— Checking the connection to the
hands-free phone.
. Do not place a Bluetooth
®audio device
in an area surrounded by metal or far
away from the in-vehicle Bluetooth
®
module to prevent tone quality degra-
dation and wireless connection disrup-
tion.
. While an audio device is connected
through a Bluetooth
®wireless connec-
tion, the battery power of the device
may discharge quicker than usual.
