Pairing
3
Two Bluetooth devices have to
recognise each other before they
20
can communicate. This process
of mutual recognition is known
as pairing. When two devices
have paired they remember each
other, so the pairing process is
conducted only once, on initial
contact.

The BMW Motorrad communic-
ation system can be connected
to a maximum of three Bluetooth
devices, provided that they each
belong to a different one of the
following categories:
another BMW Motorrad com-
munication system
an A2DP-compatible music
player
a mobile phone or a navigation
device
In order for a mobile phone and
a navigation system to be used
at the same time, the telephone
has to be integrated by being
paired with the navigation system
(
17).
Pairing with a second device be-
longing to a given category auto-
matically overwrites the entry for
the original device. If the original
device is to be re-used at some
subsequent point in time, it will
have to be paired again to the
communication system.
In the pairing process, a
Bluetooth devices searches for
other Bluetooth-compatible
devices within its reception
range. The conditions that
have to be satisfied before the
searching device can recognise
another Bluetooth device are as
follows:
The device's Bluetooth func-
tion must be active
The device must be "visible" to
others
Please consult the instructions
for use of the devices in question
for details.
Despite the standardisa-
tion of Bluetooth and the
interoperability this has created
between many devices, there can
be no guarantee that all available
Bluetooth devices will function
correctly.
