Audio Distribution Prole) and has a music-player function, then you can also
wirelessly transfer music to the device. The A2DP prole involves a multi-vendor
Bluetooth prole. By streaming, stereo-audio signals are wirelessly transferred
between the playing device (source) and the receiving device. Due to the dierent
device manufacturers, models, and software versions, a full functionality cannot
be guaranteed.
Logging on devices (Pairing)
Before using your speaker with a compatible device, such as a mobile phone, for
the rst time, you must pair and connect it to the device.
1. Ensure, that the Bluetooth function is activated in your player (e.g. mob
