Bluetooth
® audio. For example, device A can be connected as a Bluetooth® Hands-Free
device and device B can be connected as a Bluetooth
® audio device. However, the
following may occur when they are used at the same time.
The Bluetooth® connection of the device is disconnected.
Noise occurs in the Hands-Free audio.

Voice recognition related problems
Symptom CauseSolution method
Poor voice recognition.
Excessive, slow speech.Excessive, forceful speech
(shouting).
Speaking before the beep sound
has ended.
Loud noise (speaking or noise
from outside/inside vehicle).
Airflow from A/C is blowing
against the microphone.
Speaking in off-standard expres-
sions (dialect). Regarding the causes indicated on
the left, be careful with how you
speak. In addition, when numbers
are spoken in a sequence, recogni-
tion ability will improve if no stop is
placed between the numbers.
False recognition of numbers.
Poor voice recognition.
There is a malfunc
tion in the micro-
phone. A poor connection or malfunction
with the microphone may have oc-
curred. Consult an Authorized Maz-
da Dealer.
Phone-related voice recognition is
disabled. There is a problem with the connec-
tion between the Bluetooth
® unit
and the device. If there is any malfunction after
checking the pairing
situation, check
for device pairing or connection
problems.
Names in the phonebook are not
easily recognized. The Bluetooth
® system is under a
condition in which recognition is
difficult. By carrying out the following meas-
ures, the rate of recognition will im-
prove.Clear memory from the phone-
book which is not used very of-
ten.
Avoid shortened names, use full
names. (Recognition improves
the longer the name is. By not us-
ing names such as “Mom”,
“Dad”, recognition will improve.)
When operating the audio, a song
name is not recognized. Song names cannot be recognized
by voice.

ton.
Regarding problems with calls
Symptom
CauseSolution method
When starting a call, vehicle noise
from the other party can be heard. For about 3 seconds after starting a
call, the Bluetooth
® unit's Noise
Suppression function requires time
to adapt to the call environment. This does not indicate a problem
with the device.
The other party cannot be heard or
the speaker's voice is quiet. The volume is set at zero
or low. Increase the volume.
The phone does not receive calls. The “Incoming Call Notifications”
setting in the Communication Set-
tings is off.Turn the “Incoming Call Notifica-
tions” setting on.
Other problems
Symptom
CauseSolution method
The indication fo r the remaining
battery is different between the ve-
hicle and the device. The indication method is different
between the vehicle and the device.
―
When a call is made from the vehi-
cle, the telephone number is updated
in the incoming/outgoing call record
but the name does not appear. The number has not been registered
into the phonebook.If the number has been registered
into the phonebook, the incoming/
outgoing call record is updated by
the name in the phonebook when
the engine is restarted.
The cell phone does not synchronize
with the vehicle regarding the in-
coming/outgoing call record. Some types of cell phones do not
synchronize automatically.
Operate the cell p
hone for synchro-
nization.
It takes a long time to complete the
function for changing the language. A maximum of 60 seconds is re-
quired.

Things You Need to Know
WA R N I N G
Always adjust the audio while the vehicle is
stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control switches
while driving the vehicle. Adjusting the
audio while driving the vehicle is
dangerous as it could distract your
attention from the vehicle operation which
could lead to a serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn to
use the switches without looking down at
them so that you can keep your maximum
attention on the road while driving the
vehicle.
CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving, adjust the
audio volume to a level that allows you to
hear sounds outside of the vehicle
including car horns and particularly
emergency vehicle sirens.
NOTE
To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time when
the engine is not running.
If a cellular phone or CB radio is used
in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system,
however, this does no t indicate that the
system has been damaged.
Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.
▼ Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, 2 stations may sometimes
be picked up on the same frequency at the
same time.
Station 2
Station 1 Ionosphere
FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40―50 km (25
―30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into 2 channels, stereo FM
