Bluetooth is a short-range

wireless technology. Bluetooth
devices are short-range devices
94
transmitting on the license-free
ISM band (Industrial, Scientific,
Medical) between 2.402 GHz
and 2.480 GHz. They can be
operated anywhere in the world
without a licence being required.
Although Bluetooth is designed
to establish and sustain robust
connections over short distances,
as with every other wireless
z
technology disruptions are
possible. Interference can affect
connections or connections can
sometimes fail. Particularly when
multiple devices operate in a
Bluetooth network, with wireless
technology of this nature it is
not possible to ensure fault-
free communications in every
situation.
Possible sources of
interference:
interference zones due to
transmission masts and similar.
devices with non-compliant
Bluetooth implementations
proximity of other Bluetooth-
compatible devices
Pairing
Two Bluetooth devices must de-
tect each other before they can
create a connection with each
other. This process of mutual
recognition is known as pairing.
When two devices have paired
they remember each other, so
the pairing process is conducted
only once, on initial contact.
NOTICE
On some mobile devices, e.g.
those with iOS operating sys-
tems, the BMW Motorrad Con-
nected App must be opened be-
fore use.
During the pairing process, the
TFT display searches for other
Bluetooth-compatible devices
within its reception range. The
conditions that have to be satis-
fied before the audio system can
recognise another device are as
follows:
The Bluetooth function of the
device must be activated
The device must be "visible" to
others
The device must support the
A2DP profile
Other Bluetooth-compatible
devices must be OFF (e.g.
mobile phones and navigation
systems).
Please consult the operating in-
structions for your communica-
tion system.
Pairing
Call up the Settings, Con-
nections menu.
