Multipoint Connections

If you have stored pairing information for multiple devices and more
than one of those devices have Bluetooth enabled at the same time,
your BE Live5 will enable multipoint connection.

Multipoint connection allows your BE Live5 to hold connections with two
devices at the same time while playing audio signal from only one of the
two devices.
Multipoint connection works in the following ways:

• Your BE Live5 automatically connects with the most recently paired
device (“Primary device”).

• You must manually connect the second device (“Secondary device”) to
your BE Live5 via its operating system.

12

• The BE Live5 will prioritize the audio from Primary device.
