between the devices can reduce the operational
range.
Before you connect a Bluetooth®enabled device
to this soundbar, 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
