoles), UA5 must be switched to UAC1.0 mode. To switch to UAC1.0, press and hold down the wheel while connecting UA5 to the device.
3. When powered by USB, power consumption of UA5 is fairly small. Alternatively, UA5 can be switched to battery power, to prevent battery drain from connected smartphone.
4. For use with iOS devices, a special USB-C to Lightning cable is needed.
