Pairing TroubleshootingPairing Checks
23-364HandsFreeLink System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Many pairing issues are resolved by altering the client’s
phone settings.
Bluetooth feature settings must be turned on. Phone
manufacturers set the default to disable Bluetooth
features to conserve battery life. Cell phones may
provide procedures to Temporary Power On Bluetooth,
or Power On Bluetooth. Turn the Bluetooth feature on,
pair the phone to the vehicle, and confirm the phone is
linked. Do this by turning the phone off and back on.
Make or receive a call to confirm that the cell phone is
successfully paired.
When the phone’s Bluetooth feature is on, other
handsfree accessories such as earpieces or headsets
may automatically reconnect to the phone when you
turn on the accessory or move it within range of the cell
phone. This results in the phone not connecting to the
HFL system when the client’s enters the vehicle. You
must unlink the hands-free accessory from the phone
before the HFL system can reconnect.
Some phones have an Auto Answer setting that
functions with a headset. This setting must be turned
off or the HFL system cannot accept any incoming calls.
When this setting is on, it blocks the HFL system from
answering the call, and the call goes to voice mail. This
can cause the client to think that the cell phone is not
paired properly.
If the HFL system has six phones paired, it will not tell
you that it has reached its maximum, and will not allow
you to pair a new phone. To check how many phones
are paired, press and release the HFL TALK button.
After the beep, say ‘‘Phone setup list.’’ The HFL system
lists every assigned
phone name paired with it, then
finishes by saying ‘‘The entire list has been read.
Returning to the main menu.’’ Count the number of
phones listed. If there are six, you must delete one
phone before adding a new one. For more information about pairing, refer to the cell
phone owner’s manual, or go to handsfreelink.com.
1. Is the cell phone compatible with the HFL?
2. Is the Bluetooth feature turned on?
3. Is the client using the HFL buttons, not the navigation buttons, when pairing?
4. Is the cell phone battery fully charged, and is there good signal strength when pairing?
5. Do a soft reset on the cell phone.
6. If the client is trying to pair a Blackberry
or Palm
Treo device, make sure the client uses the shift
key when entering the pass code. If the shift key is
not pressed, the client may be entering letters. The
HFL does not recognize letters.TM

Phone Will Not Automatically Connect the
HFL
Incoming Calls
23-366HandsFreeLink System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
Many reasons for a dropped call are not related to the
HFL system. Here are some causes for dropped calls:
 If the quantity of dropped calls is about the same when the client uses the HFL system versus the
handset, the issue is likely due to the cellular phone
or carrier.
 If the phone is equipped with a retractable antenna, it needs to be extended to maximize signal strength.
 If a client also notices that the calls tend to drop in the same areas, the HFL system may be operating
normally, but something about the area diminishes
cellular coverage to a point where the call drops.
 Hills or m ountains can block or interfere with cellular
signals.
 High-rise buildings, bridges, or other large structures may block or interfere with cellular signals.
 Placing the cell phone in a purse, in a metal briefcase, under the seat, in the glove box, or in the trunk can all
affect signal reception.
 There are coverage gaps in the cellular service. When driving, a call is typically passed from one tower to
another. If the client drives through an area where
there is a coverage gap between towers, the call
drops.
 Electrical storms, heavy rain, or overcast c onditions
interfere with signal strength.
 The cell phone battery’s state of change can affect signal reception. A low battery may reduce the
phone’s ability to boost the antenna’s power and
function properly, especially in low signal strength
areas. Some phone manufacturers trade off signal
transmission and reception strength for battery life.
As the battery weakens, the signal strength may also
weaken. Some cell phones may operate more
effectively than others in low signal strength areas,
especially with a partially charged battery, and
depending on whether or not the retractable antenna
is fully extended (if applicable). On these models,
make sure the antenna is always extended to
maximize signal strength and extend battery life. If a client complains that their cell phone is not
automatically connecting to the HFL system when they
enter the vehicle, do this:
1. Make sure the Bluetooth feature is turned on in the cell phone.
2. Make sure the cell phone is properly painted to the HFL system.
3. Do a soft reset to the cell phone.
4. Check if the phone has an Authorized Connection or Trusted option.
5. Check the battery and signal strength on the cell phone. Pairing a phone requires optimal signal
strength and a nearly full battery.
If a client complains that they cannot receive incoming
calls through the HFL system, see if the call is routing to
the cell phone instead of the HFL system. An easy way
to know if the call is routed to the cell phone is when the
client says, ‘‘I can’t hear the caller, but they can hear me.’’ 1. Make sure the Bluetooth feature is turned on in the cell phone.
2. Make sure the cell phone is paired to the HFL system and linked.
3. Make sure the answer settings in the cell phone are set to multi-key or any-key answer. If the phone is
set to flip open to answer, recommend changing
the setting to Any Key or leaving the phone flipped
open when using the HFL system.
4. Make sure the Auto Answer feature is turned off in the cell phone.
5. Do a soft reset to the phone.
6. Make sure the battery is fully charged and there is adequate signal strength.
7. Ask the client if they have set specific ring tones or ringer IDs to specific contacts. If they have,
recommend using one standard ring tone for all
calls.
8. Make sure the client is pressing the HFL TALK button and not the HFL BACK button or the
navigation buttons.

23-368HandsFreeLink System
General Troubleshooting Information (cont’d)
NOTE: This procedure should be used only if HDS is
unavailable.
To run the self-diagnostic function, do the following:
1. Turn the ignition switch to ON (II).
2. Press and hold the HFL BACK button for more than 5 seconds.
3. When the HandsFreeLink system enters the self- diagnostic function, the following will occur.
 If the system has not completed testing for DTCs, the HandsFreeLink system says ‘‘The hands free
system test is in progress’’.
 If there is no DTC, the HandsFreeLink system says ‘‘The hands free system is OK’’.
 If there is any DTC, the HandsFreeLink system says ‘‘The hands free system needs to be
serviced’’.
NOTE:  The self-diagnostic function can only be initiated while the HFL is in its idle state.
 The self-diagnostic function is considered start once the 5 seconds press and hold is detected, and ends
when the units returns to idle state. This cell phone setting forces incoming calls to
automatically be answered by the handset. Disable this
feature on the phone when using the HFL system, as it
may interfere with the HFL system answering incoming
calls. Set the phone setting to:
SendKey
AnyKey
 Multi Key answer
These cell phone settings allow you to select how you
would like to answer an incoming call on the handset.
The answer option in the phone can affect inbound calls
on the HFL system.
This cell phone setting allows the phone to connect
automatically with the HFL system without prompting
the client for permission to connect. In some instances,
it can affect the ability of the phone to properly route
sound to the HFL system.
This cell phone function enables or disables the
Bluetooth application. When using a hands-free device
such as HFL, the Bluetooth application needs to be
enabled.
You need to have the cell phone in Discovery Mode to
allow other devices with Bluetooth capabilities (such as
the HFL system) to find the phone during the pairing
process.
A client gets these ringtones from an outside source,
such as the internet or a mobile phone store.
