To connect a telephone with the device, the two devices must be paired via
Bluetooth ®
.
The pairing process is dependent on whether another telephone is connected
or not connected to the device at the time of pairing.
A connection with a telephone that is already paired does not require pairing.
It is enough to find the telephone that has been paired in the list of paired
phones and make the connection.
Note
■ The range of the connection to the hands-free system is limited to the pas-
senger compartment.■
The maximum number of paired phones is 20. Pairing a new telephone after
reaching the maximum number causes the telephone that has not been paired
for the longest time to be automatically replaced.
conditions for pairing
The telephone can be paired with the device under the following conditions. The ignition is switched on.
The Bluetooth ®
function of the device » page 11 and the telephone is
switched on.
The visibility of the device » page 11 and the telephone is switched on.
The telephone is within range of the Bluetooth ®
signal of the device.
The telephone is compatible with the device.
The pairing can be initiated from the device or from the telephone. 
