Bluetooth® hands-free

This feature makes it possible to set up a wireless connection between a Bluetooth􀂟-enabled cell phone and the vehicle’s infotainment system. This enables the infotainment system to function as a hands-free connection and allows you to remote-control a number of the phone’s functions. The microphone used by this system is located near the driver's side sun visor (2). The buttons and other controls on the cell phone can always be used regardless of whether or not the phone is connected to the hands-free system.

TEL menu selections can be made from the center console or the steering wheel keypad. See page 244 for more information about the infotainment menu system.

NOTE

Not all cell phones are fully compatible with the hands-free system. A list of compatible phones is available at your Volvo retailer or at www.volvocars.us

More information about pairing and connecting cell phones

A maximum of 10 cell phones can be paired with the hands-free system. Pairing only needs to be done once for each phone. After pairing, the cell phone no longer needs to be in sight or discoverable. Only one cell phone can be actively connected to hands-free at a time.

Automatic connection

When the hands-free system is active and the most recently connected cell phone is within range, it is connected automatically. If this phone is not within range, the hands-free system will attempt to connect one of the other paired cell phones. When the infotainment system searches for the most recently connected phone, this phone’s name appears in the display.

Manual connection

To connect a phone other than the one that was most recently connected or to switch between cell phones that are already paired with the hands-free system, go to Phone menu Change phone.

Removing a paired phone from the list

In phone mode, a paired phone can be removed from the list of phones in Phone menu Remove Bluetooth device.

Bluetooth version

For information about the Bluetooth􀂟 version installed in the vehicle, go to Phone menu Phone settings Bluetooth software version in car.

Phone book

The hands-free system uses two phone books (one with the cell phone's list of contacts and one with contacts saved directly in the infotainment system), which are combined to form one phone book.

• The infotainment system downloads the phone book from a connected cell phone. This phone book will only be displayed when this cell phone is connected to the hands-free system.
• The infotainment system also has an integrated phone book made up of contacts that have been saved in the system, regardless of which cell phone is currently connected when the contact is saved. These contacts will be displayed regardless of the cell phone that is connected. If a contact has been saved in the infotainment system, the symbol will be displayed next to it.

NOTE

Changes made from the infotainment system to a contact in the cell phone's phone book will result in a new contact being added to the infotainment system's phone book. However, this contact will not be saved in the cell phone's phone book. The infotainment system's display will show duplicate contacts with different icons.

Please also note that if a speed dial number is saved or if a contact's information is edited, this will result in a new contact in the infotainment system's phone book.

The symbol must be displayed before the phone book can be used and the handsfree function must be in phone mode.

The infotainment system saves a copy of each paired cell phone's phone book. This phone book can be copied each time the phone is connected.

Activate/deactivate this function in phone mode in Phone menu Phone settings Download phone book.

If the phone book contains information about someone who is trying to call you, this information will be shown in the display.

Contact shortcuts

A quick way of searching the phone book for contacts in normal view is to turn TUNE clockwise to access the phone book and then counter- clockwise to select a contact from the list. Press OK/MENU to call.

Each name in the phone book has a default phone number. If the symbol is displayed to the right of it, this indicates that there are additional phone numbers for this contact. To use a phone number other than the default one, press the  #INFO button on the center console control panel. Turn TUNE to select a different phone number and press OK/MENU to call.

It is also possible to search for a contact by using the center console keypad to enter the first letter(s) of the contact's name (see also the following table "Buttons in the center console" for each button's function).

The list of contacts can also be accessed from normal view by pressing and holding the button on the center console keypad with the first letter of the contact's name. For example, pressing and holding button 6 would provide direct access to the section of the list with contacts whose names begin with M.
