Before Using the Bluetooth®

Handsfree
What is Bluetooth®?
Bluetooth®refers to a short-dis-
tance wireless networking technolo-
gy which uses a 2.4GHz ~ 2.48GHz
frequency to connect various
devices within a certain distance.
Supported within PCs, external
devices, Bluetooth
®phones, PDAs,
various electronic devices, and auto-
motive environments, Bluetooth
®
allows data to be transmitted at high
speeds without having to use a con-
nector cable.
Bluetooth
®Handsfree refers to a
device which allows the user to
conveniently make phone calls with
Bluetooth
®mobile phones through
the audio system.
Bluetooth
®Handsfree may not be
supported in some mobile phones. To
learn more about mobile device com-
patibility, visit http://www

that enables drivers to practice
safe driving. Connecting the head
unit with a Bluetooth
®phone allows
the user to conveniently make and
receive calls and use contacts.
Before using Bluetooth
®, carefully
read the contents of this user’s
manual.
Excessive use or operations while
driving may lead to negligent driving
practices and result in accidents.
Refrain from excessive operations
while driving.
Viewing the screen for prolonged
periods of time is dangerous and
may lead to accidents. When driv-
ing, view the screen only for short
periods of time.
When connecting a Bluetooth®
Phone
Before connecting the head unit
with the mobile phone, check to
see that the mobile phone sup-
por ts Bluetooth
®features.
Even if the phone supports Bluetooth
®,
the phone will not be found during
device searches if the phone has
been set to hidden state or the
Bluetooth
®power is turned off.
Disable the hidden state or turn on
the Bluetooth
®power prior to
searching/connecting with the Head
unit.
If you do not want an automatic con-
nection with your Bluetooth
®device,
turn off the Bluetooth®feature with-
in your mobile phone.
The Handsfree call volume and
quality may differ depending on the
mobile phone.
