USING BLUETOOTH MODE
Your Sound Stand supports music streaming from
smartphones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth
capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your
device’s documentation for more information. Once
you have paired your source device to the Sound Stand,
as long as you stay within range of the Sound Stand,
your device should remain paired, even if you change
the input on the Sound Stand.
Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep
in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format,
so streamed music may lose some integrity when
compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality is less than
optimal:
• If you hear any break-up or disconnect
while streaming music from your device,
move the source device closer to the Sound
Stand.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions
in the line-of-sight between the Sound
Stand and the source device.

Bluetooth range.
Your Sound Stand is not equipped with
a microphone, so it cannot operate as a

Reduce the volume levels on your device
