Bluetooth Compatibility
You can use your Bluetooth-capable phone hands-
free in Model S provided your phone is within
operating range. Although Bluetooth typically
supports wireless communication over distances of
up to approximately 9 metres, performance can vary
based on the phone's software and age.
Before using your phone with Model S, you must
pair it. Pairing sets up Model S to work with your
Bluetooth-capable phone (see
Phone on page 76).
You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones. Model S
always automatically connects to the last phone that
was used (provided it is within range). If you want to
connect to a different phone, see
Paired Phone on page 77.
Note: On many phones, Bluetooth turns off if the
phone's battery is low.
Note: In addition to phones, you can also pair
Bluetooth-enabled devices with Model S. For
example, you can pair an iPod Touch or an iPad or
Android tablet to stream music.
Pairing a Bluetooth
Pairing sets up Model S to work with your Bluetooth-
capable phone. Once a phone is paired, Model S
can connect to it whenever the phone is within
range.
To pair a phone, follow these steps while sitting
inside Model S:
1.
Ensure both the touchscreen and the phone are
powered on.
2. On the touchscreen's status bar, touch(the
Bluetooth icon).
3. On your phone, enable Bluetooth and set it to
discoverable.
4. On the Model S touchscreen, touch Start
Search. The touchscreen searches then
displays the list of all available Bluetooth
devices within operating distance.
5. On the Model S touchscreen, touch the phone
with which you want to pair. Within a few
seconds, the touchscreen displays a randomly
generated number, and your phone should
display the same number.
6.
Check that the number displayed on your
phone matches the number displayed on the
touchscreen. Then, on your phone, confirm that
you want to pair.
When paired, Model S connects to the phone and
the touchscreen displays the Bluetooth symbol next

Importing Contacts
Once paired, you can use the Bluetooth settings
screen to specify whether you want to allow access
to your phone's contacts and recent calls.
If access is turned on, you can see your list of
contacts on the Model S touchscreen. Touch
Phone > Contacts. You can then touch a contact to
dial its phone number or navigate to its address.
Note: Before contacts can be imported, you may
need to either set your phone to allow syncing, or
respond to a popup on your phone to confirm that it
is OK to sync contacts. This varies depending on
the type of phone you are using. For details, refer to
the owner documentation provided with your phone.
If access is turned on, imported information is
displayed when you touch the contacts tab on the
Phone app.
Unpairing a Bluetooth
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it
again later, simply touch Disconnect on the
Bluetooth settings screen. If you do not want to use
your phone with Model S again, touch Forget This
Device. Once you forget a device, you need to pair
it again if you want to use it with Model S (see
Pairing a Bluetooth phone).
Note: Your phone automatically disconnects
whenever you leave Model S.
