GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Autoplay:With Autoplay turned ON, SYNCallows you to listen to
music which has already been randomly indexed during the indexing
process. With Autoplay turned off, the chosen music will not begin to
play until all of the music has been indexed by SYNC. Depending on the
size of the material, this may take a few minutes.
Bluetooth enabled cellular phone:Any cellular phone which has the
Bluetoothwireless technology which will enable the phone to connect
with SYNCand exchange information wirelessly.
Digital media player / USB Device:This is a generic term used to
signify any of the following media devices: iPod, Zune™, “Plays from
device” players, and most USB drives (thumb drives, flash drives, PEN
drives, etc.)
Discoverable mode:A mode which allows otherBluetoothenabled
devices to find yourBluetoothenabled device.
Discovery mode:A mode which allows yourBluetoothenabled device
to search for other ‘discoverable’Bluetoothenabled devices.
In-band ringing:This is a phone dependent feature. If yourBluetooth
enabled cellular phone supports this feature, SYNCcan play your ring
tone during incoming calls.
Indexing:A process in which SYNCbuilds a voice recognition grammar
for the media content of your digital media player. While indexing,
SYNCwill play already indexed media if Autoplay is on. However, voice
recognition is not available for the media until the indexing process is
complete.
Metadata:Descriptive tags embedded in your digital media which
provide SYNCwith information such as ARTIST, ALBUM, GENRE and
TRACK.
Pairing:To use yourBluetoothenabled cellular phone with SYNC, you
must go through a pairing (bonding) process. “Pairing” is a special
process used when two devices connect for the first time. The pairing
process is used to generate a link key that is used for authentication
purposes during subsequentBluetoothconnections between the two
devices.
PIN (Personal Identification number):This six digit number
(sometimes referred to as a passkey) will be shown in the radio display
during the pairing process with yourBluetoothenabled device. You do
not need to write down this number as it will only be used for that
specific pairing procedure.
