What is Bluetooth®?
Bluetooth®refers to a short-distance
wireless networking technology
which uses a 2.4GHz ~ 2.48GHz
frequency to connect various
devices within a certain distance.
Supported within PCs, external devices,
Bluetooth®phones, PDAs,
various electronic devices, and
automotive environments,
Bluetooth®allows data to be trans-
mitted at high speeds without hav-
ing to use a connector cable.

Bluetooth®Handsfree refers to a
device which allows the user to
conveniently make phone calls with
Bluetooth®mobile phones through
the audio system.

Bluetooth®Handsfree may not be
supported in some mobile phones.

Precautions for Safe Driving
Bluetooth®Handsfree is a feature
that enables drivers to practice
safe driving. Connecting the head
unit with a
Bluetooth®phone allows
the user to conveniently make and
receive calls and use contacts.
Before using
Bluetooth®, carefully
read the contents of this user’s
manual.
Excessive use or operations while driving may lead to negligent driv-
ing practices and result in acci-
dents. Refrain from excessive
operations while driving.

may lead to accidents. When driv-
ing, view the screen only for short
periods of time.
WARNING
Driving while distracted can
result in a loss of vehicle control
that may lead to an accident,
severe personal injury, and
death. The driver’s primary
responsibility is in the safe and
legal operation of a vehicle, and
use of any handheld devices,
other equipment, or vehicle sys-
tems which take the driver’s
eyes, attention and focus away
from the safe operation of a vehi-
cle or which are not permissible
by law should never be used dur-
ing operation of the vehicle.
