wireless technology is a standard which has been developed for use in
mobile (cell) phones and other devices. This radio can be wirelessly linked to your
mobile phone if your mobile phone also has Bluetooth. This process of linking your
mobile phone and this radio requires a one-time “pairing” after which the two devices
can be “connected” when they are within range. When connected, this radio can act
as the speaker and microphone of your mobile phone while your phone is stowed in a
safe and dry location.
This programming section shows you how to complete the pairing process. It also shows
you how to change some settings related to the Bluetooth functionality of your radio.
Pairing Your Mobile Phone:
1. Press and release the
Bluetooth
button to enter
BLUETOOTH Standby
. The matrix will display
BLUETOOTH
STANDBY
and the blue keypad backlight will come On.
2.
Press and hold the
Bluetooth
button for four (4) seconds
[until the radio beeps four (4) times] from the
Bluetooth
Standby
mode. The blue backlight will light. Your radio is
now in a “Pairing Mode” and can be “found” by your phone.
While in pairing mode, the LCD will display
PAIRING
as
shown in the illustration below.
3.
Follow the mobile phone’s instructions to search for
available pairing with another Bluetooth device. This can
often be found in the Tools or Settings menu of your mobile
phone.
Enter the “P.I.N.” (Personal Identification Number 0000), on
your mobile phone if prompted. Wait for the pairing
process to complete.

This process only needs to be completed for first
time operation. From then on, as long as your mobile
phone is within 30 feet (10 meters) of the radio, the two
units will “Connect” automatically.
