What devices can I hook up my Bluetooth X Rocker®?

Bluetooth enabled chairs are compatible with Bluetooth enabled mobile devices like phones, tablets and some computers.

Just follow our “wired” audio setup or optional HDMI converter setup for televisions/monitors with only HDMI connections.

The model number can be found in two places. A) It is the last five digits of the barcode, located on a tag, on the back of the chair. B) It is located on the cover of the owner’s manual, towards the bottom and preceded by the following. “Have this number ready when calling customer support.”
