tion may be heard.

●

The transmission distance of the wireless signal between

the device and the main unit is about 10 m (30 feet), but

may vary depending on your operating environment. If a

steel concrete or metallic wall is between the device and

the main unit, the system may not operate at all, because

the wireless signal cannot penetrate metal.

If this unit or the source device is turned off before Blue-

●

pleted and the pairing information will not be memorised.

Repeat step 1 onwards to start pairing again.

●

will be deleted and replaced with the new one.

●

the pairing information for the device is also deleted. To

listen to the sound from the device again, it needs to be

re-paired. Perform steps 1 - 5 to pair the device again.
