possible.“7. Voice recognition”
Before using the Bluetooth® Hands-Free
Phone System, refer to the following notes. . Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) and the Blue-
tooth® functions share the same fre-
quency band (2.4 GHz). Using the
Bluetooth® and the wireless LAN func-
tions at the same time may slow down or disconnect the communication and cause
undesired noise. It is recommended that
you turn off the wireless LAN (Wi-Fi)
when using the Bluetooth® functions.
. Set up the wireless connection between
a compatible cellular phone and the in-
vehicle phone module before using the
Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone System.
. Some Bluetooth® enabled cellular
phones may not be recognized by the
in-vehicle phone module. Visit the web-
site below for a recommended phone list.

phone under the following conditions:

not be possible to receive a call for a
short period of time.
. Do not place the cellular phone in an area
surrounded by metal or far away from

nection, the battery power of the cellular
phone may discharge quicker than usual.

noise to come from the audio system
speakers. Storing the device in a differ-
ent location may reduce or eliminate the
noise.

Manual regarding the telephone pairing
procedure specific to your phone, bat-
tery charging, cellular phone antenna,
etc.
