Is this device always-on? As in, will the Bluetooth transmitter go to sleep if it doesn't detect audio for awhile?

Yes, it's always on. Light stays blue except when the Bluetooth device goes out of range. Then light turns red.

Mine has never gone to sleep that I am aware of. In fact, it connects to my phone as soon as I walk in the house.

Yes, we have noticed that if it is not detected any device then the device turn the led light red, In the opposite way the led will show a blue light when a device is connected. We are very satisfied with this purchase.
796842
Yes, and it will remain connected to the source as long as the signal is in range.

I have had mine for over a year now. I use it daily and every now and again I have this problem.Usually shutting off the speaker, restarting it, then reestablishing the bluetooth connection works. Sometimes shutting off and restarting the music source works. A couple of times the speaker appeared to be paired to my device when it was actually paired with another device in the house and not the one I thought. Turning off or disconnecting the unwanted device and then reconnecting the bluetooth to the device you are using works. Lastly, there have been times when I couldn't resolve the issue in the moment, so I just turned it off and waited awhile and whatever was wrong seems to resolve itself.

The Bluetooth transmitter could not work even if it connects with the charger in the condition that the battery is not put into the battery box. The Bluetooth transmitter has the function of automatic power off. After the battery gets a full charge, it will stop charging automatically. If it powers off, it will also charge automatically. You can use 24/7 with the battery charging.

I don't think it sleeps (ie: the display turning off), though I haven't really paid much attention to it since it is used as a kitchen stereo. Pretty sure it does always stay lit up. It isn't very bright, but if you are using it near your bed and are sensitive to any form of light while sleeping it could be an issue.

It is normal for the power light to be on. The sound stops but the power stays on until the volume button is turned off. But who wants to do that when you're sleeping?!

You would have to remember to unplug it each time you turned the car off. It would stay on. I do believe the Bluetooth goes dormant after 5 mins or so.

NO it plays right on through...I usually keep it plugged in when in the kitchen or home and then when leaving unplug for on the road use.... Bluetooth connectivity does not drop either way as well.

Have you turned it off and on and then synced it with your bluetooth device again?
2135206
Yes. Mine is in standby mode until the TV is turned on I switch to Bluetooth mode to play music from my ipod. The power light is not on all the time, only lights momentarily when something happens such turning on the TV or switching modes.

It is always on if there is power, sometimes it doesn't auto connect if it is on before in range but there are multiple phones that use mine so that May effect it.

I own this device and it really only works as a Bluetooth receiver, not a transmitter. I use it a lot to play my music from my iPhone.

Does it turn off while emitting audio? Are you sure you did not program the power off button to the wrong button on your remote?

Yes, it stays on all the time, although in a low-power mode after being inactive for a while. It's always ready to respond to Airplay from a device like an iPhone. Mine is plugged in and ready all the time except when I unplug the power to carry it down to the basement or next to my exercise bike.

My unit turns off after a period of idle (no streaming). It never turns off if I'm actively streaming audio.

Once you plug in the device into the port it powers on. I do not believe there is a sleep mode.

I also have a problem with Speakers shutting off often, and I have them plugged in, not on batteries. When they work, it is great. Wondering if it would help if I got a larger transmitter.
