BLUETOOTH 

BLUETOOTH 

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless radio 
communication technology for mobile devices such 
as mobile phones, portable PCs, and other devices. 
Bluetooth devices can be connected without cables 
and communicate with each other. 

Notes
•  While driving, do not perform complicated 

operations such as dialing numbers, using 
the phonebook, etc. When you perform these 
operations, stop your car in a safe place.

•  Some Bluetooth devices may not connect to this 

unit depending on the Bluetooth version of the 
device.

•  This unit may not work for some Bluetooth 

devices.

•  Connecting conditions may vary depending on 

your environment.

•  For some Bluetooth devices, the device is 

disconnected when the unit is turned off.

 

  Registering a new Bluetooth device

When you connect a Bluetooth device to the unit for 
the first time, pair the unit and the device. Pairing 
allows Bluetooth devices to communicate with each 
other.
•  The pairing method differs depending on the 

Bluetooth version of the device.

 

– For devices with Bluetooth 2.1: You can pair the 

device and the unit using SSP (Secure Simple 
Pairing) which only requires confirmation.

 

– For devices with Bluetooth 2.0: You need to 

enter a PIN code both on the device and unit for 
pairing.

•   Once the connection is established, it is registered 

in the unit even if you reset the unit. Up to 5 
devices can be registered in total.

•  Only one device for Bluetooth phone and one for 

Bluetooth audio can be connected at a time.

•  To use the Bluetooth function, you need to turn on 

the Bluetooth function of the device.

•  To use the registered device, you need to connect 

the device to the unit. (Page 34)
