USING SYNC™ WITH YOUR
PHONE
Hands-free calling is one of the main
features of SYNC. While the system
supports a variety of features, many are
dependent on your cellular phone's
functionality. At a minimum, most cellular
phones with Bluetooth wireless technology
support the following functions:
•
Answering an incoming call.
• Ending a call.
• Dialing a number.
• Redialing.
• Call waiting notification.
• Caller identification.
Other features, such as text messaging
using Bluetooth® and automatic
phonebook download, are
phone-dependent features.

Wirelessly pairing your phone with SYNC
allows you to make and receive hands-free
calls.

and the radio. Shift the transmission into
park (P) for automatic transmission or
neutral (N) for manual transmission.

with questions, such as setting the current
phone as the primary phone and
downloading your phonebook.

Supported USB file systems include: FAT,
exFAT, and NTFS.
SYNC 3 is also able to organize the media
from your USB device by metadata tags.
Metadata tags, which are descriptive
software identifiers embedded in the
media files, provide information about the
file.
If your indexed media files contain no
information embedded in these metadata
tags, SYNC 3 may classify the empty
metadata tags as unknown.
SYNC 3 is capable of indexing up to
50,000 songs per USB device, for up to 10
devices.
