Q: Is it possible to disable the standby mode of the BaseStation One?

The BaseStation One does not allow you to disable the automatic standby mode - this is a built-in function of the product design to save energy. Here’s what you can do: Exit standby : Select an input source (Bluetooth, line, etc.) via the remote control or the front panel to wake the device. The red standby LED indicator will turn off. Recognize standby : A red LED light indicates that the device is in standby and consuming minimal energy. Complete shutdown : If you do not plan to use the device for several days (vacation), turn it off completely using the power button located at the back. The standby mode is intentionally maintained as it offers the best compromise between quick availability and energy savings. The manual specifies that the device can remain in standby safely for extended periods.

Question 2

Why does the BaseStation One disconnect from Bluetooth after 10 minutes of inactivity?

Accepted Answer

The BaseStation One automatically disconnects from Bluetooth after a period of inactivity. This behavior is a power management function built into the device to reduce power consumption when no sound is being transmitted.

Points to check

Inactivity duration: The automatic disconnection delay is generally set by default to around 10 minutes without audio activity. Check that your phone is not putting the Bluetooth transmission to sleep during this period.
Device standby mode: The LED indicator on the BaseStation One turns red when it enters standby mode. This means that Bluetooth has been disabled to save energy. This automatic shutdown cannot be disabled according to the device settings.
Reactivation: To restart the connection, start an audio playback or press the Bluetooth input button on the device. The LED will turn blue, indicating that Bluetooth is active.
Distance and interference: If disconnection occurs before the 10 minutes, ensure that your phone remains within a reasonable distance of the BaseStation One and that there are no significant obstacles or radio interference.

This behavior is normal and by design. If you want the device to remain active continuously, check if a power consumption option is available in your device settings.
