The A2DP parole involves a multi- vendor Bluetooth parole. By streaming, stereo-audio signals are wirelessly transferred between the playing device (source) and the receiving device. Due to the deferent device manufacturers, models, and software versions, a full functionality cannot be guaranteed.

Logging on devices (Pairing)

Before using your speaker with a compatible device, such as a mobile phone, for the first time, you must pair and connect it to the device.
