munication on the BTX1 follow the instruction “Manual activation”; on the other

igator.

this button have higher priority and will interrupt all the other communica-
tion . 

Pairing to a phone

The cellular phone can be paired only to the “”, when the paired “phone 
mode “ is active. In this way it is possible to manage all the phone functionalities 
and listen to the stereo music. An incoming phone call has the highest priority 
and will close all other communications (Intercom, Music).

Pairing to a GPS navigator

“ is active.

Attention:

 

If you need to connect both Phone and GPS, you must pair the Phone 

to the GPS itself.

Bluetooth connection always in Background

present in the background when the Intercom is open (this allows GPS navigator 
announcements to be heard while the intercom is open).

status. The background feature is active by default.

must enter “0000” (four time zero).
