Bluetooth Mode - Roberts eco 4 Bt User Manual

Bluetooth mode

The Bluetooth mode on your radio allows you to play audio, play sound
from video fi les and stream music from Bluetooth capable devices such as
your mobile phone, computer, tablet etc. through your radio's loudspeaker.
● When a Bluetooth enabled device such as your eco4 Bt radio is in a
'discoverable' state other Bluetooth devices can detect, pair with or
connect to it.
● 'Bluetooth pairing' occurs when two Bluetooth enabled devices agree
to establish a connection and communicate with each other.
● Your radio will fl ash the Bluetooth indicator on the display when
it is discoverable or when it is trying to connect to a previously
paired Bluetooth device. When a device is paired with and connects
to your radio, the Bluetooth indicator light on the display will
remain lit.
Bluetooth connectivity performance may vary depending on the connected
Bluetooth devices. Please refer to the Bluetooth capabilities of your device
before connecting to your radio. All features may not be supported on
some paired Bluetooth devices.
A Bluetooth connection can provide a link for audio up to a distance of
approximately ten metres. When pairing two Bluetooth enabled devices,
for convenience, we recommend they should be no more than 2 to 3
metres apart. The presence of other functioning Bluetooth devices during
connection may lead to operational diffi culties.
Bluetooth is a short-range radio communication system and generally
Bluetooth devices can communicate with each other clearly within a regular
sized room or offi ce. The reliability of a Bluetooth connection between
different rooms will greatly depend upon the construction of the building.

Bluetooth communication range may be substantially reduced if the signal
passes through a solid object. Human bodies, brick and concrete walls,
heavy furniture or bookcases will all reduce the operational range of your
Bluetooth devices to a greater or lesser extent. Glass, dry-wall or wood
paneled walls and offi ce partitions may have a less severe but noticeable
effect. Metal pipes, foil-lined plasterboard, metal window frames and
domestic wiring can also have an effect. You should position your Bluetooth
devices closer to each other if you observe communication diffi culties.
WiFi networks and cordless phones generally use similar radio frequencies
to Bluetooth and may interfere with one another. If any interference is
noticed, then try relocating the radio or one of the other devices.
The Bluetooth capabilities of your radio allow it to receive audio from many
Bluetooth capable devices including mobile phones, personal computers
and tablets. Only one Bluetooth device can be connected to your radio
at a time. It supports the following Bluetooth profi les and functionality.
● Your radio supports A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profi le) which
is a stereo audio connection that streams stereo music from PCs,
mobile phones etc. SBC and AAC audio codecs are supported.
● Your radio supports AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profi le)
which allows your radio to control music playback from the connected
device.
Note: Some mobile phones may temporarily disconnect from your radio
when you make or receive calls. Some devices may temporarily mute their
Bluetooth audio streaming when they receive text messages, emails or for
other reasons unrelated to audio streaming. Such behaviour is a function
of the connected device and does not indicate a fault with your radio.
