5. OPERATIONS FOR Bluetooth® AUDIO TRANSCEIVER
What is Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Bluetooth
® wireless technology is a radio technology that connects devices,
such as
Bluetooth
® Audio Transmitter, without wires or cords over a short
distance of approximately 7 metres (approx. 23 feet). Get more information at
www.bluetooth.com.
What is Pairing
You must “pair” the Transceiver unit with the phone/
Bluetooth
® Audio Transmitter
before you use it for the first time.
“Pairing” creates a unique wireless link between the
Bluetooth
® Audio
Transmitter and your
Bluetooth
® Audio Transceiver unit eliminating the need to
repeat the pairing process during future use.
Bluetooth
® devices will not work
if the devices have not been paired.
What is A2DP?
A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) is a
Bluetooth
® profile that allows
you to send high quality stereo music from one device to another without wires.
A2DP is able to provide crystal clear music without the hassle of plugging cables.
Bluetooth
® wireless technology with A2DP makes mobile phones, PDA’s and
computers capable of streaming music.
Music streaming is a technique for transferring audio data such that it can be
processed as a steady and continuous stream.
Users can stream music from their iPod or other external audio player to their
home system and listen to the tracks through the home system’s speakers.
