Important Notice for Bluetooth Operations

The following is a list of things you should know including various potential issues when using Bluetooth functions. Be sure to read it.

General

・Since Bluetooth is wireless communication, there may be cases where normal communication is not available depending on signal quality.

・Compatibility status shown above is applicable to the unit that we have used for the test. This does not guarantee that all units of the same cell-phone model will offer the same result.

・Some functions may require operations from the cell-phone. Refer to the cell-phone's instructions for details.

・Model names or model numbers are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective holders.

・Connection with a PC is not supported.

・Depending on the setting or status of the connected cell-phone, some functions may not work properly. For example on certain cell-phones, making a call via JVC head unit is possible only while the cell-phone's display is showing the standby screen.

・All functions related to Bluetooth depends on the cell-phones connected with JVC head unit.

Pairing

・JVC head unit may not be located depending on the signal condition or cell-phone setup.

・While establishing Bluetooth connection with one cell-phone, pairing with another cell-phone will be failed. In this case, try again after disconnecting.

・The pairing and connection process depends on the cell-phone. Please check the operation of your cell-phone in advance.

Connection

・If the Pairing process has been completed and you are still not able to connect, please try again after disconnecting your mobile phone.

Dialing, Receiving (HFP)

・Noise or loud echo may occur during a voice call.

・On certain cell-phones, Switching Conversation on HFP (between head unit and cell-phone) may not work properly or noise may occur when switching.

・JVC head unit and cell-phone may not always match up properly (e.g. cell-phone doesn't cut the line even if the JVC head unit ends the display of call function, etc.).

・Call-waiting is not supported

・Some cell-phones can not reject an incoming call because the cell-phone does not support the function.

Ring Tone in Phone

Voice Dialing

・There may be cases where voices cannot be recognized easily or operation is not stable depending on the cell-phone model or environment in a car.

・On certain cell-phones, the status of Voice Recognition between JVC head unit and cell-phone may not always match up properly.

Audio (A2DP, AVRCP)

・Sound may be interrupted or playback speed may vary. For example, during music streaming, the sound may be interrupted while HFP is connecting/disconnecting.

・Some cell-phones compatible with HFP only may stream music data. In this case sound quality is low.

・Some cell-phones may stream the key operation sound via HFP. In this case, this sound may interrupts music streaming.

・When starting and ending the call, music or noise may be heard for a moment if music streaming is being done in the background.

・During music streaming, the Key/Play Mode Controls or Displays related to AVRCP may not function as they should depending on the device or Music Player application.

・During Bluetooth audio playback, when the sound is interrupted by a call reception, call making, or voice recognition operation, playback may not resume automatically even after interruption ends.

・There may be cases where sound cannot be played from the JVC head unit even though the music is being played back on the cell-phone.

・To prevent distortion or static noise, adjust the volume level on the wirelessly connected device before use.
