Bluetooth
®
Compatibility
You can use your Bluetooth-capable phone hands-free
in
Model 3 provided your phone is within operating
range. Although Bluetooth typically supports wireless
communication over distances of up to approximately
30 feet (9 meters), performance can vary based on the
phone you are using.
Before using your phone with Model 3, you must pair it.
Pairing sets up
Model 3 to work with your Bluetooth-
capable phone (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on page
137).
NOTE: Authenticating your phone to use as a Model 3
key (see Keys on page 8) does not also allow you to use
the phone hands-free, play media from it, etc. You must
also pair it as described below.
You can pair up to ten Bluetooth phones. Model 3
always automatically connects to the last phone that
was used (provided it is within range). If you want to
connect to a dierent phone, see Connecting to a
Paired Phone on page 138.
NOTE: On many phones, Bluetooth turns o if the
phone’s battery is low.
NOTE: In addition to phones, you can also pair
Bluetooth-enabled devices with Model 3. For example,
you can pair an iPod Touch or an iPad or Android tablet
to stream music.
Pairing a Bluetooth Phone
Pairing allows you to use your Bluetooth-capable phone
hands-free to make and receive phone calls, access
your contact list, recent calls, etc. It also allows you to
play media files from your phone. Once a phone is
paired, Model 3 can connect to it whenever the phone is
within range.
To pair a phone, follow these steps while sitting inside
Model 3:
1.
Ensure both the touchscreen and the phone are
powered on.
2.
On your phone, enable Bluetooth and ensure it is
discoverable.
NOTE: On some phones, this may require you to go
to Bluetooth Settings for the remainder of the
procedure.
3.
Touch the Bluetooth icon on the top of the
touchscreen.
4. On the touchscreen, touch Add New Device > Start
Search. The touchscreen displays a list of all
available Bluetooth devices within operating
distance.
5. On the touchscreen, touch the phone with which you
want to pair. Within a few seconds, the touchscreen
displays a randomly generated number, and your
phone should display the same number.
6. Check that the number displayed on your phone
matches the number displayed on the touchscreen.
Then, on your phone,
confirm that you want to pair.
7. If prompted on your phone, specify whether you
want to allow
Model 3 to access your contacts and
media files.
When paired, Model 3 automatically connects to the
phone, and the touchscreen displays the Bluetooth
symbol next to the phone’s name to indicate that the
connection is active.
At any time, you can display the Bluetooth settings
screen to change settings associated with a connected
device. For example, you can designate a connected
phone as the
Priority Device. This is useful in situations
where you have connected more than one phone, and
both phones are frequently used in Model 3 at the same
time. Model 3 automatically attempts to connect to the
priority device before others.
Importing Contacts and Recent
Calls
Once paired, you can use the Bluetooth settings screen
(touch the Bluetooth icon on the touchscreen's top
status bar) to specify whether you want to allow access
to your phone’s contacts and recent calls. If access is
turned on, you can use the phone app to display, and
make calls to, people in your list of contacts and on
your recent calls lists (see
Using the Phone App on
page 138).
NOTE: Before contacts can be imported, you may need
to either set your phone to allow syncing, or respond to
a popup on your phone to
confirm that you want to
sync contacts. This varies depending on the type of
phone you are using. For details, refer to the
documentation provided with your phone.
NOTE: You can turn access to your contacts and recent
calls on or o at any time by displaying the Bluetooth
settings screen, choosing the phone, and then changing
the setting associated with contacts and recent calls.
Unpairing a Bluetooth Phone
If you want to disconnect your phone and use it again
later, simply touch
Disconnect on the Bluetooth
settings screen. If you do not want to use your phone
with Model 3 again, touch Forget This Device. Once you
forget a device, you need to pair it again if you want to
use it with
Model 3 (see Pairing a Bluetooth Phone on
page 137).
NOTE: Your phone automatically disconnects whenever
you leave
Model 3.
