qWhat is Bluetooth Hands-Free?
Bluetooth Hands-Free Outline
By connecting a Bluetooth equipped
device (Mobile phone) to the hands-free
unit equipped on the vehicle, making and
receiving calls are possible using the talk
button, pick-up button and hang-up button
located on the steering wheel, and saying
the voice commands.
WARNING

operation could result in the loss of
important data.
Bluetooth equipped device (Mobile
phone)
A Bluetooth equipped device (Mobile

can be made through your mobile service
without taking out and handling the
device (Mobile phone).
CAUTION

which can be connected to the
hands-free unit are limited.
Therefore, before purchasing or
changing your device (Mobile phone)
model, consult Mazda Bluetooth
Hands-Free Customer Service or visit
www.MazdaUSA.com/bluetooth for a
complete list of compatible phones.
Devices (Mobile phone) which can be
connected to the hands-free system
need to be compliant with Bluetooth
specifications and the appropriate
profile. However, even among these
Bluetooth devices (Mobile phone) are
some which will not connect with
your Mazda or will have limited
function. Therefore, consult Mazda

Device programming (Pairing)
To use Bluetooth Hands-Free, the device
equipped with Bluetooth has to be
programmed to the hands-free unit using
the following procedure.
A maximum of seven devices including
hands-free mobile phones and Bluetooth
audio devices can be programmed to one
vehicle.
NOTE
lA device can be programmed only when the
vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to
move, the pairing procedure will end.
Programming is dangerous while driving -
pair up your device before you start
driving. Park the car in a safe place before
programming.
lIf a Bluetooth device has already been
programmed to the vehicle as a Bluetooth
audio device, it does not need to be
programmed again when using the device
as a hands-free mobile phone. Conversely,
it does not need to be programmed again as
a Bluetooth audio device if it has already
been programmed as a hands-free mobile
phone.
lSince the communication range of a
Bluetooth equipped device is about 10
meters (32 ft), if a device is placed within a
10-meter (32 ft) radius of the vehicle, it may
be detected/programmed unintentionally
while another device is being programmed.
1. Activate the Bluetooth application ofthe device.
NOTE
For the operation of the device, refer to its
instruction manual.
2. Press the pick-up button or talk button with a short press.
