Bluetooth is a short-range radio
5
technology. Bluetooth devices
are short-range devices (trans-
86
mitting with a limited range) on
the license-free ISM band (Indus-
trial, Scientific, Medical) between
2.402 GHz and 2.480 GHz. They
can be operated anywhere in the
world without requiring a license.
Although Bluetooth is designed
to establish robust links over a
short distance, disturbances are
possible, as they are with any
z
wireless technology. Links may
be disturbed, interrupted briefly
or lost entirely. Especially when
several devices are operated in
one Bluetooth network, there is
no guarantee for smooth opera-
tion in every situation.
Possible sources of
interference:
Interference fields due to trans-
mission towers and similar.
Devices with incorrectly imple-
mented Bluetooth standard
By nearby Bluetooth-capable
devices
Pairing
Before two Bluetooth devices
can be linked to one another,
they must recognize each other.
This process of mutual recogni-
tion is known as pairing. When
two devices have paired they re-
member each other, so the pair-
ing process is conducted only
once, on initial contact.
NOTICE
On some mobile devices, e.g.
with operating system iOS, the
BMW Motorrad Connected App
must be called up before using.
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
recognize 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-capable de-
vices must be OFF (e.g. mo-
bile phones and navigation sys-
tems).
Please consult the operating in-
structions for your communica-
tion system.
