Correct Usage

The Bluetooth®Vehicle Hands-Free Phone System KH 2355 is de­signed for use in vehicles with a voltage of 12-24 V. The hands­free phone system uses both Bluetooth radio technology as
well as a digital signal processor (DSP) to carry out telephone
functions.

Introduction

Bluetooth is a wireless communication system with a short range.
It makes possible wireless connections between Bluetooth app­liances, such as for example mobile telephones, PDA and PCs.
Bluetooth relates itself to a worldwide standard for operation in
the internationally recognised ISM Frequency Range (Industrial,
Scientific and Medical). Within the ISM Frequency Range (2,402 ­2,480 GHz), a data transfer range of ca. 10 Meters (Klasse II) is
achieved. The disturbance susceptibility through other users of
the ISM Frequency Range, such as for example microwaves, WLAN
(802.116) or garage door openers, is minimised by so-called
„Frequency-Hopping“. With Frequency-Hopping, a change of
frequency levels takes place at up to 1600 times per second,
thereby Bluetooth is also reckoned to be relatively tap-proof.

Installing the hands-free appliance in a vehicle

So that the hands-free appliance can function correctly, it is con­nected to the vehicle cigar lighter socket and provided with
electricity from there.

• Ensure that the hands-free appliance engages completely
and that the operation of the vehicle is not negatively in­fluenced. The LED status display

y blinks every 3 seconds.

The appliance is in standby mode.

 Note:

It is possible that the cigar lighter only functions when the vehicle
ignition is switched on. In cases of doubt, consult the operating in­structions for the particular vehicle.

 CAUTION:

For vehicles in which the cigar lighter, resp. the vehicle circuit plug,
also functions when the ignition is switched off:

• Use the hands-free appliance only when the motor is running.

Otherwise, the vehicle batteries could become discharged over
an extended period of time.

• Programme the mobile telephone so that it searches for

Bluetooth appliances. A detailed description of how to do
this is to be found in the operating instructions for your
mobile telephone.

• Ensure that the hands-free appliance is correctly set up and

switched off.

• Position the hands-free appliance and the mobile telephone so

that they are not more than 1 metre away from each other.

• Press and hold the multi-function button

r for 6 seconds, until

a longer signal tone is heard. The LED status display

y glows

constantly.
The hands-free appliance is now in the coupling mode.

• Select the hands-free provision „Car Kit“ from the list of

available appliances for the mobile telephone.

• Enter in the pre-programmed pass code „9999“ and then

confirm it, which couples the appliances with each other.

 Note:

If the coupling is not completed within 2 minutes, the hands-free
appliance switches itself off. The LED status display

y extinguishes

and you will hear a longer signal tone.

Coupling the hands-free appliance with several mobile
telephones

You can couple the hands-free appliance with up to eight mobile
telephones. However, it can only be connected with one mobile
telephone. If a further mobile telephone is coupled with the hands­free appliance, the coupling information of the first coupled mobile
telephone is erased.
When the hands-free appliance is switched on, within a few seconds
it tries to create a connection with the standard or the last used
mobile telephone. Should no connection be possible, the hands­free appliance remains nonetheless recognisable for other mobile
telephones. To use the hands-free appliance with a coupled mobile
telephone which is not the standard or the last used mobile tele­phone, a connection must be made over the Bluetooth menu of
the mobile telephone.
