What does line of sight mean? I am suspicious that if the speaker is in the pool, the sending device cannot be in line of sight, and it won't work

We have not had a problem with ours. We have an above ground pool. I keep the sending device on our patio and the speaker is in the pool. We have connected an IPod, radio and an IPhone to the transmitter and have had no problem receiving a signal to the speaker. Our patio is about 50 feet away from our pool. Just make sure when you put the batteries in the speaker that the cover is screwed on tightly. I've tried another brand (sorry, I can't remember the brand name) but didn't like. Hope this helps. If you don't like it, I'm sure you can send it back. Just save everything.

Idk. Mine broke about 5 minutes after I took it out of the box! I returned it and bought the Bosch worksite radio/speaker.

I am unaware of anything that would prevent someone from interfacing with your stereo. I do not recall entering anytype of code...simply selected the device from a list of available bluetooth devices. Typically bluetooth devices have to be within a 30ft proximity to work so that range is somewhat preventative. If you were out on the lake/water that would usually mean the other device would be inside your boat...which typically would be under your control.

I prove the speaker in my vacation and the sound is clear almoust six meters of distance than the iphone... You can leve the iphone in a bag and ear music in the pool without problems

This happened to ours for a brief moment. I was attempting to turn it off while it was being directly hit with the water, speaker holes up, water went right in. It became fuzzy and I assumed there was water near the speaker. I left it out of the shower over night, and the next time I used it, it worked fine. I do feel like it is possible to get the speaker wet, which I would think, would ruin, or in the very least, distort sound quality.

Hi, this means that you may purchase an external mic that can be connected to the station, so you may "expand" the mic coverage. Since this is an wireless model, you may always move the device closer to the team that needs to talk. It can capture sound quite far away from the station.

The device doesnt work, thats what is wrong, mine reads way off from a pool store also. I threw mine in trash weeks ago. Because i bought it on Amazon they would not take it back.

I was able to operate it , while playing music in the pool, so my guess is yes :) But that is with an Android, because you know how iPhones only react to your finger touch :(

If what you mean is that the line level is too low for the bluetooth transmitter then yes, this would fix that. It's possible that the line level out from your receiver is much lower than what the bluetooth transmitter requires. This will not make your Bluetooth transmit transmit further as some other answers seemed interpret was your question.You might also see if the line level can be configured in your receiver. You might be able to switch it to a hotter signal.

It does not require line of sight, but you have to turn off all sound (Radio, TV, etc.) and be close to hear the sound. Just activate it and move from room to room. We have used it several times and have always found what we were looking for (we have several)

Line of sight seems to help this device. Some seem to have varied results. I'd say I can go 50' or so without breakup. As it gets out of range it continues to broadcast but with interruption and disruption. It's a great device.

Hello DorothyI do not secure the receiver to anything just hide it in a bush or in/under something. You can check the range of the unit to camera on the menu page (little triangle next to view option). I have even put the receiver in a building and it works. No line of sight needed. I have three units so far for remote site security.Hope this helps...

In my case and others that I've talked to, unless your receiver has a DIRECT and CLEAR line of sight to the mail box, it won't work. It means you've got to mount the receiver in a window that has the line of sight needed. From your description, it seems that you've got another unit in front of yours blocking the mailbox line of sight from your unit, so in that case it won't work.

I'm afraid I don't know as I haven't had to extend range of speaker beyond just a few feet from my source.

"From poolmate" At the moment the PoolMateHR does not have any alerts if you move outside your zones but it is something we could think about implementing. I will add it to the enhancement request list :)CheersLisa

In the pool when u hang the device nothing is exposed. I just left the wires exposed from the pool to the box. They are thick so nothing will happen to them. I'm not much on looks but you could run them through a pipe.

Yes. Make sure when you are adjusting the sender and receiver that you are not standing in the path of the signal, or you will create such interference and signal deterioration that you may think the device is not working. It will go through walls and ceilings, but not through people.

I have it connected to my receiver, and thence to my speakers. I can't say authoritatively, but it seems to me to send music to the receiver as well as an HDMI cable. But let me emphasize that if you walk in front of or obstruct the direct line of sight in any way, the sound will stutter and skip, whether it's music or TV/movie.
