bluetooth FORD TRANSIT CONNECT 2015 2.G Owner's Guide

Helpful Hints
•
Make sure the interior of your vehicle is
as quiet as possible. Wind noise from
open windows and road vibrations may
prevent the system from correctly
recognizing spoken voice commands.
• After pressing the voice command icon,
wait until after the tone sounds and
Listening appears before saying a voice
command. Any voice command spoken
prior to this does not register with the
system.
• Speak naturally, without long pauses
between words.
• At any time, you can interrupt the
system while it is speaking by pressing
the voice command icon.

Supported Media Players, Formats
and Metadata Information
SYNC is capable of hosting nearly any
digital media player, including iPod,
Zune ™, plays from device players, and
most USB drives. Supported audio formats
include MP3, WMA, WAV and AAC.
It is also able to organize your indexed
media from your playing 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 may classify the empty
metadata tags as unknown. Bluetooth Audio
The system allows you to stream audio
over your vehicle's speakers from your

• Ending a call. •
Using privacy mode.
• Dialing a number.
• Redialing.
• Call waiting notification.

Other features, such as text messaging
using Bluetooth and automatic phonebook

features. To check your cell phone ’s
compatibility, see your cell phone ’s user
manual and visit www.SYNCMyRide.com,

Pairing Your Cell Phone for the
First Time
WARNING
Driving while distracted can result in
loss of vehicle control, crash and
injury. We strongly recommend that
you use extreme caution when using any
device that may take your focus off the
road. Your primary responsibility is the safe
operation of your vehicle. We recommend
against the use of any handheld device
while driving and encourage the use of
voice-operated systems when possible.
Make sure you are aware of all applicable
local laws that may affect the use of
electronic devices while driving. The first thing you must do to use the
phone features of SYNC is to pair your
Bluetooth-enabled cell phone with SYNC.
This allows you to use your cell phone in a
hands-free manner.

more information on your cell phone's capability, see your
cell phone's manual and visit the website.
