Hands-Free Phone System

System Operation

NOTE: Cellular telephones must have their wireless connection set up (paired) before using the Bluetooth ^® telephone system.

The Bluetooth ^® telephone system allows users who have a Bluetooth ^® cellular telephone to make a wireless connection between their cellular telephone and the audio unit. Hands-free cellular telephone calls can be sent and received. Some Bluetooth ^® cellular telephones may not be recognized by the audio unit. When a cellular telephone or the audio unit is replaced, the telephone must be paired with the audio unit. Different cellular telephones may have different pairing procedures, refer to the cellular telephone operating manual.

Refer to the Owner's Manual for Bluetooth ^® telephone system operating instructions.
