Bluetooth information
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected
Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device
before connecting to your clock radio. All features may not be supported
on some paired Bluetooth devices.
A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of
approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices,
for convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3
metres apart.The presence of other functioning Bluetooth devices during
connection may lead to operational difficulties.
Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication system and generally
Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other clearly within a regular
sized room or office. The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between
different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction of the building.
Bluetooth communication range may be substantially reduced if the signal
passes through a solid object. Human bodies, brick and concrete walls,
heavy furniture or bookcases will all reduce the operational range of your
Bluetooth devices to a greater or lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood
paneled walls and office partitions may have a less severe but noticeable
effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window frames and
domestic wiring can also have an effect. You should position your Bluetooth
devices closer to each other if you observe communication difficulties.
WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies
to Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is
noticed, then try relocating the clock radio or one of the other devices.
The Bluetooth capabilities of your clock radio enable it to receive audio
from many Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal
computers and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to
your clock radio at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth profiles and
functionality.
● Your clock radio supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile)
which is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from
PCs, mobile phones etc. SBC audio codec is supported.
● Your clock radio supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control
Profile) which allows your clock radio to control music playback from
the connected device.
Note:
Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your clock
radio when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily
mute their Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages,
emails or for other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour
is a function of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with
your clock radio.
