Connecting a Bluetooth® phone
When you register a phone, auto connection will be activated. It is recom-
mended to have the system set to this mode and leave the Bluetooth® phone in a
place where a good connection can be established.
When the power switch is turned to ACCESSORY or ON mode, the system will
search for a nearby cellular phone you have registered.
Next, the system automatically connects with the most recent phone that was
connected. The connected result is displayed.
When automatic connection priority is set to on and there is more than one reg-
istered Bluetooth
® phone available, the system will automatically connect to the
Bluetooth® phone with the highest priority. ( →P. 3 4 5 )
When auto connection has failed or “Bluetooth
*1 Power” is turned off, you must
connect the Bluetooth® device manually.
Go to “Bluetooth
*1 Setup”: “MENU” button → “Setup” → “Bluetooth*1”
Select the device to connect.
Select “Connect XX
