Bluetooth® Hands-Free outline
When a Bluetooth® device (mobile phone) is connected to the vehicle's Bluetooth® unit via radio wave transmission, a call can be made or received by pressing the talk button, pick-up button, or hang-up button on the audio remote control switch, or by operating the centre display. For example, even if a device (mobile phone) is in your coat pocket, a call can be made without taking the device (mobile phone) out and operating it directly.
Bluetooth® audio outline
When a portable audio unit equipped with the Bluetooth® communication function is paired to the vehicle, you can listen to music stored on the paired portable audio device from the vehicle's speakers. It is not necessary to connect the portable audio device to the vehicle's external input terminal. After programming, operate the vehicle audio control panel to play/stop the audio.
For your safety, a device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Park the vehicle in a safe place before pairing.
The communication range of a Bluetooth® equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft) or less.
Basic audio operation is available using voice commands even if Bluetooth® is not connected.
For safety reasons, operation of the centre display is disabled while the vehicle is being driven. However, items not displayed in grey can be operated using the commander switch while the vehicle is being driven.
Some Bluetooth® mobile devices are not compatible with the vehicle. Consult an Authorised Mazda Repairer, Mazda's call centre or Web support centre for information regarding Bluetooth® mobile device compatibility:

Applicable Bluetooth® specification (Recommended)
Ver. 2.0
Microphone (hands-free)
The microphone is used for speaking voice commands or when making a Hands-free call.
Talk button, Pick-Up button and Hang-Up button (hands-free)
The basic functions of Bluetooth® Hands-Free can be used for such things as making calls or hanging up using the talk, pick-up and hang-up buttons on the steering wheel.
Volume adjustment
The power/volume dial of the audio unit is used to adjust the volume. Turn the dial to the right to increase volume, to the left to decrease it.
The volume can also be adjusted using the volume button on the steering wheel.
If the volume is lower compared to other audio modes, increase the volume from the device side.
To use Bluetooth® Hands-Free, the device equipped with Bluetooth® has to be paired to the Bluetooth® unit using the following procedure.
A maximum of seven devices including hands-free mobile phones and Bluetooth® audio devices can be paired to one vehicle.
A device can be paired only when the vehicle is parked. If the vehicle starts to move, the pairing procedure will end. Pairing is dangerous while driving - pair up your device before you start driving. Park the car in a safe place before paired.
If a Bluetooth® device has already been paired to the vehicle as a Bluetooth® audio device, it does not need to be paired again when using the device as a hands-free mobile phone. Conversely, it does not need to be paired again as a Bluetooth® audio device if it has already been paired as a hands-free mobile phone.
Since the communication range of a Bluetooth® equipped device is about 10 meters (32 ft), if a device is placed within a 10-meter (32 ft) radius of the vehicle, it may be detected/paired unintentionally while another device is being paired.
Activate the Bluetooth® application of the device.
For the operation of the device, refer to its instruction manual.
Press the pick-up button or talk button with a short press.
Say: [Beep] “Setup”
Prompt: “Select one of the following: Pairing options, confirmation prompts, language, password, select phone or select music player.”
Say: [Beep] “Pairing options”
Prompt: “Select one of the following: Pair, edit, delete, list, or set pin code.”
Say: [Beep] “Pair”
Prompt: “Start the pairing process on your Bluetooth® device. Your pin code is 0000 (XXXX). Input this on your Bluetooth® device. See device manual for instructions.”
Using the device, perform a search for the Bluetooth® device (Peripheral device).
For the operation of the device, refer to its instruction manual.
Select “Mazda” from the device list searched by the device.
Input the 4-digit pairing code to the device.
Prompt: “Please say the name of the device after the beep.”
Say: [Beep] “XXXX - - -” (Speak a “device tag”, an arbitrary name for the device.)
Example: “Stan's device.”
Say a paired “device tag” within 10 seconds.
If more than two devices are to be paired, they cannot be paired with the same or similar “device tag”.
Prompt: “Adding XXXXXX - - - (Ex. “Stan's device”) (Device tag). Is this correct?”
Say: [Beep] “Yes”
Prompt: “Pairing complete”
After a device is registered, the system automatically identifies the device. By activating Bluetooth® Hands-Free again, or by activating Bluetooth® Hands-Free first after switching the ignition from OFF to ACC, the system reads out a voice guidance, “XXXXXX - - - (Ex. “Stan's device”) (Device tag) is connected”.
When the pairing is completed, the symbol is displayed.
Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a certain amount of time before the symbol is displayed.
Device registration can also be done by operating the audio unit.
Depending on the device, the registration status may be lost after a certain period of time. If this occurs, repeat the entire process from Step 1.
Registered device read-out
Bluetooth® Hands-Free can read-out the devices registered to its system.
Do this function only when parked. It is too distracting to attempt while driving and you may make too many errors to be effective.
Press the pick-up button or talk button with a short press.
Say: [Beep] “Setup”
Prompt: “Select one of the following: Pairing options, confirmation prompts, language, password, select phone or select music player.”
Say: [Beep] “Pairing options”
Prompt: “Select one of the following: Pair, edit, delete, list, or set pin code.”
Say: [Beep] “List”
Prompt: “XXXXX..., XXXXX..., XXXXX... (Ex. Device A, device B, device C)” (The voice guidance reads out the device tags registered to the hands-free system.)
Press the talk button with a short press during the read-out at the desired device, and then say one of the following voice commands to execute it.
“Select phone”: Selects device (Mobile phone) when the talk button is short-pressed.
“Select music player”: Selects device (Music player) when the talk button is short-pressed.
“Edit”: Edits device when the talk button is short-pressed.
“Continue”: Continues the list read-out.
“Delete”: Deletes the registered device when the talk button is short-pressed.
“Previous”: Returns to the previous device in read-out when the talk button is short-pressed.
Prompt: “End of list, would you like to start from the beginning?”
Say: [Beep] “No”
Prompt: “Returning to main menu.”
Any Bluetooth® audio device must be paired to the vehicle's Bluetooth® unit before it can be listened to over the vehicle's speakers.
A maximum of seven devices including Bluetooth® audio devices and hands-free mobile phones can be paired to one vehicle.
If a Bluetooth® device has already been paired to the vehicle as a hands-free mobile phone, it does not need to be paired again when using the device as a Bluetooth® audio device. Conversely, it does not need to be paired again as a hands-free mobile phone if it has already been paired as a Bluetooth® audio device.
Device registration can also be done using voice recognition.
Concerning the operation of a Bluetooth® audio device itself, refer to its instruction manual.
Some Bluetooth® audio devices have PIN codes (four digits). Refer to the audio device's instruction manual because the pairing procedure differs depending on whether it has a PIN code or not.
Pairing a Bluetooth® audio device which has a four-digit PIN code
Using the audio control dial, select the pairing mode “PAIR DEVICE” in the “BT SETUP” mode. (Refer to “Bluetooth® audio device set-up” for details.)
Press the audio control dial to determine the mode.
After “ENTER PIN” is displayed on the audio display for three seconds, “PIN 0000” is displayed and the PIN code can be input.
Input the PIN code of your Bluetooth® audio device by pressing channel preset buttons 1 to 4 while “PIN 0000” is displayed.
Press channel preset button 1 to input the first digit, 2 for the second, 3 for the third, and 4 for the forth. For example, if the PIN code were “4213”, press channel preset button 1 four times (1, 2, 3, 4), button 2 twice (1, 2), button 3 once (1), and button 4 three times (1, 2, 3). If the “PIN 0000” display disappears before finishing the PIN code input, repeat the procedure from Step 1.
Some devices accept only a particular pairing code (Usually, “0000” or “1234”).
If pairing cannot be completed, refer to the owner's manual of your mobile device, and try those numbers if necessary.
Press the audio control dial while the input PIN code is displayed.
“PAIRING” flashes on the display.
Operate the Bluetooth® audio device and set it to the pairing mode while “PAIRING” is flashing.
When the pairing is completed, “” and “PAIR SUCCESS” are displayed after about 10-30 seconds, after which “PAIR SUCCESS” continues to be displayed for three seconds, and then the unit returns to the normal display.
Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a certain amount of time before the “” symbol is displayed.
If the pairing failed, “Err” flashes for three seconds.
Pairing cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving. If you attempt to perform pairing while the vehicle is moving, “PAIR DISABLE” is displayed.
If seven Bluetooth® audio devices have already been paired to the vehicle, pairing cannot be performed and “MEMORY FULL” is displayed. Delete one paired device to pair another one.
Pairing a Bluetooth® audio device which does not have a four-digit PIN code
Using the audio control dial, select the pairing mode “PAIR DEVICE” in the “BT SETUP” mode. (Refer to “Bluetooth® audio set up” for details.)
Press the audio control dial to determine the mode. After “ENTER PIN” is displayed on the audio display for three seconds, “PIN 0000” is displayed and the PIN code can be input.
Press the audio control dial while “PIN 0000” is displayed.
“PAIRING” flashes on the audio display.
Operate the Bluetooth® audio device and set it to the pairing mode while “PAIRING” is flashing.
As the Bluetooth® audio device requires a PIN code, input “0000”.
When the pairing is completed, “” and “PAIR SUCCESS” are displayed after about 10-30 seconds, after which “PAIR SUCCESS” continues to be displayed for three seconds, and then the unit returns to the normal display.
If pairing cannot be completed, try “1234” instead. Refer to the owner's manual of your mobile device for the right PIN code.
Some Bluetooth® audio devices need a certain amount of time before the “” symbol is displayed.
If the pairing failed, “Err” flashes for three seconds.
Pairing cannot be performed while the vehicle is moving. If you attempt to perform pairing while the vehicle is moving, “PAIR DISABLE” is displayed.
If seven Bluetooth® audio devices have already been paired to the vehicle, pairing cannot be performed and “MEMORY FULL” is displayed. Delete one paired device to pair another one.
The available languages are English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch, and Portuguese. If the language setting is changed, all of the voice guidance and voice input commands are done in the selected language.
If the language setting is changed, device registration is maintained.
Phonebook records are not cleared, but each language has a separate phonebook. Therefore, entries created in one language will need to be re-entered in the phonebook of the new language.
Do these steps before you start driving. These less used functions are too distracting to undertake while driving until you are fully familiar with the system.
(Method 1)
Press the pick-up button or talk button with a short press.
Say: [Beep] “Setup”
Prompt: “Select one of the following: Pairing options, confirmation prompts, language, password, select phone or select music player.”

Say: [Beep] “French” (Speak the desired language: “English”, “French”, “Spanish”, “Italian”, “German”, “Dutch”, or “Portuguese”)
Other language settings can also be made while in the current setting by saying the name of the language in the native pronunciation.
Prompt: “French (Desired language) selected. Is this correct?”
Say: [Beep] “Yes”
Prompt: “Please wait. Switching to French phonebook. French selected.” (Spoken in the newly selected language).
(Method 2)
Press the pick-up button or talk button with a short press.
Say: [Beep] “French” (Say the desired language: “English”, “French”, “Spanish”, “Italian”, “German”, “Dutch”, or “Portuguese”). (Change the desired language by saying the language name.)
Other language settings can also be made while in the current setting by saying the name of the language in the native pronunciation.
Prompt: “Would you like to change the language to French (Desired language)?”
Say: [Beep] “Yes”
Prompt: “Please wait. Switching to French phonebook. French selected.” (Spoken in the newly selected language).
The voice recognition learning function enables voice recognition appropriate to the characteristics of the user's voice. If the recognition of the voice input commands to the system is not adequate, this function can largely improve the system's voice recognition of the user. If your voice can be recognised sufficiently without using this function, you may not realize the added benefit of the function. To register your voice, the voice input command list must be read out. Read out the list when the vehicle is parked. Perform the registration in as quiet a place as possible (Search). The registration must be performed completely. The required time is a few minutes. The user needs to be seated in the driver's seat with the voice input command list for voice recognition learning visible.
