• Make sure the unit is clean and free of dust or grease before placing the Velcro part on the unit.

• For optimal performance, the microphone should be located at a maximum distance of 50 cm from the driver’s mouth. If possible, the microphone of the Blue Switch needs to be pointing directly to the driver’s mouth. HANDSFREE UNIT Search for a location in your car where the handsfree unit fi ts and where it is comfortable for use.

• Make sure that the location in your car where you would like to install your handsfree unit is free from dust and dirt.

• We recommend mounting the handsfree unit at a less visible position in the car. However, make sure that the unit can provide good acoustic, by having at least 50 cm distance between the speaker and the headset / carkit.

• Make sure the speaker is not pointing towards the headset / carkit. The handsfree unit can be fi xed in 2 ways:

1. Under the dashboard or at any other place in the car using the installation screws.

2. Under the dashboard or at any other place in the car using the double-sided tape.

There are 4 ways of connecting the Blue Switch to the car’s electronic system:

1. Blue Switch Plug & Play: For easy installation

(Optional) Connect the adapter for the cigarette lighter to the car and the other end of the cable to the handsfree unit.

2. Blue Switch Quick Installation: Immediately to the car’s electronic system via the small mute cable

(Optional). The wires of the small mute cable are color-coded. They are listed in Table 1 in column A and each wire should be connected to the corresponding item listed in column B. Table 1

• To avoid distortions, make sure that the cables are laid far away from the electronic systems of the car.

• Connect the wires with the contact clips. Put the car wire in the through groove of the clips and the cable wire in the groove with the confi ning rib. Attention! If there is no “Ignition” wire or if it is unavailable, you should connect the blue cable wire to the red wire of the handsfree unit and the red cable wire to the “Continuous” wire of the car which keeps the voltage when the ignition is turned off. In this case, the phone call will not be disconnected if the ignition is turned off.
