Bluetooth States & Display

There are four Bluetooth connection states, and each is indicated via the Sound Bar’s front panel Bluetooth LED.

1.Discoverable (ready to pair)

Sound bar is discoverable and ready to pair with a new device. The Bluetooth indicator slowly fades on and off approximately once every second. The Sound Bar is placed into “discoverable mode” by pressing and holding the Bluetooth button on the remote control for more than 5 seconds, or by pressing and holding the Input button on the Sound Bar for more than 5 seconds.

2.Connecting

Sound bar is attempting to connect to a paired device. The Bluetooth indicator flashes on and off approximately twice every second.

3.Connected

Sound bar is connected to a paired device. The Bluetooth indicator remains steadily on. A connection can only be initiated by an end user from a device. Once connected, a device stays connected forever until disconnected by the user, even if the device goes out of range. If a connected device comes back into range, the connection will be automatically re-established. However, if the input has been set to something other than Bluetooth, the Sound Bar will not switch to Bluetooth.

4.Disconnected

Sound bar is available to connect to any already-paired device. The Bluetooth indicator flashes on and off approximately once every three seconds.

Note:

It is a good idea to review your audio source device operating manual (smart phone, tablet, music player, etc.) for detailed information about it’s Bluetooth capabilities and setup.
