• After successful synching, the BD 1 and smart phone will remember each other and you will not have
to resynch again. If for some reason you do have to resynch, simply follow Steps 1 through 7 above.
• Each time the BD 1 is turned on it will automatically try to connect to the last device to which it was
connected. If you want to synch it with a new Bluetooth device, go to ‘Settings’ or ‘Phone Settings’ on
your phone and turn off the Bluetooth function of the last connected device and synch with the new
device following Steps 1 through 7 above.
• If the BD 1 is turned on but will not synch to the new device, press the power button twice and
synching should occur. If not, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section

automatically disconnected. They will automatically reconnect once they are again within range.
