2. Installation

This section demonstrates how to set up and install the BT­390 into a vehicle.
n Installing the Junction Box
The Car Kit is designed to work with the 12/ 24-volt power supply of the vehicle. Refer to the following to install the junction box in a vehicle.
1. Locate a suitable place inside the car to mount the junction box. Select a dry place that avoids excessive heat and mechanical vibration. Ideally, the junction box should be hidden from view, but still easily accessible.
Note:
Make sure that the cables are long enough to support the location of the junction box. If the cables are not long enough, do not lengthen the cables. Instead, relocate the
junction box.
2. Use two screws (not included) to fasten the junction box in place.

2. Installation
o Connecting the Power Supply (For Options 1 and 2 only)
The following illustration demonstrates how to connect the Car Kit’s power cables to the vehicle’s electrical system.
Important:
The blue cable must be connected to the 12/ 24V switched to enable the Car Kit to go into standby mode.
Do not connect the blue cable to the +12/ 24V constant. Doing so may discharge the battery of the vehicle and prevent the Car Kit from being reset.

Connecting to the Mobile Phone for the First Time

As soon as the ignition is turned on “BT-390” text will be displayed on the backlit screen and it will quickly enter the “Pairing” mode searching for available Bluetooth mobile phones for pairing up. If the pairing screen does not display automatically, turn on this function manually (See Connection Settings on page 18).
Switch on mobile phone’s Bluetooth connection and conduct a search for a new Bluetooth audio device. When you see BT-390’s name appearing on the mobile phone screen please select this item to pair and enter 1234 when prompted by the password request. This will allow BT-390’s device name to reside in your mobile phone memory, listed along with other previously paired devices in the handset.
You may need to press the connect command on the phone to establish the connection with BT-390 after pairing and the mobile phone name should appear on the main screen.

3. Operation
There are a number of ways to upload your phonebook to the BT-390, if your mobile phone supports automatic phonebook synchronization (for example, Nokia 6230i), it will upload call history, phone book entries, and sort the phone book as soon as the phone is connected with the car kit.
Note:
Phonebook synchronization and sorting time may differ depending on size of phonebook list and also the phone’s transfer speed. This may also affect the initial remote
control response at start up.
In the event that you do not wish to upload automatically, you can disable this function and upload the phonebook manually. To setup manual phonebook upload, please follow the steps below:
See Other Settings on page 22 for more information.
Note:
Phone Book Sync default setting is enabled.
To force sync the contacts manually from both phone memory and the SIM card, please follow the steps below:
Settings Phone Book Sync Enable/Disable

Note:
Contacts are picked up in random order by the car kit; therefore, BT-390 will perform the sorting function in the background after the sync. If you access the phonebook before the sorting is completed, you may see that some contacts are not displayed in right order. This is normal for the first time sync and please waits until the sorting process is completed before accessing the phonebook.
However, if your phone does not support automatic phonebook synchronization (which also means you cannot use the Sync Phone Book function) you will need to send the required entries manually from the mobile phone to the car kit under the Object Push Profile (OPP) mode via Bluetooth (also known as Sending Business Card via Bluetooth function). To use the OPP mode for uploading contacts please use the following steps:

Access your phonebook now and go to the required contact entry. Choose option on your phone screen and select send via Bluetooth to transfer the contact to car kit (Command may vary on different handset please consult the phone manual). BT-390’s

screen will display the contact received. Repeat the process for other entries if necessary. Once you have finished, press the Reject/End button to stop OPP mode and re­establish the Bluetooth link with your mobile phone.
Note:
Some phones support sending multiple contacts in one operation under the OPP mode (such as Mark all function in Nokia). It is recommended that no more than one hundred selections be sent at a time.

Phonebook Functions 2 – Search for a Name to Call

After the phonebook is uploaded contacts will reside in the car kit’s memory. You can search these entries to call by going through the A-Z index and selecting a character to look up a particular name that starts with the alphabet. For instance, choose E and it will list the names starting with E (Erica for this instance). To go to a desired phonebook entry, scroll up/down the alphabetical list and select a letter entry.
Go to the desired contact and press Answer/Call to dial out.
