Using BLUETOOTH

You can use a Bluetooth device to enjoy music with high quality stereo sound, all without wires!

What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth is a technology that enables Bluetooth-compliant devices to easily interconnect with each other using a short wireless connection.

???A Bluetooth device may cause noise or malfunction, depending on usage, when:

-A part of your body is in contact with the receiving/transmitting system of the Bluetooth device or the Air Track.

-It is subject to electrical variation from obstructions caused by a wall, corner or office partitioning.

-It is exposed to electrical interference from same frequency-band devices including medical equipment, microwave ovens and wireless LANs.

???Pair the Air Track with the Bluetooth device while maintaining a close distance.

???The further the distance is between Air Track and Bluetooth device, the worse the quality is. If the distance exceeds the Bluetooth operational range, the connection is lost.

???In poor reception-sensitivity areas, the Bluetooth connection may not work properly.

???The Air Track has an effective reception range of up to 10 meters in all directions if there are no obstacles. The connection will be automatically cut off if the distance is out of this range. Even within this range, the sound quality may be degraded by obstacles such as walls or doors.

???This wireless device may cause electric interference during its operation.
