Using Hands-free calling with another
Bluetooth
mobile phone while
listening to music
This system is compatible with Multipoint technology, which
allows you to enjoy hands-free calling while listening to music
from a
Bluetooth
-compatible music player.
One touch connection (NFC) cannot be used in this
procedure.
Operations may vary depending on the
Bluetooth
device.
This type of
Bluetooth
connection may not be established
depending on the combination of the
Bluetooth
devices.
Refer also to the operating instructions supplied with your
Bluetooth
devices.

Make the
Bluetooth
connections between the
system and a
Bluetooth
music player via
A2DP, and between the system and a
Bluetooth
mobile phone via HFP or HSP.
For details on the
Bluetooth
connection procedure, see
“How to Make Wireless Connection with
Bluetooth
Devices.” When the
Bluetooth
connection is established,
the

Tips
To use only the calling function of a
Bluetooth
mobile phone
that also has a music function, establish
Bluetooth
connection between the system and the mobile phone via
HFP or HSP, not via A2DP.
Depending on the
Bluetooth
mobile phone, while the
Bluetooth
connection is established via HFP or HSP, the
other
Bluetooth
connection via A2DP may also be occupied
by the same
Bluetooth
mobile phone. A
Bluetooth
music
player cannot be connected with this system in this case.
