Bluetooth range and communication
Bluetooth wireless technology has a typical range
of 10 meters (32 feet) and operates in the 2.4GHz band.
This range can vary widely depending on the Bluetooth
transmitter device you use (consult your Bluetooth audio
player's documentation) and also on the obstacles (walls, people,
metal, water, etc.) or electromagnetic environment.
Conditions like the ones listed below may mute the audio, deteriorate
the playback speed, introduce noise, cause an error in the communication
or even break the connection.
1. Proximity to other 2.4GHz wireless devices including: Wireless routers,
Bluetooth receivers, Devices using Wi-Fi (or DLNA, Airplay, etc.), Cordless
phones, Microwave ovens. Locating Melody and/or your Bluetooth device
three feet or more from other operating wireless devices may help reduce
interference problems.
2. Location of the unit. Performance will be affected if the unit exceeds
the specified distance or if transmitter and receiver units are blocked by
objects, especially if they are made out of metal.
compatibility
Melody is fully compatible with audio products adhering to the Bluetooth
V3.0 standard, and using SBC, aptX or AAC codecs. (The aptX and AAC
codecs will only be active if also supported by the transmitting device.)
While Melody conforms to the AVRCP V1.4 specification, please note that
response to navigation commands can vary from product to product and
may be or may be not implemented in your Bluetooth device or computer
program you may be running. Check with your Bluetooth device's
manufacturer for further information.
Connection with all Bluetooth devices cannot be guaranteed. A device
featuring Bluetooth function is required to conform to the Bluetooth
standard specified by Bluetooth SIG, and be authenticated. Even if the
connected device conforms to the above mentioned Bluetooth standard,
some devices may not be connected or work correctly, depending on the
features or specifications of the device.
Weather resistance
Soundcast weather resistant products can be taken out and be operated
in outdoor areas safely and they will resist diverse weather conditions
temporarily but they shouldn't be left out permanently. Like all electronic
components, lengthy exposure to the elements can increase the odds that
condensation will develop internally in the cabinet and reduce contact
and component life span. Occasional and short duration exposure to
temperature extremes and external moisture due to rain or snow
is tolerable in a sense that upon discovery, the unit is returned
indoors, toweled off and dried out for continued, safe operation.
Fail to comply with this precaution can affect the operability
and functionality of the product in which case Soundcast
won't assume any responsibility.
