NOTElA device can be programmed only when the
vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to
move, the pairing procedure will end.
Programming is dangerous while driving -
pair up your device before you start
driving. Park the car in a safe place before
programming.
lA total of seven devices can be programmed
to one vehicle. If you require an additional
device to be programmed to a vehicle with
seven devices already programmed, delete
one of the programmed devices before
programming the latest one.
lIf 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.
lDevice registration can also be done by
operating the audio unit. Refer to
“Bluetooth Audio Preparation”(page
6-127).
lDevice registration can also be done using
voice recognition (page 6-138).
lDepending on the device, the registration
status may be lost after a certain period of
time. If this occurs, repeat the entire
process from Step 1.
