BLUETOOTH® DEVICES
The speaker pairs with devices
that use the Bluetooth® Hands
Free Profile (HFP) and/or the
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile
(A2DP). HFP enables hands-free
communication and the A2DP
dictates how audio is streamed
from one device to another over
a Bluetooth® connection. When
you pair devices to the speaker,
the devices operate according
to their protocols. For example,
when you pair a smartphone to the
speaker, it handles calls and plays
music since it has both the HFP
and A2DP protocols. MP3 players
with Bluetooth® and A2DP only
play music and cell phones (not
smartphones) only handle calls.
