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.
