Pair and connect a mobile device
You can connect the car kit to a compatible mobile device using Bluetooth wireless technology.
Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you to connect compatible devices without cables. A Bluetooth connection does not require that the two devices be in line of sight, but the devices should be within 10 meters (30 feet) of each other. The connection is subject to interference from obstructions, such as walls, or other electronic devices. The car kit is compliant with Bluetooth Specification 1.2 supporting the following profiles: Handsfree Profile 1.5, Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) 1.0, and Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) 1.0. Check with the manufacturers of other devices to determine their compatibility with this car kit.
There may be restrictions on using Bluetooth technology in some locations. Check with your local authorities or service provider.
Set up a connection with your mobile device
For a Bluetooth connection, you need a compatible mobile device that supports Bluetooth wireless technology. When your device is connected to the car kit using Bluetooth wireless technology, you can keep it, for example, in a bag, while using the car kit. To charge the battery in your compatible Nokia device while using the car kit, connect the device through the supplied connectivity cable to the car kit. To pair and connect your device to the car kit, do as follows: 1. Switch on the device and the car kit (see p. 12). 2. Activate the Bluetooth feature on your device, and set the device to search for Bluetooth devices. See the user guide of your device for instructions. 3. Select the car kit from the list of found devices. 4. Enter the Bluetooth passcode 0000 to pair and connect the car kit to your device. In some devices you may need to make the connection separately after pairing. See the user guide of your device for details. You only need to pair the car kit with your device once. If the pairing is successful, the car kit sounds a high beep and appears in the menu of your mobile device where you can view the currently paired Bluetooth devices. If the pairing fails, the car kit sounds a low beep. Try to pair again by carefully following the pairing instructions. You can pair the car kit with up to eight mobile devices in total but connect it to only one mobile device at a time. The car kit can connect to a paired device only if the device is switched on and has the Bluetooth feature activated.
