Before using the Hands-Free Phone System NOTE • Depending on the type of cell phone that is used, the screen illumination of the cell phone remains on while the ignition switch is in the "ON" position. If this occurs, turn the illumination off by operating the cell phone settings. For cell phone setting information, refer to the cell phone owner's manual. • Depending on the setting of the cell phone, the dial lock may activate after connection. Deactivate the dial lock of the cell phone before use. • Depending on the cell phone to be connected, operation and the sound volume may be different from those of cell phones currently used. • When the ignition switch is turned to the "OFF" or "LOCK" position during a call, the call may be disconnected or continued on the cell phone depending on the type of cell phone that is used. Note that operation of the cell phone may be necessary if the call is continued on the cell phone. • Do not speak at the same time with the other party during a call. If you and the party speak at the same time, your voice may be difficult to be heard by the party and vice versa. This does not indicate that there is a malfunction. • The receiver sound volume should be set as low as possible. Otherwise, the party you are calling may notice an undesirable echo sound. Speak clearly and loudly. • Your voice may be difficult to be heard by the party under the following conditions. -Driving on a rough road. -Driving on an expressway. -Driving with a window open. -Air from the ventilator blows directly towards the microphone. -The sound coming from the fan of the heater/cooler is loud. -The cell phone is too close to the microphone. • The sound quality may be degraded and noise or an echo will occur due to the influence of the cell phone that is connected to the system or the circumstances of the Bluetooth network. • When another Bluetooth device (such as a portable audio device) is simultaneously connected, noise may occur in the voice from the hands-free phone. 234 Hands-Free Phone System
