Mounting the External Microphone

Reducing the distance between the vehicle operator’s mouth and the microphone will generally result in better sound quality. Make sure the microphone is mounted pointing towards the vehicle operator’s mouth.

Ensure that there is as much distance between the Microphone and Speaker as possible making sure that they are not pointed at or facing each other.
Pairing
Bluetooth Passkey

Pairing prevents the use of an unauthorized Bluetooth device with your CIRCLE Car Kit. A Bluetooth Passkey (or PIN) is used to Pair the CIRCLE Car Kit with another Bluetooth device and create a secure relationship between them.
Each Car Kit has a default Passkey [0000], which is stored in its internal memory. Whether you need to input the pass-key during pairing depends on the kind of Bluetooth phone that your CIRCLE Car Kit will be connected to.
If you plan to use your CIRCLE Car Kit with a Bluetooth mobile phone or other device with built-in Bluetooth capability, you will probably be required to enter the CIRCLE Car Kit Passkey on that device during pairing.
