Pairing a Mobile Phone
Before you can use your mobile phone with the hands-
free communication function on your car, you must
create a pairing relationship between the mobile phone
and the hands-free communication system.
During the pairing procedure, the hands-free communi-
cation system attempts to detect aBluetoothwireless
technology enabled mobile phone within range, and then
establishes the connection using a Personal Identification
Number (PIN). After a pairing relationship is established,
you can use the hands-free communication system to
make and receive phone calls, and do other operations
via your wirelessly-connected mobile phone.NOTE:Some mobile phones may require a setting
change or access permission change in order for
BLUE&ME™to automatically reconnect. See your mo-
bile phones manual for more information.
IMPORTANT!The mobile phone pairing PIN number is
a special PIN generated randomly at each new pairing
and used just for this operation. It is not your SIM PIN
and therefore it is not required to store or to keep it in
mind; losing it will not impair the hands-free communi-
cation system operation.
The pairing procedure will only need to be performed
once for your mobile phone. After this procedure
BLUE&ME™will automatically connect to your phone
each time you get into the car and turn the ignition key to
ON.
You can create a pairing relationship using thePAIRING
option in theSETTINGSmenu.

For the next two steps, consult your mobile phone
owner ’s manual aboutBluetoothpairing.
On your mobile phone, query forBluetoothwireless
technology enabled mobile phones that are within range
(this option on your mobile phone might be called
Discover, New Device, etc.). View the list ofBluetoothwireless technology enabled mobile phones and select “
BLUE&ME™” (item that identifies the hands-free com-
munication package in your car).
When prompted by the mobile phone, enter the PIN
number shown on the instrument panel display using
your mobile phone keypad. If pairing is successful, the
system will say“Connecting”and then the display will
show the paired mobile phone ID.
It is of vital importance to wait until this confirmation
message is displayed, since pressing the
/MAINor
/ESCbuttons at this time may cancel the pairing
process. If pairing fails, an error message will be dis-
played and the pairing procedure needs to be repeated.
The first time a phone connect to the system, the system
will say“Welcome”immediately after connecting. This
message will no longer be heard the next time the phone
connects to the system.

For certain mobile phones the phonebook is not copied
automatically, in this case you must send the contacts in

Practical hints
To improve both the voice recognition of your phone-
book entries andBLUE&ME™pronunciation accuracy
when repeating the entries, please try to enter contact
entries and memorize them using the following criteria:
•Avoid abbreviations.
•Write foreign names according to the way in which
they are pronounced according to the rules of the
BLUE&ME™language set on your car. For example,enter “Tanja” as “Tanya”, to improve recognition ac-
curacy and also to obtain the correct pronunciation by
the system.
•When adding or editing contact entries, insert the
appropriate accent marks when the name requires
these marks to be properly pronounced and recog-
nized by the system. For example enter “Nicolo Re-
bora” as “Nicolò Rébora” to obtain the correct pronun-
ciation.
•When adding or editing contact entries, bear in mind
that certain capital letters may be read as Roman
numerals (e.g., V may be read as fifth).
•When calling contacts by voice, do not include the
middle names or middle initials of your contacts.
