Pairing a Mobile Phone
Before you can use your mobile phone with the hands-
free communication function on your car, you must
create a pairing relationship between the mobile phone
and the hands-free communication system.
During the pairing procedure, the hands-free communi-
cation system attempts to detect aBluetoothwireless
technology enabled mobile phone within range, and then
establishes the connection using a Personal Identification
Number (PIN). After a pairing relationship is established,
you can use the hands-free communication system to
make and receive phone calls, and do other operations
via your wirelessly-connected mobile phone.NOTE:Some mobile phones may require a setting
change or access permission change in order for
BLUE&ME™to automatically reconnect. See your mo-
bile phones manual for more information.
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; losing it will not impair the hands-free communi-
cation 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
ON.
You can create a pairing relationship using thePAIRING
option in theSETTINGSmenu.

copying the phonebook, say“Yes”;otherwise say“No”.
For certain mobile phones the phonebook is not copied
automatically, in this case you must send the contacts in

phone keypad.
Practical hints
To improve both the voice recognition of your phone-
book entries andBLUE&ME™pronunciation accuracy
when repeating the entries, please try to enter contact
entries and memorize them using the following criteria:
•Avoid abbreviations.
•Write foreign names according to the way in which
they are pronounced according to the rules of the
BLUE&ME™language set on your car. For example,enter “Tanja” as “Tanya”, to improve recognition ac-
curacy and also 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 enter “Nicolo Re-
bora” as “Nicolò Rébora” to obtain the correct pronun-
ciation.
•When adding or editing contact entries, bear in mind
that certain capital letters may be read as Roman
numerals (e.g., V may be read as fifth).
•When calling contacts by voice, do not include the
middle names or middle initials of your contacts.
