USING BLUETOOTH MODE
Your sound bar supports music streaming from smart phones, tablets, and computers with Bluetooth
capability. Device compatibility will vary, see your device’s documentation for more information. Once you
have paired your source device to the sound bar, as long as you stay within range of the sound bar, your
device should remain paired. If the input is changed, the Bluetooth device will disconnect. If the source is
changed back to Bluetooth, any paired Bluetooth device will reconnect automatically.
Your sound bar is not equipped with a microphone,
so it cannot operate as a hands-free device for a
smart phone.
Maximizing Signal
A Bluetooth signal has a range of up to 30 feet. Keep in mind that Bluetooth is a compressed audio format, so
streamed music may lose some integrity when compared to a wired connection.
Try the following if your sound quality is less than optimal:
• If you hear any break-up or disconnect while streaming music from your device, move the source device
closer to the sound bar.
• Be sure that there are no solid obstructions in the line-of-sight between the sound bar and the source
device.
• Other wireless devices can aect Bluetooth range, including wireless security cameras, wireless video
baby monitors, cordless phones, and microwave ovens. Turning o or moving these devices may
improve Bluetooth range.
Reduce the volume levels on your device and on the
sound bar before pressing Play. High volume levels
can damage your hearing.

to the procedures described below, unless an exception applies. Submitting a claim to binding arbitration means that you do not have the right to have your claim
heard by a judge or jury. Instead your claim will be heard by a neutral arbitrator.
Binding Arbitration Agreement; Class Action Waiver (U.S. Residents Only)
UNLESS YOU HAVE BROUGHT AN ELIGIBLE CLAIM IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT OR HAVE OPTED OUT AS DESCRIBED BELOW, ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM RELATING
IN ANY WAY TO YOUR VIZIO PRODUCT, INCLUDING ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS WARRANTY, A BREACH OF THIS
WARRANTY, OR THE VIZIO PRODUCT’S SALE, CONDITION OR PERFORMANCE, WILL BE SETTLED BY BINDING ARBITRATION ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN
ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION AND CONDUCTED BY A SINGLE ARBITRATOR APPOINTED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION, IN ACCORDANCE WITH
ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND ITS SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER-RELATED DISPUTES. You may learn more about the American
Arbitration Association and its rules for arbitration by visiting www.adr.org or by calling 800-778-7879. Since this warranty concerns a transaction in interstate or
international commerce, the Federal Arbitration Act will apply.
The ling fees to begin and carry out arbitration will be shared between you and VIZIO, but in no event will your fees ever exceed the amount allowable by the
American Arbitration Association, at which point VIZIO will cover all additional administrative fees and expenses. VIZIO waives its right to recover attorneys’ fees in
connection with any arbitration under this warranty. If you are the prevailing party in an arbitration to which the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related
Disputes applies, then you are entitled to recover attorneys’ fees as the arbitrator may determine.
The dispute will be governed by the laws of the state or territory in which you resided at the time of your purchase (if in the United States). The place of arbitration
will be Irvine, California, or your county of residence (if in the United States). The arbitrator will have no authority to award punitive or other damages not measured
by the prevailing party’s actual damages, except as may be required by statute. The arbitrator will not award consequential damages, and any award will be limited
to monetary damages and will include no equitable relief, injunction, or direction to any party other than the direction to pay a monetary amount. Judgment on the
award rendered by the arbitrator will be binding and nal, except for any right of appeal provided by the Federal Arbitration Act, and may be entered in any court
having jurisdiction. Except as may be required by law, neither you nor VIZIO nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration under
this warranty without the prior written consent of you and VIZIO.
ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER IN ARBITRATION, IN COURT, OR OTHERWISE, WILL BE CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. VIZIO AND YOU AGREE THAT NO
PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED AS A CLASS ACTION, A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER
PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY.
NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE JOINED, CONSOLIDATED, OR COMBINED WITH ANOTHER ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WITHOUT THE PRIOR
