JBL OnBeat Xtreme Manual

Introduction

The JBL ® OnBeat Xtreme ™ speaker dock provides the ultimate in high-quality sound for your iPod, iPhone, iPad or other Bluetooth ® -enabled devices. Built-in Bluetooth technology lets you play and control your music wirelessly from anywhere within a 30-foot radius. You can wirelessly stream high-quality audio and even handle phone calls. The JBL OnBeat Xtreme unit’s rotating dock connector lets you orient your iPod, iPhone, or iPad device with its screen in portrait or landscape mode, and the included USB cable connects the JBL OnBeat Xtreme dock to your computer so you can charge and synchronize your iPod, iPhone, or iPad device with your iTunes library.

The JBL OnBeat Xtreme system is compatible with most Bluetooth-enabled devices, music players, cell phones and laptops. Enabled with Bluetooth A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile), AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) and HFP (Hands-Free Profile), the system can stream high-quality sound and serve as a speakerphone. The stereo Aux connection also lets you enjoy high-quality audio from a variety of devices such as MP3 and CD players, desktop computers (all platforms), laptops and satellite radio tuners.
