PhoneBluetooth® Compatibility
You can use your Bluetooth-capable phone
hands-free in Model S provided your phone is
within operating range. Although Bluetooth
typically supports wireless communication
over distances of up to approximately 9 metres,
performance can vary based on the phone’s
software and age.
Before using your phone with Model S, you
must pair it. Pairing sets up Model S to work
with your Bluetooth-capable phone.
You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones.
Model S always automatically connects to the
last phone that was used (provided it is within
range). If you want to connect to a different
phone, see Connecting to a Paired Phone,
page 5.18.
NOTE: On many phones, Bluetooth turns off if
the phone’s battery is low.
In addition to phones, you can also pair
Bluetooth-enabled devices with Model S. For
example, you can pair an iPod Touch or an iPad
or Android tablet to stream music.
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
Pairing sets up Model S to work with your
Bluetooth-capable phone. Once a phone is
paired, Model S can connect to it whenever the
phone is within range.
To pair a phone, follow these steps while sitting
inside Model S:
1.Ensure both the touchscreen and the phone
are powered on.
2.On the touchscreen’s status bar,
touch (the Bluetooth icon).
3.On your phone, enable Bluetooth and set it
to discoverable.
4.On the Model S touchscreen, touch Start
Search. The touchscreen searches then
displays the list of all available Bluetooth
devices within operating distance.
5.On the Model S touchscreen, touch the
phone with which you want to pair. Within a
few seconds, the touchscreen displays a
randomly generated number, and your
phone should display the same number.6.Check that the number displayed on your
phone matches the number displayed on
the touchscreen. Then, on your phone,
confirm that you want to pair.
When paired, Model S connects to the phone
and the touchscreen displays the Bluetooth
symbol next to the phone’s name to show that
the connection is active.
Importing Contacts
Once paired, you can use the Bluetooth
settings screen to specify whether you want to
allow access to your phone’s contacts and
recent calls.
If access is turned on, you can see your list of
contacts on the Model S touchscreen. Touch
Phone > Contacts. You can then touch a
contact to dial its phone number or navigate to
its address.
NOTE: Before contacts can be imported, you
may need to either set your phone to allow
syncing, or respond to a popup on your phone
to confirm that it is OK to sync contacts. This
varies depending on the type of phone you are
using. For details, refer to the owner
documentation provided with your phone.
If access is turned on, imported information is
displayed when you touch the contacts tab on
the Phone app.
Unpairing a Bluetooth Phone
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it
again later, simply touch Disconnect on the
Bluetooth settings screen. If you do not want to
use your phone with Model S again, touch
Forget This Device. Once you forget a device,
you need to pair it again if you want to use it
with Model S (see Pairing a Bluetooth phone).
NOTE: Your phone automatically disconnects
whenever you leave Model S.
