Pairing Bluetooth®Devices
The operational range between this player and
a Bluetooth®device is approximately 10 metres
(without any object between the Bluetooth enabled
device and the unit). Any obstacle between the
devices can reduce the operational range.
Before you connect a Bluetooth®enabled device to
this unit, ensure you know the device’s capabilities.
Compatibility with all Bluetooth devices is not
guaranteed.
If the signal strength is weak, your Bluetooth®
receiver may disconnect, but it will re-enter pairing
mode automatically.
If a mobile phone on which you are playing music
receives a call, the music will be interrupted.
The phone call audio however is not played via
the speaker. Once you end the call, the devices
are connected to each other again and playback
resumes.
Your device will also be disconnected when your
device is moved beyond the operational range. If
you want to reconnect your device, place it within
the operational range.
If the connection is lost, follow the instructions (left)
to pair your device to the player again.
