Bluetooth capabilities
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected
Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device
before connecting to your speaker. All features may not be supported on
some paired Bluetooth devices.
Human bodies, brick and concrete walls, heavy furniture or bookcases will
all reduce the operational range of your Bluetooth devices to a greater or
lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood paneled walls and offi ce partitions may
have a less severe but noticeable effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard,
metal window frames and domestic wiring can also have an effect. You
should position your Bluetooth devices closer to each other if you observe
communication diffi culties.
WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies to
Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is noticed,
then try relocating the speaker or one of the other devices.
The Bluetooth capabilities of your speaker enable it to receive audio from
many Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers
and tablets. Normally only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your
speaker at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth profi les and functionality.
• Your speaker supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profi le)
which allows your speaker to control music playback from the connected
device.
• Your Bluetooth speaker supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution
Profi le) which is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music
from PCs, mobile phones etc.
• Your speaker supports the SBC and aptX® audio coding systems for
Bluetooth. In order to provide the highest possible audio quality, the
coding system used for streaming will be determined during device
pairing depending upon the range of codecs offered by the connected
device.
• Your speaker supports HFP (Hands-Free Profi le) to allow it to act as a
microphone and speaker for telephone calls.
