Introduction
The Commute is a true handsfree voice controlled Bluetooth car speakerphone.
There is no need to take your hands off the wheel or your eyes off the road to use the Commute.
Simply say the trigger phrase BlueAnt Speak To Me™ and the Commute will be ready for your voice commands.
Or say the trigger phrase Launch Voice Control to go directly to Siri, Google Voice Actions or your phone’s voice dialing feature (if available).
You can make outgoing calls and answer incoming calls using just your voice, and you will always know who is calling you without looking at your phone because the Commute will read out the caller’s name or number.

Charge your Commute
Your Commute has been given an initial partial charge to get started, but for best results we recommend you charge it using the supplied USB cable and adaptor:
> You should charge the Commute whenever it announces that
the battery is Very Low.
> A full charge takes about 3 - 4 hours. > During charging, the
battery indicator light turns red.
> When the light goes
out, the charge is complete.
> The Commute features
an iPhone battery meter so you can check your battery status at a glance.

Tip: If you pick the wrong language by mistake, turn the
Commute off and back on again without pairing your phone and reselect the correct language when prompted.
3. The voice prompts will start to talk you through the pairing process and the light will fl ash blue.
For subsequent pairings, say BlueAnt Speak To Me, wait for the Commute to ask you to Say A Command and then say

symbol to select.

Transfer your Phonebook
Once the pairing is complete the Commute will attempt to transfer the contacts from your phone so that it can announce the names of incoming callers.
Note: If your phone prompts you to allow a connection to the
Commute, you must select “YES” or “OK”. Some phones do not support automatic phonebook transfers. If
the Commute announces that this is the case, you need to go to your phone’s address book and send contacts via Bluetooth.
See “Phonebook Troubleshooting” on page 21 or
www.blueantwireless.com for help.

Using the Handsfree Triggers
The Commute is designed to be a true handsfree device. There is no need to press a button to start using the Commute.
Just say one of the handsfree trigger phrases:
> Say BlueAnt Speak To Me to activate the Commute’s voice
control menu and use one of the commands listed in the next section.
> Say Launch Voice Control to activate Siri, Google Voice
Actions or your phone’s voice dial feature (if available). When you do this you will be using your phone’s voice recognition
software, so check your phone manual to fi nd the available
commands.
Note: The handsfree triggers only work when the green
handsfree trigger indicator light on the front of the device is on. This tells you that the Commute is listening for your voice.

Using 2 Phones (Multipoint)
Up to 2 devices can connect to the Commute at the same time. If either phone rings, you can answer it with the Commute.
Use the Pair Me command to put your Commute back into pairing mode to pair another phone. Any currently connected phone will be disconnected during pairing, so you will need to reconnect afterwards.
Which Phone is Used for Calls?
When you have two phones connected you can always answer an incoming call on either phone.
If you initiate a call through the Commute (for example by saying Launch Voice Control) then the call takes place on the primary phone: the one that connected to the Commute fi rst.

same phone (although you can have conference calls running on both phones at the same time).

Manually Transferring your Phonebook Contacts
Some phones do not support automatic phonebook transfers: if this is the case on your phone then the Commute will instruct you to start sending contacts to the Commute manually. To do this:
1. Wait to be prompted to start sending contacts to the Commute.
2. Go to your phonebook and select the contacts you want
22
to send to the Commute. Choose the option to “Mark All” or “Select All” if this is available on your phone (if this is not available, you will need to transfer each contact individually).
3. Select the option on your phone to “send” or “beam” contacts, business cards, or v-cards via Bluetooth, and select the Commute from the list of Bluetooth devices. See your phone’s manual for help with this step.
Note: some phones do not support phonebook transfers at
all. If this is the case, the Commute will read out the caller’s number instead (providing your phone and carrier support caller ID).
Updating your Phonebook Contacts
If you add or change entries in your phonebook then you must update the contacts on your Commute by doing the following.
1. Say BlueAnt Speak To Me, and wait for the Commute to ask you to Say A Command.
2. Say Update Phonebook.
3. The Commute will attempt to transfer your phonebook automatically. If this is not possible on your phone then you
23
will be prompted to upload the contacts manually.
Reconnecting to the Commute
To save battery, the Commute goes into “sleep mode” when you are not using it.
If you take your phone out of range of the Commute for more than 2 minutes, the handsfree trigger switches off and “sleep mode” is activated.
When you come back, you must double tap the reconnect your phone and reactivate the trigger.
Alternatively, use the power switch to turn the Commute off when you get out of the car and then turn it back on again when you come back. The Commute will then automatically reconnect to your phone.
