Bluetooth Hands-Freeí
qWhat is Bluetooth Hands-Free?
Bluetooth Hands-Free Outline
By connecting a Bluetooth equipped
device (Mobile phone) to the hands-free
unit equipped on the vehicle, making and
receiving calls are possible using the talk
button, pick-up button and hang-up button
located on the steering wheel, and saying
the voice commands.
WARNING
Perform phonebook registration related
operations while the vehicle is parked:
Performing phonebook registration
while driving the vehicle could be a
distraction to your driving and result
in an accident. In addition, a mistake
in performing the phonebook
operation could result in the loss of
important data.
Bluetooth equipped device (Mobile
phone)
A Bluetooth equipped device (Mobile
phone) communicates with the hands-free
unit equipped on the vehicle using radio

For example, if the device (Mobile phone)
is placed in a coat pocket, the phone calls
can be made through your mobile service
without taking out and handling the
device (Mobile phone).
CAUTION
The types of devices (Mobile phone)
which can be connected to the
hands-free unit are limited, so before
purchasing or changing your device
(Mobile phone) model, consult
Mazda Bluetooth Hands-Free
Customer Service or visit
www.MazdaUSA.com/bluetooth for a
complete list of compatible phones.
Devices (Mobile phone) which can be
connected to the hands-free system
need to be compliant with Bluetooth
specifications and the appropriate
profile, however, even among these
Bluetooth devices (Mobile phone) are
some which will not connect with
your Mazda or will have limited
function. Therefore, consult Mazda
Bluetooth Hands-Free Customer
Service for information regarding

l(With the navigation system)
If a Bluetooth device has already been
programmed to the vehicle as a Bluetooth
audio device, it does not need to be
programmed again when using the device
as a hands-free mobile phone. Conversely,
it does not need to be programmed again as
a Bluetooth audio device if it has already
been programmed as a hands-free mobile
phone.
lSince the communication range of a
Bluetooth equipped device is about 10
meters (32 ft), if a device is placed within a
10-meter (32 ft) radius of the vehicle, it may
be detected/programmed unintentionally
while another device is being programmed.
