SOME BASICS
The hands-free system enables calls to be made and received
without having to take your hands off the steering wheel.
This system supports Bluetooth. Bluetooth is a wireless data
system that enables cellular phones to be used without being
connected by a cable or placed in a cradle.
The operating procedure of the phone is explained here.
WARNING
l While driving, do not use a cellular phone or connect the
Bluetooth phone.
l This system is fitted with Bluetooth antennas. People with
implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac resynchronization
therapy-pacemakers or implantable cardioverter defibrillators
should maintain a reasonable distance between themselves and
the Bluetooth antennas. The radio waves may affect the operation
of such devices.
l Before using Bluetooth phones, users of any electrical medical
device other than implantable cardiac pacemakers, cardiac
resynchronization therapy-pacemakers
cardioverter defibrillators should consult the manufacturer of the
device for information about its operation under the influence of
radio waves. Radio waves could have unexpected effects on the
operation of such medical devices.
CAUTION
l Do not leave your cellular phone in the vehicle. The temperature
inside may rise to a level that could damage the phone.
NOTE
If your cellular phone does not support Bluetooth, this system cannot
l
function. Certain functions may not be available depending on the
type of cellular phone.
In the following conditions, the system may not function:
l
• The cellular phone is turned off.
• The current position is outside the communication area.
• The cellular phone is not connected.
• The cellular phone has a low battery.
When using the hands-free function and other Bluetooth functions
l
at the same time, the following problems may occur:
• The Bluetooth connection may be cut.
• Noise may be heard when playing back voice with the Bluetooth
function.
The other party's voice will be heard from the front speakers. The
l
audio system will be muted during phone calls or when hands-free
voice commands are used.
Talk alternately with the other party on the phone. If both parties
l
speak at the same time, the other party may not hear what has been
or implantable
said. (This is not a malfunction.)
Keep call volume down. Otherwise, the other party's voice may
l
be audible outside the vehicle and voice echo may increase. When
talking on the phone, speak clearly towards the microphone.
