may result in mistaken operation or a malfunction. In
particular, the temperature inside the vehicle can often rise
to a high level during the summer. Cool the vehicle, for
example by opening a window, before using the unit.
•Be careful if metal or water enters the unit, or the unit is
exposed to a strong impact, because it may result in a

Before Use
NOTE•Start the engine to prevent the battery from running out during transfer.
•This function cannot be used with cell phones that do not support PBAP
(Phone Book Access Profile) or OPP (Object Push Profile).
•Some cell phones are not able to transfer the phone book data.
•The method of transferring the phone book data from the cell phone varies
depending on the cell phone. For details, see the cell phone's instruction
manual.
•When transferring the phone book data, the following restrictions apply to
the data items.
-If 5 or more telephone numbers are registered for 1 person in the phone
book of the cell phone, the top 4 telephone numbers are registered in the
order “Mobile”, “Home”, “Work”, and “Other”. If the 4 entries have not been
filled, the number is registered in the highest available slot.
-Names are also transferred at the same time as the telephone numbers, but
symbols may not be transferred by some models, and sometimes not all the
characters may be transferred. Also, even if the data is transferred, it may not
be displayed correctly.
-Normally, a secret memory cannot be read. (Although it may be possible
depending on the specifications of the cell phone.)
-Group names that are registered in the cell phone are not transferred.•In models where batch transfer is possible, the following applies when
transferring the phone book data.
-The time taken for the transfer depends on the number of telephone
numbers and the size of the phone book data that are transferred.
Depending on the data, it may take 30 minutes or longer.
-You can change to another screen even when the phone book data transfer
screen is displayed. If you do this, the transfer of the phone book data
continues.
•Operations when phone book data transfer is in progress are dealt with as
follows.
-If there is an incoming call during phone book data transfer, one of the
operations is prioritized depending on the circumstances. When the
incoming call is prioritized, the incoming call is taken on the cell phone. In
this case, perform the transfer operation again after completing the call.
-If the ignition switch is turned to OFF (LOCK) during the phone book data
transfer, the transfer is canceled. If this happens, start the engine and
perform the transfer operation again.
•In the following cases, the phone book data that has already been transferred
is saved in the phone book of the unit.
-When the transfer ends partway because the memory capacity of the unit is
reached
-When the transfer is canceled due to some reason
•The phone book of the unit cannot be transferred to a cell phone.
