Bluetooth is the registered trademark of
Bluetooth SIG. Inc.
NOTE
lIt may not be possible to play a Bluetooth
audio device if it is placed in a location
where transmission is compromised, such
as inside a metal container or the trunk.
Move the Bluetooth audio device to a
location where transmission is possible.
lThe battery consumption of Bluetooth audio
devices is higher while Bluetooth-
connected.
lIf a non-Bluetooth device is to be used, a
commercially-available Bluetooth adapter
is required. When playing an audio device
with a Bluetooth adapter installed,
programming of the audio device may not
be possible or audio may not be heard from
the vehicle speakers if the connection of the
adapter and the device is poor. If this
happens, check whether the Bluetooth
adapter is properly connected.
qBluetooth Audio Preparation
Bluetooth audio device set-up
Bluetooth audio programming, changes,
deletions, and display of programmed
device information can be performed.
Bluetooth audio device programming
Any Bluetooth audio device must be
programmed to the vehicle's Bluetooth
unit before it can be listened to over the
vehicle's speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including
Bluetooth audio devices and hands-free
mobile phones can be programmed to one
vehicle.NOTE
lAlways perform Bluetooth audio device
programming while the vehicle is stopped.
lProgramming cannot be performed while
the vehicle is moving. If you attempt to
perform programming while the vehicle is
moving,“Pairing prohibited”is displayed.
lA total of seven devices can be programmed
to one vehicle. If you require an additional
device to be programmed to a vehicle with
seven devices already programmed, delete
one of the programmed devices before
programming the latest one.
lIf a Bluetooth device has already been
programmed to the vehicle as a hands-free
mobile phone, it does not need to be
programmed again when using the device
as a Bluetooth audio device. Conversely, it
does not need to be programmed again as a
hands-free mobile phone if it has already
been programmed as a Bluetooth audio
device.
lLook around to be sure other likely
Bluetooth audio devices are not in range
when you start to program. If in doubt,
move your car to another location. The
transmission range of a Bluetooth audio
device is about 10 m (32 ft). Therefore, if
there is another Bluetooth audio device
within a 10 m (32 ft) radius of the vehicle,
the device may be identified and
programmed instead.
lDevice registration can also be done using
voice recognition (page 6-138).
Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth
audio device itself, refer to its instruction
manual.
Some Bluetooth audio devices have PIN
codes (four digits). Refer to the audio
device's instruction manual because the
programming procedure differs depending
on whether it has a PIN code or not.

Bluetooth Hands-Freeí
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
Perform phonebook registration related
operations while the vehicle is parked:
Performing phonebook registration
while driving the vehicle could be a
distraction to your driving and result
in an accident. In addition, a mistake
in performing the phonebook
operation could result in the loss of
important data.
Bluetooth equipped device (Mobile
phone)
A Bluetooth equipped device (Mobile
phone) communicates with the hands-free
unit equipped on the vehicle using radio
transmission (Bluetooth).
For example, if the device (Mobile phone)
is placed in a coat pocket, the phone calls
can be made through your mobile service
without taking out and handling the
device (Mobile phone).
CAUTION
The types of devices (Mobile phone)
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
