Introduction

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.

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.

Response profile

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.2
AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile) Ver. 1.0/1.3/1.4

A2DP is a profile which transmits only audio to the Bluetooth^® unit. If your Bluetooth^® audio device corresponds only to A2DP, but not AVRCP, you cannot operate it using the control panel of the vehicle's audio system. In this case, only the operations on the mobile device are available the same as when a portable audio device for a non-compliant Bluetooth^® device is connected to the AUX terminal.

The battery consumption of Bluetooth^® audio devices increases while Bluetooth^® is connected.
If a general mobile phone device is USB connected during music playback over the Bluetooth^® connection, the Bluetooth^® connection is disconnected. For this reason, you cannot have music playback over a Bluetooth^® connection and music playback using a USB connection at the same time.
If a device which supports AVRCP Ver. 1.6 or higher is connected, song information may not display correctly.
The system may not operate normally depending on the Bluetooth^® audio device.

Troubleshooting for Voice Recognition

If you do not understand an operation method while in the voice recognition mode, say “Tutorial” or “Help”.

Commands useable anytime during voice recognition

“Go Back” and “Cancel” are commands which can be used at anytime during voice recognition.

Returning to previous operation

To return to the previous operation, say, “Go Back” while in voice recognition mode.

Cancel

To put the Bluetooth^® Hands-Free system in standby mode, say, “Cancel” while in voice recognition mode.

To prevent a deterioration in the voice recognition rate and voice quality, the following points should be observed:

The voice recognition cannot be performed while voice guidance or the beep sound is operating. Wait until the voice guidance or the beep sound is finished before saying your commands.
Phone related commands are available only when your phone is connected via Bluetooth^®. Make sure your phone is connected via Bluetooth^® before you operate phone related voice commands.
Music play commands, such as Play Artist and Play Album can be used only in USB audio mode.
Do not speak too slowly or loudly (no loud voice).
Speak clearly, without pausing between words or numbers.
Dialects or different wording other than hands-free prompts cannot be recognised by voice recognition. Speak in the wording specified by the voice commands.

Voice recognition related problems

Symptom	Cause	Solution method
Poor voice recognition	Excessive, slow speech. Excessive, forceful speech (shouting). Speaking before the beep sound has ended. Loud noise (speaking or noise from outside/inside vehicle). Airflow from A/C is blowing against the microphone. Speaking in off-standard expressions (dialect).	Regarding the causes indicated on the left, be careful with how you speak. In addition, when numbers are spoken in a sequence, recognition ability will improve if no stop is placed between the numbers.
False recognition of numbers
Poor voice recognition	There is a malfunction in the microphone.	A poor connection or malfunction with the microphone may have occurred. Consult an expert repairer, we recommend an Authorised Mazda Repairer.
Phone-related voice recognition is disabled	There is a problem with the connection between the Bluetooth^® unit and the device.	If there is any malfunction after checking the pairing situation, check for device pairing or connection problems.
Names in the phonebook are not easily recognised	The Bluetooth^® system is under a condition in which recognition is difficult.	By carrying out the following measures, the rate of recognition will improve. Clear memory from the phonebook which is not used very often. Avoid shortened names, use full names. (Recognition improves the longer the name is. By not using names such as “Mum”, “Dad”, recognition will improve.)
When operating the audio, a song name is not recognised	Song names cannot be recognised by voice.	―
You want to skip guidance	―	Guidance can be skipped by quickly pressing and releasing the talk button.

Regarding problems with calls

Symptom	Cause	Solution method
When starting a call, vehicle noise from the other party can be heard	For about 3 seconds after starting a call, the Bluetooth^® unit's Noise Suppression function requires time to adapt to the call environment.	This does not indicate a problem with the device.
The other party cannot be heard or the speaker's voice is quiet	The volume is set at zero or low.	Increase the volume.

Symptom	Cause	Solution method
The indication for the remaining battery is different between the vehicle and the device	The indication method is different between the vehicle and the device.	―
When a call is made from the vehicle, the telephone number is updated in the incoming/outgoing call record but the name does not appear	The number has not been registered into the phonebook.	If the number has been registered into the phonebook, the incoming/outgoing call record is updated by the name in the phonebook when the engine is restarted.
The cell phone does not synchronize with the vehicle regarding the incoming/outgoing call record	Some types of cell phones do not synchronize automatically.	Operate the cell phone for synchronization.
It takes a long time to complete the function for changing the language	A maximum of 60 seconds is required.	―
