TROUBLESHOOTING.PAIRING A MOBILE PHONE
Before you can use your mobile phone
with the hands-free phone function on
your car, you must create a pairing rela-
tionship between the mobile phone and
the hands-free phone system.
During the pairing procedure, the hands-
free phone system attempts to detect a
phone equipped with Bluetooth
®wire-
less technology within range, and then es-
tablishes the connection using a Personal
Identification Number (PIN). After a pair-
ing relationship is established, you can use
the hands-free phone system to make and
receive phone calls, and do other opera-
tions via your wirelessly-connected mo-
bile phone.
IMPORTANT The mobile phone pairing
PIN number is a special PIN generated
randomly at each new pairing and used
just for this operation. It is not your SIM
PIN and therefore it is not required to
store or to keep it in mind; loosing it will
not impair the hands-free phone system
operation.
The pairing procedure will only need to
be performed once for your mobile
phone. After this procedure Blue&Me™
will automatically connect to your phone
each time you get into the car and turn
the ignition key to MAR.

You can create a pairing relationship us-
ing the PAIRINGoption in the SET-
TINGSmenu.
?
To create a pairing relationship us-
ing manual interaction, proceed as
follows:
Press
ß/MAINto open the Main
Menu, then select SETTINGSby
pressing SRC/OKor
ß/MAIN.
Select PAIRINGand then press
SRC/OKor
ß/MAIN. The system
will start the pairing procedure.
The system shows the mobile
phone pairing PIN on the instru-
ment panel display and repeats it.
Please note that this is a PIN used
just for this operation, it is not your
SIM PIN.
For the next two steps, consult your
mobile phone owner’s manual about
Bluetooth
®pairing.On your mobile phone, query for
devices equipped with Bluetooth
®
wireless technology that are within
range (this option on your mobile
phone might be called Discover,
New Device, etc.). View the list of
Bluetooth
®wireless technology
enabled devices and select
“Blue&Me” or “My Car” (item
that identifies Blue&Me™on your
car).
When prompted by the mobile
phone, enter the PIN number
shown on the instrument panel dis-
play. If pairing is successful, the sys-
tem will say “Connecting” and
then the display will show the paired
mobile phone ID.
It is of vital importance to wait un-
til this confirmation message is dis-
played since pressing
ß/MAINor
&/ESCat this time may cancel the
pairing process. If pairing fails, an er-
ror message will be displayed and
the pairing procedure shall be re-
peated.At first pairing, the system will say
“Welcome” immediately after
connecting. This message will no
longer be heard at next pairing pro-
cedures.
The system asks if you would like to
copy your paired phone phone-
book. It is recommended to copy it.
To start copying the phonebook,
press SRC/OKor
ß/MAIN; oth-
erwise press
&/ESC. You can
download your phonebook at a lat-
er time using the menu option SET-
TINGS, USER DATA, PHONE-
BOOK.
For certain mobile phones the
phonebook is not copied automat-
ically, in this case you must send the
contacts in your mobile phone
phonebook to the hands-free phone
system using your mobile phone
keypad. If the hands-free phone sys-
tem asks you to do this, then per-
form this procedure following the
instructions specific to your mobile
phone and press

Practical hints
To improve both the voice recognition of
your phonebook entries and Blue&Me™
pronunciation accuracy when repeating
the entries, please try to enter contact en-
tries and memorize them using the fol-
lowing criteria:
❒Avoid abbreviations.
❒Write foreign names according to the
way in which they are pronounced ac-
cording to the rules of the
Blue&Me™language set on your car.
For example, enter “Tanja” as “Tanya”,
to improve recognition accuracy and al-
so to obtain the correct pronunciation
by the system.
❒When adding or editing contact entries,
insert the appropriate accent marks
when the name requires these marks
to be properly pronounced and recog-
nized by the system. For example en-
ter “Nicolo Rebora” as “Nicolò Rébo-
ra” to obtain the correct pronunciation.
❒When adding or editing contact entries,
bear in mind that certain isolated block
letter may be read as Roman numer-
als (e.g.: V may be read as fifth).
❒When calling contacts by voice, do not
include the middle names or middle ini-
tials of your contacts. Notes
❒You are only required to pair your mo-
bile phone a single time.
❒You can pair up to five mobile phones,
to be used one at a time.
❒On your paired mobile phone, the
Bluetooth®setting must be turned on
in order to connect your mobile phone
with Blue&Me™.
❒Before transferring your mobile phone
contacts to the hands-free system,
make sure that each contact first and
last name is unique and distinctly rec-
ognizable so that the voice recognition
system will function properly.
❒The system will download only valid
contact entries. A valid contact entry
must include both a name and at least
one phone number.
❒If you would like to re-pair your mobile
phone, delete the old pairing relation-
ship first. During this operation all user
data will be deleted. To delete the old
pairing relationship, use the menu option
USER DATA, DELETE USERS. On
your mobile phone, delete “Blue&Me”
or “My Car” from the list of Blue-
tooth
®devices following the specific in-
structions for your mobile phone (re-
fer to your mobile phone owner’s man-
ual).
❒If you download a phonebook with a
contacts list including more than 1000
contacts, the system may operate slow-
er than expected and voice recognition
of the names in your phonebook may
degrade.
❒If the pairing relationship is accidental-
ly deleted, the pairing procedure shall
be repeated.
