y When the OS of the device is updated, the pairing information may be deleted. If this
happens, reprogram the pairing information to the Bluetooth ® unit. 


y If you pair your phone which has already been paired to your vehicle more than once in
the past, you need to delete “Mazda” on your mobile device. Then, execute the Bluetooth ®
search on your mobile device once again, and pair to a newly detected “Mazda”.
 


y Before you pair your device, make sure that Bluetooth ® is “ON”, both on your phone and
on the vehicle.


Voice recognition related problems
Symptom Cause Solution method
Poor voice recognition
y Excessive, slow speech.
y Excessive, forceful speech
(shouting).

y Speaking before the beep sound
has ended.

y Loud noise (speaking or noise from
outside/inside vehicle).

y A i rÀ ow from A/C is blowing
against the microphone.

y Speaking in off-standard
expressions (dialect). Regarding the causes indicated
on the left, be careful with how
you speak. In addition, when
numbers are spoken in a sequence,
recognition ability will improve
if no stop is placed between the
numbers. False recognition of numbers
Poor voice recognition There is a malfunction in the
microphone. A poor connection or malfunction
with the microphone may have
occurred. Consult an Authorized
Mazda Dealer.
Phone-related voice recognition is
disabled There is a problem with the
connection between the Bluetooth
®
unit and the device. If there is any malfunction after
checking the pairing situation, check
for device pairing or connection
problems.
Names in the phonebook are not
easily recognized The Bluetooth
® system is under a
condition in which recognition is
dif¿ cult. By carrying out the following
measures, the rate of recognition
will improve.
y Clear memory from the phonebook
which is not used very often.

y Avoid shortened names, use full
names. (Recognition improves the
longer the name is. By not using
names such as “Mom”, “Dad”,
recognition will improve.)

When operating the audio, a song
name is not recognized Song names cannot be recognized
by voice. —
You want to skip guidance
— Guidance can be skipped by quickly
pressing and releasing the talk
button.

Regarding problems with calls
Symptom Cause Solution method
When starting a call, vehicle noise
from the other party can be heard For about three seconds after
starting a call, the Bluetooth
®
unit's Noise Suppression function
requires time to adapt to the call
environment. This does not indicate a problem
with the device.
The other party cannot be heard or
the speaker's voice is quiet The volume is set at zero or low. Increase the volume.

Other problems
Symptom Cause Solution method
The indication for the remaining
battery is different between the
vehicle and the device The indication method is different
between the vehicle and the device. —
When a call is made from the
vehicle, the telephone number is
updated in the incoming/outgoing
call record but the name does not
appear The number has not been registered
into the phonebook. If the number has been registered
into the phonebook, the incoming/
outgoing call record is updated by
the name in the phonebook when the
engine is restarted.
The cell phone does not synchronize
with the vehicle regarding the
incoming/outgoing call record Some types of cell phones do not
synchronize automatically. Operate the cell phone for
synchronization.
It takes a long time to complete the
function for changing the language A maximum of 60 seconds is
required. —

WARNING
Always adjust the audio while the
vehicle is stopped:
Do not adjust the audio control
switches while driving the vehicle.
Adjusting the audio while driving
the vehicle is dangerous as it could
distract your attention from the vehicle
operation which could lead to a
serious accident.
Even if the audio control switches are
equipped on the steering wheel, learn
to use the switches without looking
down at them so that you can keep
your maximum attention on the road
while driving the vehicle.

CAUTION
For the purposes of safe driving,
adjust the audio volume to a level that
allows you to hear sounds outside of
the vehicle including car horns and
particularly emergency vehicle sirens.

N O T E
 


y To prevent the battery from being
discharged, do not leave the audio
system on for a long period of time
when the engine is not running.
 


y If a cellular phone or CB radio is used
in or near the vehicle, it could cause
noise to occur from the audio system,
however, this does not indicate that the
system has been damaged.

Do not spill any liquid on the audio
system.


Radio Reception
AM characteristics
AM signals bend around such things as
buildings or mountains and bounce off the
ionosphere.
Therefore, they can reach longer distances
than FM signals.
Because of this, two stations may
sometimes be picked up on the same
frequency at the same time.

Station 2 Station 1Ionosphere

FM characteristics
An FM broadcast range is usually about
40—50 km (25—30 miles) from the
source. Because of extra coding needed to
break the sound into two channels, stereo
FM has even less range than monaural
(non-stereo) FM.

FM Station
40—50km
(25—30 miles)

Signals from an FM transmitter are similar
to beams of light because they do not
bend around corners, but they do reÀ ect.
Unlike AM signals, FM signals cannot
travel beyond the horizon. Therefore, FM
stations cannot be received at the great
distances possible with AM reception.

AM wave FM wave
FM wave
100—200 km (60—120 miles)Ionosphere

Atmospheric conditions can also affect
FM reception. High humidity will cause
poor reception. However, cloudy days may
provide better reception than clear days. Multipath noise
Since FM signals can be reÀ ected by
obstructions, it is possible to receive both
the direct signal and the reÀ ected signal
at the same time. This causes a slight
delay in reception and may be heard as a
broken sound or a distortion. This problem
may also be encountered when in close
proximity to the transmitter.

Reflected wave
Direct

Flutter/Skip noise
Signals from an FM transmitter move in
straight lines and become weak in valleys
between tall buildings, mountains, and
other obstacles. When a vehicle passes
through such an area, the reception
conditions may change suddenly, resulting
in annoying noise.

Weak signal noise
In suburban areas, broadcast signals
become weak because of distance from the
transmitter. Reception in such fringe areas
is characterized by sound breakup.


Strong signal noise
This occurs very close to a transmitter
tower. The broadcast signals are extremely
strong, so the result is noise and sound
breakup at the radio receiver.


Station drift noise
When a vehicle reaches the area of two
strong stations broadcasting at similar
frequencies, the original station may be
temporarily lost and the second station
picked up. At this time there will be some
noise from this disturbance.
