What is Bluetooth Wireless
Technology?
Bluetooth Wireless Technology refers to a
short-distance wireless networking technology
which uses a 2.45 GHz frequency to connect
various devices within a certain distance.
Supported within PCs, external devices,
Bluetooth phones, PDAs, various electronic
devices, and automotive environments,
Bluetooth Wireless Technology is transmitted at
high speeds without having to use a connector
cable.
Bluetooth hands-free refers to a device which
allows the user to conveniently make phone
calls with Bluetooth mobile phones through the
system.
The Bluetooth hands-free feature may not
be supported in some mobile phones.

Precautions for safe driving

Bluetooth hands-free is a feature that
enables drivers to practice safe driving.
Connecting the head unit with a Bluetooth
phone allows the user to conveniently make
calls, receive calls, and manage the phone
book. Before using Bluetooth Wireless
Technology, carefully read the contents of
this owner s manual.
Excessive use or operations while driving
may lead to negligent driving practices and
be the cause of accidents. Do not operate
the device excessively while driving.
Viewing the screen for prolonged periods of
time is dangerous and may lead to accidents.
When driving, view the screen only for short
periods of time.
Cautions upon connecting Bluetooth
phone
Before connecting the head unit with the
mobile phone, check to see that the mobile
phone supports Bluetooth features.
If you do not want automatic connection with
your Bluetooth device, turn the Bluetooth
feature off on the Bluetooth device.
Park the vehicle when pairing the head unit
with the mobile phone.
Some Bluetooth features may occasionally
not operate properly depending on the
firmware version of your mobile phone. If
such features can be operated after receiving
a S/W upgrade from your mobile phone
manufacturer, unpair all devices and pair
again before use.
