Before Using the Bluetooth®
Wireless Technology
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, Bl uetooth
®
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

patibility, visit http://www

unit with a Bluetooth
®phone allows
the user to conveniently make and
receive calls and use contacts.
Before using Bl uetooth
®, 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.

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.

see that the mobile phone sup-
por ts Bluetooth
®features.

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-
