How to Make Wireless
Connection with BLUETOOTH
Devices
You can enjoy music and hands-free calling with the
system wirelessly by using your device's BLUETOOTH
function.
Choose one of the following three connection methods,
best suited for the BLUETOOTH device. For details on
how to operate your device, refer to the operating
instructions supplied with the device.
Pairing with a BLUETOOTH device: see
Pattern A
BLUETOOTH devices need to be "paired" with each other
beforehand.
Connecting with a paired device: see
Pattern B
To listen to music with a BLUETOOTH device that has
been paired, see this pattern.
One-touch connection with a
smartphone (NFC):
see
Pattern C
Using an NFC compatible smartphone, you can establish
BLUETOOTH connection by just touching the system
with it.
For details about NFC, see "About NFC" in Pattern C .
Check the following before operating the system.
ˎ Both the system and the device are placed within 1 m ˎ
of each other.
ˎ The system is connected to a power source. ˎ
ˎ The operating instructions supplied with the device ˎ
are kept at hand.

ˎ Once BLUETOOTH devices are paired, there is no need to pair ˎ
those devices again. However, in the following cases, you will
need to perform the pairing procedure again.
ˋ Pairing information is deleted after repair, etc. ˎ
ˋ The system is paired with 5 or more devices. ˎ
The system can be paired with up to 4 BLUETOOTH devices. If
a new device is paired after 4 devices have been paired, the
device whose latest connection time is the oldest among the
4 paired devices is replaced by the new one.
