Chapter 1: Introduction
This chapter highlights the main features of
VControl Bluetooth phone control system, defines
terms and conditions that are important to
understand when using the system, and provides
general tips, etc.
The following terms are used extensively
throughout this manual:
• Main Menu The primary control functions of the
VControl
• Control Pad The primary
interface module for call
activation/deactivation,
volume, mute, switch
• Bluetooth
wireless radio frequency (~2.4 – 2.5 GHz) with
a range of ~10 meters – for either analog or
refers to a
3
digital transmission
• Dialog
Voice Interaction with the VControl
TIPS ON FORMATS IN THIS MANUAL
The format that is used throughout the manual is
meant to help differentiate between what VControl
says and what you can/need to say:
When VControl is the speaker:
• Text appears as a normal sentence in italic
followed by a prompt character “>”, indicating
that the unit is waiting for your response. For
example, the unit might say “Ready, say Call,
Dial, Phonebook, or Setup>”
4
When you are the speaker:
• Spoken-word commands or responses appear as
uppercase first letter and in bold (for example,
Dial).
• Digit responses appear as individual numbers
with a dash between digits (for example, 1-8-0-
0)
• Commands or responses that have multiple
words appear as uppercase words with a dash
between words (for example, JOHN-SMITHHOME). This indicates that the words should
be spoken without pausing between words.
MODES OF OPERATION
VControl is designed for use in automotive
environments. You control the unit through a
“single” touch tactile control pad, and through voice
commands you control the desired functionality.
The unit prompts you with an easy-to-follow
dialogue and recognizes a variety of accents, but
also performs exceptionally well in an environment
with typical background noise (air conditioning,
road and engine noise, etc.).
SPEECH AND TONES
VControl communicates in two (2) ways:
• Human Voice
The system says names, prompts, locations,
and numbers in a high-quality human voice.
• Beeps
VCONTROL™™ augments its speech with
a single beep through the dialogue, the
meaning of which is dependent upon
context. In most cases the beep is to signify
that the system has concluded it’s prompt
and is waiting for a command.
SYMBOLS
Please note the following symbols/conventions that
are intended to enhance the readability of the User’s
Guide.
Î When the activation symbol is displayed,
please press the corresponding key on the control
pad.

PHONE PAIRING – the first step in using the kit is
to register your Bluetooth™ enabled phone with the
VControl. This process usually called “pairing” or
“registration” allows your phone to communicate
with the hands-free system and ensures that other
phones cannot inadvertently do so.
Please follow the steps below to complete this
process:
• Turn on your cellular telephone and ensure
that it is Bluetooth-enabled and supports
Hands-free profile.
• Turn on your vehicle ignition and after a few
seconds, the Power LED on the control pad
should light briefly and then go out
[signifies the system is active and ready to
use]. This will take a few seconds.
• You now need to enter the set-up mode to
register your phone; however, it is
recommended that you follow the directions
for your particular phone and turn the
Bluetooth Power “On”.

following: Pair or Delete the current phone”
<Beep>
Pair a Phone Î “Please pair phone as
mentioned in phone manual” <Beep>
[Pair phone: Kit will remain silent for up to 2
minutes]
• The kit will wait for approximately 2
minutes to have a Bluetooth™ enabled
phone paired with it. During this time the
LED will be flashing.
•
Once the phone has found the kit, it will
display a prompt on the phone. It should
display a message (on the phone) that is has
located “Peiker HF”. The kit will remain
silent. Continue to follow the phone’s
pairing procedure until it asks you to enter a
password. Enter “0000” on the phone’s
keypad and select the yes/dial key on the
phone. The phone will then complete the
pairing process and should hear a prompt
from the kit saying “pairing completed”
•
You have now completed the registration
process and the kit is ready to be used. The
LED on the Control Pad will remain on
(green).
•
You only need to “Pair” your phone the first
time you wish to use the kit. With all
subsequent uses, the phone will
automatically connect to the kit.
•
You can pair up to 5 (five) phones with the
Bluetooth™ kit. Only one phone will be
active (i.e. able to use the hands-free
system) for calls at any one time.. The last
connected phone will always have the
highest priority when the unit tries to
connect with a phone. If the last connected
phone is not available, then the kit will look
13
for other phones stored in its memory (other
phones that have been previously paired), in
order of the original pairing process. If you
pair a sixth phone, then the phone that was
first paired will be removed from the
memory of the kit.
BASIC OPERATIONS
After completing the registration process, your
Bluetooth™ car kit is ready for everyday use. The
kit should operate properly each time you enter your
vehicle, provided the initial requirements as defined
below have occurred.
Initial Requirements
• Ignition Switched On Î Your vehicle
ignition must be switched on and the power
LED on the kit constantly on. It takes
approximately 3 to 5 seconds after turning
on your ignition for the kit to become active.
14
• Bluetooth™ in phone is Active Î The
Bluetooth communication mode (sometimes
referred to as connection) must be activated
(turned “On”) in your cellular phone.
• Phone Distance Î The hands-free kit will
operate with the phone up to approx. 30 feet.
The quality of the audio signal will
deteriorate as the phone is moved further
away from the vehicle. The phone does not
need to be in the open (i.e. it can be in your
pocket, purse or briefcase) to operate but it
should not be blocked by metal (i.e. placed
in the trunk).
• After the system becomes active (ignition is
turned on), you will likely see an indicator
on your phone (either a message is displayed
or an icon is activated) when the kit
connects through the Bluetooth link to your
phone – this process will take approx. 15 to
30 seconds. At this time the unit is fully
operational. Also, the green LED on the
Control Pad will either remain illuminated
or blink when it is actively paired to a
Bluetooth™ phone.
The Control Pad
The Control pad is your primary control interface
with the VControl™, it activates initial operation of
the system and provides access to all of the
available features.
The basic functions of the control pad are defined
below:
1. Switch
2. Volume Up
3. Green LED
4. Call Activation, Answer and Hang-up

When your call is complete, simply press the
and the call will be terminated. The system will
produce a “Phone Call Ended” prompt.
[Note: Verizon customers may have to press the call
end button on the phone due to Verizon’s current
data services implementation (December 5, 2004) –
Verizon is aware of this problem and may announce
a solution over the next several weeks]
If you do nothing, and the other party has
disconnected, the system will terminate. The same
“Phone Call Ended” prompt will be heard. Note
that this can take up to 2 minutes, depending on the
cellular carrier.

Placing a Call – from the “Ready” Prompt
Dial Function
The DIAL function is used to dial a phone number
by providing the kit with a series of digits. You can
enter the number as either a complete string of 7, 10
or more digits or you can break up the phone
number into segments (referred to as blocks) and
the system will piece them together before dialing
(segment dialing). The following examples
delineate both methods:
Entire Number Dialing
“Ready” <Beep>

Call Function
The CALL command is used to dial pre-stored
phone numbers from your PhoneBook. The system
is capable of saving up to 32 names, each with four
different phone numbers. Please refer to the
PhoneBook section to learn how to program
numbers and locations.
Please note that the numbers are stored in the car
kit and not in the cellular phone. The numbers
stored in your phone are not directly accessible
but can be retrieved using the

then the system will return to the main menu.
The Redial Function
The Redial command is used to place a call to the
same number that was previously called.
Please note that the number called will be the
last one dialed from your cellular phone,
necessarily the last one called using the kit. If
you used your phone without the kit, it will use
that number as the last number dialed.

Delete the Current Phone Pairing
This function is used to remove the current phone
from connecting to the Bluetooth™ kit. The pairing
can only be deleted when there is an existing phone
actually connected and communicating with the kit
when this function is invoked.
• The pairing is only deleted in the kit and
NOT in the phone. Therefore, it is possible
that the phone will try to reconnect unless
the entire pairing process is completed
again.

Chapter 7: Special Functions
Your hands free kit supports a number of advanced
features including the following:
• Initiating a second call and toggling between
the calls
• Privacy – transferring calls to your cell
phone
• Conference two calls together
• Accessing voice mail and other phone
functions by sending DTMF codes
• Activating the voice dialing functions of
your cell phone
In order for these features to work on the kit, they
must also be supported by your specific phone and
in some cases by your wireless carrier.
Privacy calls – Transferring Call
During a hands-free call, the audio can be
transferred from the kit back to the cellular
telephone in order to continue the call privately.

Accessing Voice Mail or Other Phone
Functions by sending DTMF tones/digits
During an active call, many times it is necessary to
send DTMF digits through the call so that voice
mail can be accessed or a number can be left on a
pager, text messaging system It works, when you
press the buttons on the keypad, a connection is
made that generates two tones at the same time. A
"Row" tone and a "Column" tone. These two tones
identify the key you pressed to any equipment you
are controlling. If the keypad is on your phone, the
telephone company's "Central Office" equipment
knows what numbers you are dialing by these tones,
and will switch your call accordingly. If you are
using a DTMF keypad to remotely control
equipment, the tones can identify what unit you
want to control, as well as which unique function
you want it to perform. This can now be activated
by voice control through your VControl™ system.
