Wireless smartphone charger



It allows wireless charging of a portable device
such as a smartphone, using the magnetic
induction principle, in accordance with the Qi 1.1
standard.
The portable device to be charged must be
compatible with the Qi standard, either by design
or by using a compatible holder or shell.
The charging area is identified by the Qi symbol.
The charger works with the engine running and
with the Stop & Start system in STOP mode.
Charging is managed by the smartphone.
With the Keyless Entry and Starting system, the
charger’s operation may be briefly disrupted when
a door is opened or the ignition is switched off.
Charging
►  With the charging area clear, place a device in
its centre.


When the portable device is detected, the
charger’s indicator lamp lights up green. It
remains lit for the whole time that the battery is
being charged.
The system is not designed to charge
multiple devices simultaneously.


Do not leave any metal objects (coins,
keys, vehicle remote control, etc.) in the
charging area while a device is being charged,
due to the risk of overheating or interrupting
the charging process.
Operating check
The state of the indicator lamp allows the
operation of the charger to be monitored.

Activating/Deactivating RDS
RDS, if activated, allows you to continue listening
to the same station by automatically retuning to
alternative frequencies.

the station during a journey.
Press the "Radio Settings" button.
Activate/Deactivate "RDS options".
Playing TA messages
The TA (Traffic Announcement) function gives
priority to TA alert messages.
To operate, this function needs good reception

All ".wma" files must be standard WMA 9 files.
The supported sampling rates are 11, 22, 44 and
48 KHz.
To avoid reading and display problems, we
recommend choosing file names less than 20
characters long that do not contain any special
characters (e.g. “ ? . ; ù).
Use only USB memory sticks in FAT or FAT32
format (File Allocation Table).
We recommend using the original USB
cable for the portable device.
Telephone
Pairing a Bluetooth® telephone
Up to 10 phones can be paired to the system.
Activate the Bluetooth function on the telephone
beforehand and ensure that it is "visible to all"
(telephone configuration).
To complete the pairing, whichever procedure is
used (from the telephone or from the system),
ensure that the code is the same in the system
and in the telephone.
The services available depend on the
network, the SIM card and the
compatibility of the Bluetooth devices used.
Check for services availability in the phone's
manual and with the operator.
The profiles compatible with the system
are: HFP, OPP, PBAP, DID, A2DP, AVRCP, SPP
and PAN.
Go to the Brand's website for more information

Streaming": wireless playing of audio files
on the telephone.
The system cannot be connected to
multiple telephones with the same profile.
No more than 2 phones can be connected
simultaneously (1 per profile).
The Bluetooth profiles chosen on the
phone have priority over the profiles
selected on the system.
If the pairing procedure fails, it is recommended
that you deactivate and then reactivate the
Bluetooth function on the telephone.
