Receiving Calls - BMW 328xi Owner's Manual

Operation via iDrive
You can operate the following functions using
iDrive:
> Accepting a call
> Dialing phone numbers
> Selecting phone numbers from the phone
book
> Selecting stored phone numbers, e.g. from
the list of accepted calls
> Ending a call
When the ignition and radio readiness are
switched off, e.g. after taking the remote control
out of the ignition switch, you can continue an
ongoing call via the hands-free system for no
more than 25 minutes.
Voice quality
If the person you are talking to is having difficul-
ties understanding you, this may be due to
excessive background noise. The full mobile
phone preparation package can compensate
for these noises to a certain extent. To optimize
voice quality during a call, we recommend that
you:
> Reduce background noise, e.g. by closing
the windows, reducing air flow from the
automatic climate control or by pointing the
front air vents downward.
>
Reduce the volume of the hands-free sys-
tem.
Requirements
The mobile phone's pairing data are stored by
the vehicle and the mobile phone is operational.
The engine is running or the ignition is switched
on.
The mobile phone is recognized by the vehicle.
iDrive, for operating principle refer to page 16.
