Compatibility
You can use your Bluetooth-
capable phone hands-free in
Model X provided your
phone is within operating
range. Although Bluetooth
typically supports wireless
communication over
distances of up to
approximately 30 feet
(nine meters), performance
can vary based on the
phone you are using.
Before using your phone with Model X, you
must pair it. Pairing sets up Model X to work
with your Bluetooth-capable phone (see
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on page 177
).

you to use the phone hands-free, play media
from it, etc. You must also pair it as described
below.
You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones.
Unless you've specified a specific phone as a
Priority Device
or if the phone specified as
Priority Device
is not within range, Model X
always connects to the last phone that was
used (provided it is within range). To connect
to a different phone, see

NOTE:
On many phones, Bluetooth turns off if
the phone’s battery is low.
NOTE:
In addition to phones, you can pair
other Bluetooth-enabled devices with
Model X. For example, you can pair an
iPod Touch, an iPad, an Android tablet, etc.
from which you can play music.
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
Pairing allows you to use your Bluetooth-
capable phone hands-free to make and
receive phone calls, access your contact list,
recent calls, etc. It also allows you to play
media files from your phone. Once a phone is
paired, Model X can connect to it whenever
the phone is within range.
To pair a phone, follow these steps while
sitting inside Model X:
1. Ensure both the touchscreen and the
phone are powered on.
2. On your phone, enable Bluetooth and
ensure it is discoverable.
NOTE:
On some phones, this may require
you to go to Bluetooth Settings for the
remainder of the procedure.
3. Touch the Bluetooth icon located at the
top of the
Controls
screen.
4. On the touchscreen, touch
Add New
Device
>
Start Search
. A list of all
available Bluetooth devices within
operating distance displays on the
Bluetooth settings screen.
5. Choose the phone with which you want to
pair. Within a few seconds, the Bluetooth
settings screen displays a randomly
generated number. Your phone also
display a number.
6. Check that the number displayed on your
phone matches the number on the
Bluetooths settings screen. Then, on your
phone, confirm that you want to pair.
7. If prompted on your phone, specify
whether you want to allow Model X to
access your personal information, such as
calendar, contacts and media files.
When paired, Model X automatically connects
to the phone, and the Bluetooth settings
screen displays the Bluetooth symbol next to
the phone’s name to indicate that the
connection is active.
You can display the Bluetooth settings screen
at any time and change the settings
associated with a connected device. For
example, you can designate a connected
phone as the
Priority Device
. This is useful in
situations where you have connected more
than one phone, and both phones are
frequently used in Model X at the same time.
Model X automatically attempts to connect to
the priority device before others. If a priority
device is not specified, or is not within range,
Model X connects to the most recently used
phone (if applicable).
