A poor connection or malfunction 

with the microphone may have 

occurred. Consult an Authorized

unit and the device.

If there is any malfunction after 

checking the pairing situation, check

problems.

Names in the phonebook are not 

easily recognized

The Bluetooth

®

 system is under a 

condition in which recognition is 

difficult.

By carrying out the following 

measures, the rate of recognition 

will improve.



Clear memory from the phonebook 

which is not used very often.



Avoid shortened names, use full 

names. (Recognition improves the 

longer the name is. By not using 

names such as “Mom”, “Dad”, 

recognition will improve.)

When operating the audio, a song 

name is not recognized

Song names cannot be recognized 

by voice.
