®TECHNOLOGY
OVERVIEW
Bluetooth
®wireless technology enables
wireless connection between your mobile
phone and the hands-free kit installed on
your car.
Communication is based on the transmis-
sion of radio shortwaves, that exchanges
data and voice at a speed of approx. 1
Mb/sec. within a range of about 10 metres.
The radio frequency used by Bluetooth
®
wireless technology is not subject to re-
strictions or limitations and is free of
charge.
The hands-free kit with voice recognition
enables to make and receive calls safely
and securely under whatever driving con-
dition without removing your hands from
the steering wheel as required by current
regulation. The system installed on your car offers
you the following functions:

ing calls;
❒hands-free conversation;
❒conversation diffusion through car
speakers;
❒pairing of up to three mobile phones
with activation of one mobile phone at
a time (for connection priority see next
pages);

lar according to mobile phone type);
❒starting/answering/refusing calls with
voice command (according to mobile
phone type);
❒volume adjustment through phone

HANDS-FREE KIT WITH VOICE RECOGNITION
AND Bluetooth
®TECHNOLOGY
IMPORTANT When the use of the hands-
free kit with Bluetooth®wireless tech-
nology is not desired, message “Accoppi-
are l’apparecchio” (pair kit) can be pre-
vented from being repeated by setting car
radio channel PHONE minimum volume
(see Sound System chapter). Turn the
sound system on to hear message “Ac-
coppiare l’apparecchio” (pair kit).
During the pairing procedure the
message asking for the passcode will
be displayed; enter “1234” as pass-
code and then confirm it.
Once this done, connection between your
phone and your hands-free kit will take
place automatically as soon as the two de-
vices are less than a few meters apart. A
“beep” will be heard, indicating that con-
nection is established. Here follows an ex-
ample of first pairing procedure for the
most common mobile phones.
IMPORTANT The system operates only
when the ignition key is turned to MAR.
Pairing procedure shall be performed on-
ly the first time you pair your phone and
your hands-free kit. Should instruction
“Accoppiare l’apparecchio” (pair kit) not
be heard at first pairing, reset the system
by pressing simultaneously buttons
£and
Ôfor 2 seconds at least.PAIRING WITH OTHER
ADDITIONAL PHONES
If you decide to pair another phone, you
just have to follow the ordinary pairing
procedure described in the previous para-
graph, in this way you can connect up to
3 mobile phones. To pair other phones
you shall reset the system (any phone
number stored will be cleared).
CLEARING THE MEMORY
Press the green
£and red Ôbuttons si-
multaneously for at least 2 seconds for
clearing the system memory.
IMPORTANT Clearing the memory will
disconnect all stored phones, will clear any
phone number stored in the system mem-
ory and will require to repeat the pairing
phase.PAIRING PRIORITY
If 2 mobile phones at least are paired, the
first phone paired (in chronological order)
will have highest priority. This means that
when getting into the car with system ac-
tive (key at MAR), this will be the first
phone to be searched and, if present, to
be connected. Should the priority phone
not be found, the system will then search
for the other phones.
