WHAT IS BLUETOOTH?
Bluetooth is an international standard that
allows electronic components to
communicate with each other, using a
short-range radio link. Bluetooth
eliminates the need for wires or cables:
typically, devices can communicate at a
range of up to 10 metres (33 feet).
The Bluetooth in-car telephone system
allows certain mobile phones to be used
hands free in your vehicle: there is no
need to connect the mobile phone to a
cradle or cable.
Bluetooth is a registered trademark of
Bluetooth SIG, Inc.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The vehicle’s Bluetooth telephone system
can be used with an appropriate,
Bluetooth-equipped mobile phone.
The mobile phone must be paired with the
vehicle system before use. See
page 21 for more information.
Once paired, the mobile phone can be
operated via the steering wheel switches
or the keypad and phone buttons on the
audio panel or touch-screen. The mobile
phone doesn’t need to be physically
connected to the vehicle: it can be left in
a jacket pocket, for instance. Calls are
routed through the vehicle’s audio
speakers, and a dedicated microphone is
fitted to the roof lining, near the driver’s
head.
You can use the system to answer or
reject incoming calls, make outgoing calls
or alter the call volume. The system does
not support SMS text messages.
Note: The vehicle ignition must be set to
position I or II in order to use the phone.
Call volume
The volume of telephone calls can be
adjusted for hands-free phone operation.
To adjust the volume, operate the audio
system’s ON/OFF volume control during
a phone call.
If the audio system is in use when the
phone becomes active, the audio system
source is suppressed for the duration of
the call.
The Jaguar telephone system is designed
to function with a wide variety of
Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones. The
audio and echo characteristics vary
between models of mobile phones: as a
result, it may take a few seconds for the
vehicle system to adapt to provide
optimal audio performance.
In order to achieve the best possible
audio performance, it may be necessary
to reduce the system volume slightly
when using certain mobile phones.
Audio panel display
Phone related messages are shown on
the audio panel display or touch-screen
(where fitted) when the phone system is
active.
