Device pairing (Bluetooth® Hands-Free)

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.

  10. Select “Mazda” from the device list searched by the device.

  11. Input the 4-digit pairing code to the device.

  12. Prompt: “Please say the name of the device after the beep.”

  13. 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”.

  14. Prompt: “Adding XXXXXX - - - (Ex. “Stan's device”) (Device tag). Is this correct?”

  15. Say: [Beep] “Yes”

  16. 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.
