What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a wireless standard that provides a way to
wirelessly connect devices like cell phones, laptops,
headsets and others.
Over a Bluetooth connection the devices can exchange
information such as data, sound or even control com-
mands. The range of the Bluetooth connection in the Tek
Connect remote control is about 10 m (32 ft). Walls or
objects in between the devices can shorten this distance.
The Bluetooth symbol denotes if a device is
Bluetooth compatible.
The Tek Connect remote control can be connected via
Bluetooth to your cell phone or to the Tek Transmitter.
