Troubleshooting Bluetooth Connections with your Bluetooth Speaker

known speaker at power up

technical support so they can assist you.
Move Air LP closer to your Bluetooth speaker
1.
1. Turn off both the speaker and turntable.
2. Turn them both back on then move it close to each other preferably not over 30 feet
(9.1m).
3. Attempt to pair them again while they're close to each other.
Make sure you have no other Bluetooth speakers powered on and in range of Air LP
Air LP attempts to pair with the strongest and closest Bluetooth device available. To ensure that
Air LP pairs with your desired Bluetooth speaker, make sure all other nearby Bluetooth devices
are turned off.
Check that you are using a Bluetooth speaker and not another type of wireless speaker
There are different methods of streaming audio wirelessly. It is important to make sure that the
speaker you are attempting to pair with Air LP is Bluetooth compatible. Some systems such as
Apple TV and SONOS® use non-Bluetooth technology to stream audio. These products will not
pair with Air LP.
Give Air LP enough time to pair to your speaker
Distance, wireless interference, and signal strength can all affect how long it takes Air LP to pair
with your speaker. Occasionally, it may take a few minutes for the pairing process to complete,
