Using the telephone feature
To use the Telephone feature, be sure the units are correctly
paired together, following the pairing procedure described in
section "Pairing the unit with a mobile phone".
Attention: information provided in this section refers to
the establishment of a direct communication between
the mobile phone and the BT1 unit. If the mobile phone is
connected via the GPS Sat-Nav, the mobile phone featu-

which means that all other communications are tempo-

enabled once the call ends.
