GETTING STARTED

The mr Handsfree Blue Vision II is compatible with most Bluetooth ^® mobile phones.

Since devices with Bluetooth® technology communicate through radio waves, your carkit and your mobile phone do not need to be in direct line-of-sight. The 2 devices only need to be within a maximum of 10 meters of each other, so you do not need to take your phone out of your pocket or bag to make and receive calls via the carkit.

Since Bluetooth® phones produced by different manufacturers provide various functionalities; some functions described in this user's manual could be different or may not be available.

ACTIVATING THE REMOTE CONTROL

Open the battery cover (25) and take out the insulation film (23). → Install the battery (24) with observance of polarity. → Close the battery cover (25). Now the remote control is ready to use.

Important!

The remote control and the carkit are connected via an infrared channel. Please make sure that the infrared transmitter (26) and the receiver (12) are directed towards each other during operation.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

The mr Handsfree Blue Vision II comes with a Lithium-Polymer rechargeable battery. The battery is charged preliminary, but nevertheless we recommend charging it before using the carkit for the first time.

Plug the adapter jack into the charging socket (9) and the cigarette plug into the cigarette lighter. → The battery status indicator (11) will light red or green when the charging process begins. → If the indicator (11) lights red, the carkit should be charged until the indicator (11) will light green. → Unplug the vehicle charger from the carkit.

Note:

• You can use the Blue Vision II during the charging process.
• The Blue Vision II is compatible with Nokia mobile phone travel chargers. So you can use them to charge the Blue Vision II at home.

TURNING THE CARKIT ON/OFF

To turn on the carkit, press and hold the Power button (4) for 5 seconds until the battery status indicator (11) will light green and you will hear a melody tone. → The battery status indicator (11) will start to flash. → To turn off the carkit, press and hold the Power button (4) until you will hear a melody tone and the battery status indicator (11) will turn off.

INSTALLATION

MAIN UNIT

On the sun visor: Fix the main unit on the sun visor using the special clip (c) and direct the microphone beam (8) to your mouth. This is the main working position of the microphone beam: the microphone beam should be rotated from the main unit and its end should be directed to your mouth.

On the dashboard: Fix the main unit on the dashboard using the double-sided tape and the metal flat clip for dashboard fixation (d).

For optimum performance, the microphone should be located at distance of 30-50 cm from the drivers' mouth.

Note:

We advise not to change the microphone position during the activated call, since an echo effect could appear. If you follow this advice, you will have a comfortable duplex communication mode of your phone conversation.

REMOTE CONTROL

To fix the remote control on the dashboard, you should remove the memo card (21) from the backside of the remote control. After this card has been removed, you can fix the remote control on the dashboard using Velcro (6). Make sure that the remote control infrared transmitter (26) is directed towards the infrared receiver (12) of the main unit and both units are in line of sight of each other.

PAIRING

You are required to pair the Blue Vision II with your mobile phone before using it.

Your Blue Vision II can store pairing information for up to 2 different Bluetooth ^® telephones. When an attempt to pair more than 2 devices is made, the oldest paired device is removed from the memory.

When any of the paired devices is in the range of 10 meters and the Blue Vision II is turned on, the Blue Vision II will automatically initiate a connection with the last mobile phone it was connected to. In case this phone is not available, the Blue Vision II will automatically search for the second paired phone for connection. The Blue Vision II can have one active connection.

Make sure that your phone and the carkit are switched on. → Press and hold the Pairing button (7) for 5 seconds until you hear a melody tone and the indicator (11) flashes by green and red colors alternately. The pairing mode is now activated for two minutes (during these 2 minutes, the indicator (11) will keep on flashing). → Enter your phone's Bluetooth® menu and make sure that the Bluetooth® feature is activated. → Enter the submenu where you can set the phone to search for Bluetooth® devices and start the search. → The phone will search all Bluetooth® devices within 10 meters and display them as a list. → Select Blue Vision II from the list. → Enter the passkey "0000" to pair and connect the Blue Vision II to your phone. → The indicator (11) will stop blinking and "Blue Vision II" appears in the phone menu where you can see the Bluetooth® devices that are currently paired with your phone.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The Blue Vision II is a product of superior design and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and to enjoy this product for many years.

• Keep the carkit dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moistures can contain minerals that will corrode the electronic circuitry.
• Do not use or store the carkit in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices and warp or melt certain plastics.
• Do not store the carkit in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside, which may damage the electronic circuitry boards.
• Do not attempt to open the carkit. Non-expert handling may damage it.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents to clean the device.

If the device is not working properly, take it to your nearest qualified service facility. The personnel there will assist you and, if necessary, arrange for service.
