— connecting the hands-free phone or the audio device.
— downloading the phonebook memory from the connected cellular phone.
. Do not place a Bluetooth
Šaudio device in an
area surrounded by metal or far away from

Šmodule to prevent
tone quality degradation and wireless con-
nection disruption. .
While an audio device is connected through
a Bluetooth
Šwireless connection, the bat-
tery of the device may discharge quicker than
usual.

ers. It also may allow basic control of the device
for playing and skipping audio files using the
AVRCP Bluetooth
Šprofile. Not all BluetoothŠ
devices have the same level of controls for
AVRCP. Please consult the manual for your
Bluetooth
Šdevice for more details.
Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the BluetoothŠfunc-
tions share the same frequency band (2.4 GHz) .
Using the Bluetooth
Šand the wireless LAN
functions at the same time may slow down or
disconnect the communication and cause un-
desired noise. It is recommended that you turn
off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) when using the
Bluetooth
Šfunctions.

the ignition switch is placed in the ON position
with the selected cellular phone turned on and
carried in the vehicle.
You can register up to 5 different Bluetooth
Š
devices in the in-vehicle phone module. How-
ever, you can talk on only one cellular phone at a
time.
