FAQ
Bluetooth®
•What is Bluetooth wireless technology? A wireless radio technology used in phones, computers, automobiles,
music players, and other devices that transmit data via a low power digital radio signal.
•What is the range of Bluetooth? The Bluetooth technology published range limit is 33 ft. (10 m). However,
always place the device with within 30 ft. (9 m) of the front of the spa to avoid passing the signal through
water. The effective range will vary based on environment conditions, the strength of the Bluetooth radio
transmitter inside your source device, placement of your source device relative to the spa, and other
transmitting devices in the vicinity.
•Where do I put my music device? The music system’s Bluetooth technology receiver is built into the amplifier
which is located in the equipment compartment. For best results, place your music source within 30 ft. (9 m)
and ensure it has a clear line of sight to the front of the equipment compartment. Note: When streaming
internet music services like Pandora®, ensure your device is in sufficient range of WiFi or 3G/4G data service.
•What music devices are compatible? Virtually all music devices with Bluetooth wireless technology are
compatible with the wireless music system, i.e. iPod, iPod touch, iPhone, iPad, MP3 players, smart phones,
tablets, etc.
•Can I control my device from the spa? Track and play/pause control via the spa control panel is not
guaranteed when connected to an audio device via Bluetooth technology. This functionality will be present on
some, but not all devices featuring Bluetooth wireless technology.
•How many devices can I connect via Bluetooth? Multiple devices may be paired to the wireless music system,
but only one music source can be “Connected” and play music at a time. Once a device is “Connected”, no
other devices can connect to your wireless music system until you disconnect or move the connected device
out of range.
•Will my phone ring through my spa? No. Your phone’s ringer and voice conversations will not broadcast
through the spa. Incoming calls, alerts and messages will temporarily pause your music playback.
In-Home Wireless Dock
•What devices can I place in the dock? The wireless music dock is a certified “Made for iPod”, “Made for
iPhone” device. It features the Apple® 30-pin connector for the docking of most iPod and iPhone devices.
•Can I play other devices through the dock? You can utilize the 3.5 mm audio line-in to play virtually any music
device (home stereo, cd player, radio, etc.) that features an audio output jack. You will not have track or
play/pause control from the spa’s control panel when using the line-in.
•Does the iPhone 5 work with the dock? The wireless dock is compatible with iPhone 5 and newer generation
Apple devices when using the Apple 30-to-8 pin Lightning adapter (not provided). Caution: there is no rear
support for a device that sits above the cradle. Verify that your adapter will support the weight of the device.
•Can I dock an iPad? You should never dock an iPad at any time. The dock’s recess does not accommodate the
width of an iPad and there is no rear support when using an adapter like the 30-to-8 Lightning. You can cause
damage to the dock, the iPad, and surrounding personal items. Utilize the 3.5 mm audio line-in in the rear of
the dock to play music from an iPad.
