10. Uniti Series Bluetooth Streaming
In addition to playing streamed audio via a local network,
Uniti Series products can play audio over a Bluetooth
wireless connection from appropriately equipped playback
devices. Uniti Series products are configured by default to
require a secure Bluetooth connection so must be paired
with specific playback devices.
Note: Pairing between Bluetooth devices means that the
devices “know” and “remember” each other. Once paired,
Bluetooth devices can connect automatically when within
range.
Note: Bluetooth wireless connections have a relatively
limited range. A maximum of around 10 metres is typical
in domestic environments, however physical obstructions
in the transmission path may result in reduced range.
To pair a Uniti Series product with a Bluetooth audio device
select the Bluetooth input and press the handset
play/pause key ( ).
The Uniti Series product will enter “discovery mode” and
become available for pairing in the Bluetooth device
Bluetooth setup menu.
Note: The default Uniti Series product Bluetooth name
incorporates the last four characters of the unit’s MAC
address. The MAC address can be found listed in the
Setup menu under Network Settings.
Note: Up to sixteen Bluetooth devices can be paired
simultaneously. If a seventeenth device is paired the
oldest paired device will be deleted.
Once successfully paired with a Bluetooth device, the Uniti
Series product will be available to the audio apps on the
device. Uniti Series products switch automatically to their
Bluetooth input when in receipt of a Bluetooth stream.
The Bluetooth input setup menu offers further Bluetooth
configuration options and setup parameters, including
the option to configure an “open” Bluetooth connection
that does not require pairing. See section 4.3.9 for more
information.
Note: If multiple devices are paired, the Uniti Series
product will play from the first device from which it
receives a stream. If you wish to stream from a different
paired device, the first device must be disconnected.
Press the handset exit key to disconnect.
Bluetooth pairing and playback with an Android mobile
device is illustrated in the following diagrams. Bluetooth on
an iOS device is similar.
