USING BLUETOOTH MODE
Your speaker 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 speaker, as long as you stay within range of the speaker, your device
should remain paired. If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect. If the source is changed
back to Bluetooth, any paired Bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.
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.
