BLUETOOTH OPERATION

About Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio connectivity technology that is developed as a cable replacement for mobile phones, handheld PCs and other devices. Bluetooth operates in 2.4 GHz frequency range and transmits voice and data at speeds up to 1 megabit per second. Bluetooth was launched by a special interest group (SIG) comprised of Ericsson Inc., Intel Corp., Nokia Corp., Toshiba and IBM in 1998, and it is currently developed by nearly 2,000 companies worldwide. The Bluetooth word mark and logos are owned by the Bluetooth SIG, Inc. and any use of such marks by Audiovox Corporation is under license. Other trademarks and trade names are those of their respective owners.

NOTE: The line-of-sight distance between this unit and your cellular phone must be 8 meters or less for sending and receiving voice and data via Bluetooth wireless technology. However, the transmission distance may become shorter than the estimated distance, depending on the environment in use.

Before attempting to use the Bluetooth functions on the MP6612i, please make sure your mobile phone supports Bluetooth functions (Headset or Handsfree profiles or both). Adhere to the following guidelines for successful operation.

•Before using Bluetooth functions, you must pair your mobile phone to the MP6612i head unit (see “Pairing your Mobile Phone and Head Unit via Bluetooth”). To ensure the best reception for pairing and re- connection, please make sure the phone battery is fully charged before you begin.

•Try to perform pairing within a few minutes of the phone being turned on.

•Once the unit has been paired with the phone, the unit’s model number, “MP6612i”, will be displayed on the mobile phone.

•To achieve the best performance, always keep the mobile phone within 3 meters of the head unit.

•Always keep a clear path between the mobile phone and the head unit. Never place a metal object or any other obstacle between the mobile phone and the head unit.

Some mobile phones (like Sony Ericsson) may have a "Power Saving Mode" option. PLEASE DO NOT use the power saving mode with the MP6612i.

•Before accepting or making a call, make sure your mobile phone's “Bluetooth function” is turned on.

•To ensure the best conversation quality/performance, stay within one meter of the head unit when talking.

•To “disconnect” the mobile phone from the head unit, turn the Bluetooth connectivity off on the mobile phone.

•Phone Book direct searching through the head unit is only available if the mobile phone supports Phone Book Download. If the feature is not supported, the head unit will display “EMPTY” when an attempt is made to download a phone book.

Hands Free Profile (HFP)

To use a phone wirelessly with this unit, it is necessary to first establish a connection using Bluetooth wireless technology. Connection is normally established using HFP (Hands Free Profile), which gives you full control of functions available on the telephone source. However, depending on your phone, the connection may be made using HSP (Head Set Profile), making some functions unavailable. This is a limitation of your phone, not the MP6612i.

Since there are a number of Bluetooth mobile phone implementations available on the market, operations with your Bluetooth mobile phone using this unit vary greatly.

Please refer to the instruction manual that came with your Bluetooth mobile phone along with this manual while operating your phone with this unit.
