Pairing - BMW K 1600 GT Supplementary Instructions Manual

Pairing

1
Two Bluetooth devices have to
recognise each other before they
6
can communicate. This process
of mutual recognition is known
as pairing. In the pairing process
a Bluetooth-compatible device
searches for visible Bluetooth-
compatible devices within its re-
ception range and saves their
IDs. When two devices have
paired they remember each oth-
er, so the pairing process is con-
ducted only once, on initial con-
tact.
These instructions describe the
z
pairing procedures for various
combinations of devices. The
presumption is that the following
BMW systems are used:
Audio system of the BMW
K 1600 GT or the BMW
K 1600 GTL.
BMW Motorrad communication
system (in System helmet 5,
System helmet 6, or Sport hel-
met with Bluetooth 2.0)
BMW Motorrad Navigator IV
In principle other systems can be
used as well, but given the pos-
sibility of differences in specific-
ations and the variety of possible
combinations, BMW Motorrad
cannot guarantee flawless opera-
tion. The systems must have the
following properties:
Navigation devices:
HFP (Hands Free Profile) or
HSP (Headset Profile), in or-
der to communication with the
BMW communication system.
Mobile phones:
HFP/HSP, in order to com-
municate with the BMW nav-
igation system or the BMW
communication system.
Communication systems:
A2DP (Advanced Audio Dis-
tribution Profile) in order to
receive audio data from the
BMW audio system.
HFP/HSP, in order to commu-
nicate with the BMW naviga-
tion system.
Two communication systems
(rider and passenger systems)
with the audio system is pos-
sible only with BMW Motorrad
systems. These systems must
support Bluetooth standard 2.0
or higher. Other-make com-
munication systems cannot be
used in this case.
It is absolutely essential to pro-
ceed in the correct sequence
when pairing, as otherwise the
systems will not all function cor-
rectly:
