- Speakers are capable of delivering sounds at loud volumes and high-pitched tones. Under certain circumstances, exposure to such sounds can result in permanent hearing loss damage. The volume level may vary based on conditions such as the radio you are using and volume settings. Avoid prolonged use of the speaker at excessive sound pressure levels. Please read the Safety Guidelines below before using the speaker.
- You Can Reduce the Risk of Hearing Damage by Following These Safety Guidelines During the Use of the Product:
- Turn the volume control to its lowest level, when connecting the speaker, and then
- Slowly adjust the volume control to a comfortable level.
- Keep the volume at the lowest level possible;
- If increased volume is necessary, adjust the volume control slowly; and

FAQs About Emerson ER-BT200 Portable Bluetooth Speaker
Why would anyone purchase portable speakers?
With their ability to provide excellent audio quality and portability, portable speakers have emerged as an essential piece of gear for music lovers on the go. Because of their small size and deliberate mobility design, these gadgets are ideal for traveling, outdoor sports, or just listening to music wherever you go.
When are Bluetooth speakers OK to use?
You can listen to music at home, in the yard, or even while on vacation. You may also spend some quality time with your friends and family thanks to them. Books can be enjoyed on BT speakers as well. They are available for download as audio files, which you may play while working or performing other household chores.
What is the lifespan of a Bluetooth speaker?
The battery life of a decent portable Bluetooth speaker should be at least 8 to 10 hours on a single charge. But some high-end speakers can last up to 20 hours or longer on a single charge. The speaker’s usage and volume level have an impact on the battery life as well.
Are plugged-in portable speakers required?
Yes, the majority of wireless speakers connect to a regular power strip or outlet using AC adapters. Certain systems employ rechargeable batteries to achieve “fully wireless” status; however, using this type of surround sound system necessitates routine tasks like charging and repositioning.
Are speakers dependent on electricity?
To supply power to the driver, all loudspeakers need a power source or amplifier. The terms “powered” and “passive” are used in this context.
Is it simple to operate Bluetooth speakers?
The simplest approach to achieve good sound in the house is to utilize a Bluetooth tabletop speaker, which can be connected to practically any mobile device and configured without the need for a network or specialized app.
Does Bluetooth function outside?
You can obtain up to a hundred meters of range outside in an open field. But it’s a unique circumstance. Concrete walls and other obstructions will weaken the radio signal indoors and significantly shorten its effective range.
Is Bluetooth compatible everywhere?
Bluetooth connects two devices—like your computer and phone—using radio waves. Bluetooth works without a phone signal or an internet connection. This implies that as long as the two devices you’re attempting to link are Bluetooth-compatible, they will function anywhere in the world.
Why does Bluetooth not function?
Restart both the Android phone and the phone you’re attempting to connect to first. This is the quickest method for eliminating any transient issue preventing your phone from connecting via Bluetooth. After the device has restarted, use the Control Centre or Settings to enable Bluetooth.
Are batteries required for Bluetooth speakers?
There are no wires with wireless speakers. This indicates that they are not connected to the electrical grid. If these speakers aren’t wired, they will require batteries because they require power from somewhere.
