How to pair the BTNext to a GPS
In general is possible to pair the BTNext to all the GPS for motorbike that support
Bluetooth headset connection.
To pair the BTNext to a GPS, you must first enter the setup mode:
1. Turn off the unit
2. Press and hold down the "Middle" button about 7 sec., until the Red light is
on permanently.
3. Now press firmly (3 sec) the "Volume -" button, the Blue and Red light will
flash.
4. Enable the Bluetooth device search feature on your GPS
5. After some seconds, "Midland BT NEXT" will be displayed on your GPS.
6. Follow the pairing procedure of your GPS. If a pin code is requested you must
enter "0000" (four times zero).
7. When successfully paired, the Blue light of the unit will be on for one second
and then the unit will exit the setup mode and switch to the working mode
(the Blue light will start flashing).
You can now use your BTNext and the GPS street voice announcement are always
in background.
If you pair the GPS to the Volume + button (because for example the "Volume
–" button was already used), you loose the possibility to pair the phone to the
BTNext unit. You can overcome this limit by pairing the phone directly to the GPS
and then the GPS to the BTNext unit. All the phone features are therefore mana-
ged by the GPS itself.
How to use a GPS
When paired using the "Volume -" button the GPS will be automatically con-
nected and the voice announcement are always in background also if the inter-
com is active.
When the GPS is paired to the "Volume +" button, the street voice announce-
ment will always interrupt the intercom. In addition, remember to switch to
"Phone" mode in order to listen and control the music (play/pause - backward
and forward).
If the phone is connected thru the GPS you must use the control buttons on the
GPS screen in order to control the phone functionality.
