Transferring your Phonebook Contacts to the Q2 Your Q2 uses Text to Speech technology (TTS) to read out the name of the person who is calling you. To do this, the Q2 needs to store a copy of your phonebook contacts. Automatically Transferring your Phonebook Contacts to the Q2 When you pair your phone with the Q2 it will attempt to transfer the phonebook contacts automatically. The Q2 stores up to 2,000 contacts per phone. Tip: If you want to cancel the phonebook transfer, click the MFB.
Note: some phones do not support phonebook transfers at all. If this is the case, the Q2 will read out the caller’s number instead (providing your phone and carrier support caller ID). Updating your Phonebook Contacts on the Q2 ENGLISH 3. Select the option on your phone to “send” or “beam” contacts, business cards, or v-cards via Bluetooth, and select the Q2 from the list of Bluetooth devices. See your phone’s manual for help with this step.
Listening to Audio The Q2 supports A2DP audio streaming. If your phone supports the A2DP profile then simply start playing music or any other audio (including turn-by-turn directions from a GPS application on your phone) and it will automatically transfer to the Q2. If the phone rings the audio will mute. You can use your voice to answer or ignore the call. Or: > Click the MFB to accept the call. > Double click the MFB to ignore the call. The audio will resume when the call ends.
Depending on your phone, this may take a few seconds. Please ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone.

The Q2 will automatically reconnect to your phone if the phone is in range when you switch the Q2 on. Up to 2 devices can connect to the Q2 at the same time. If either phone rings, you can answer it with the Q2.
Note: Only the primary phone can play music through the Q2 via A2DP.

It will not be possible to use Phone Commands unless your Android device is running Android OS 2.2 or higher. > On some Android phones a warning message about the phonebook transfer appears in the top left corner. You must select this message and agree to the connection in order to copy the phonebook to the Q2.
BlackBerry > When pairing your Q2 with a BlackBerry device, you may be prompted to allow the connection from the Q2 in order to transfer your phonebook. If you see a message asking if you want to connect to the Q2 or allow a phonebook transfer, choose “Yes” and ensure that “Always allow this connection” or “Don’t ask this again” is also selected.
Troubleshooting I Cannot Transfer my Phonebook to the Q2 In order to transfer your phonebook to the Q2, your phone must support either the Phonebook Access Profile (PBAP), AT commands, or the Object Push Profile (OPP). If your phone does not support any of these Bluetooth profiles, then you will not be able to copy your contacts to the Q2. When you receive a call, the Q2 will read out the caller’s number instead (providing your phone and carrier support caller ID).
The exact setting to change depends on your phone. For example, Apple iPhone users should go to the “Settings” menu, select “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” and then change both the “Sort Order” and “Display Order” to “First, Last”. After changing the setting, you must use the Update Phonebook command to update the contacts on your Q2. ENGLISH phone that controls the display and sort order of your contacts.* * Some phones do not allow you to adjust the order.
The Q2 Reads Out the Wrong Name If the Q2 is reading out the wrong name then it is likely that you have changed the contacts in your phone without updating the contacts on the Q2. If you make any changes to your phonebook, use the Update Phonebook command to copy these changes to the Q2. How Many Contacts Can I Store on the Q2? The Q2 can store up to 2,000 phone numbers for each paired device. Each number stored in your phonebook counts towards this limit.
Enter the code 0000 (four zeros). The Q2 Switches Itself Off If the battery gets very low, the Q2 will switch itself off automatically. You should charge the Q2 using the supplied USB cable and adaptor. ENGLISH My Phone Prompts me for a Code when I Pair the Q2 The Q2 Does Not Respond to my Voice Commands If you are having trouble getting the Q2 to respond to your voice commands, try the following tips: > Say your command as soon as possible after the Q2 asks you to Say A Command.
> Try changing the Q2’s sensitivity level. This setting determines how precisely the words that you say need to match the speech patterns that the Q2 has been configured to recognize. You can change it by using the Sensitivity Level command. The Q2 Played a Tone The Q2 plays tones to let you know when certain things happen. If the Q2 played a tone, then one of the following has happened: > If you take the Q2 out of range of your phone, then it will play a tone to indicate that it is no longer connected.
