What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth® is a communications technology designed to replace the wires and cables that connect portable and/or fixed electronic devices.
Bluetooth-enabled devices communicate wirelessly through short-range, personal area networks. These networks are established automatically when two Bluetooth-enabled devices have made a connection and come within range of one another.
Bluetooth doesn't require a direct line of sight to transfer information between communicating devices; a wall will not block the signal; only reduce the wireless range.

How does Bluetooth work?
Bluetooth technology is globally available, internationally accepted and free of charge. And with built-in encryption and PIN code authentication, it is also highly secure.
Getting two Bluetooth devices to communicate is a two-step procedure:
-
Pairing is a one-time process that creates a private link between two devices for secure communication.
-
Connecting allows the paired devices to actually transfer information.
Any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone can be paired and connected with a Streamer by scrolling through certain menus in your mobile phone. For guides to a number of popular models, click here, or for a generic walkthrough, click here
