PLAYBACK VIA BLUETOOTH

Bluetooth involves a technology for wireless radio connection of devices over a short distance. Devices with Bluetooth standard are transmitting between 2.402 and 2.480 GHz in the ISM band (Industrial, Scientific and Medical). Interference can be caused for example by WLAN-networks, DAB radios, cordless phones, or microwave ovens which work on the same frequency band.

This device offers you the possibility to use a Bluetooth enabled device. The functional radius is limited to approx.10 metres depending on the surroundings and the unit used.

If your playing device supports the A2DP profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) and has a music-player function, then you can also wirelessly transfer music to the device. The A2DP profile involves a multi-vendor Bluetooth profile. By streaming, stereo-audio signals are wirelessly transferred between the playing device (source) and the receiving device.

Due to the different device manufacturers, models, and software versions, a full functionality cannot be guaranteed.

Pair the Speaker using NFC (Near Field Communication)

With Near Field communication (NFC), you can easily pair and connect this speaker to your compatible devices.

If the compatible device supports NFC, activate its NFC feature, and touch the NFC area of the speaker (make sure that the speaker is in pairing mode) with the NFC area of your device, the speaker connects to the device automatically, the Blue color indicator on the speaker stops flashing once pairing has been carried out successfully,.
