Pairing
Two Bluetooth devices have to
recognise each other before they
can communicate. This process
of mutual recognition is known
as pairing. When two devices
have paired they remember each
other, so the pairing process is
conducted only once, on initial
contact.
Two BMW communication sys-
tems with Bluetooth standard 2.0
are required if both rider's helmet
and passenger's helmet are to
be paired to the audio system. If
either of the two BMW systems
is using Bluetooth standard 1.2,
only one helmet can be paired.
Refer to the operating instruc-
tions of your communication sys-
tem for information on Bluetooth
standards.
During the pairing process, the
audio system searches for other
Bluetooth-compatible devices
within its reception range. The
conditions that have to be satis-
fied before the audio system can
recognise another device are as
follows:
The device's Bluetooth func-
tion must be active
The device must be "visible" to
others
The device must support the
A2DP profile
Other Bluetooth-compatible
devices must be OFF (e.g.
mobile phones and navigation
systems).
Please consult the operating in-
structions for your communica-
tion system.
Pairing information already saved
in the BMW Motorrad commu-
nication system has to be de-
leted beforehand. Always start
by pairing with the audio system
first.
Pairing
Switch the Bluetooth function
on and the loudspeakers off.
Switch off all other Bluetooth
enabled devices (e. g. mobile
telephones) within ten metres
(or at least their Bluetooth
function).
Activate helmet's Bluetooth
function and visibility (see hel-
met operating instructions).
NOTICE
It can take some time for a
Bluetooth device to be detected.
It is always best to activate the
search function as soon as
possible after activating visibility,
so that the searching device will
