7.4 Getting started

Take enough time to familiarize yourself with the use of the EGO FLASH in combination with your mobile phone. First of all, make a

few calls to determine the ideal volume and the best voice pickup direction before using the EGO FLASH in trafﬁc.

When getting started, your car should be parked in a quiet place. It is also helpful if the person you will be calling can take time to

let you make some test calls.

7.4.1 About Bluetooth

technology

Bluetooth

technology is a wireless technology and, as such, it allows communication between individual devices without the need

for cables. Data and voice information can be transmitted simultaneously. It is unnecessary to have line-of-sight routing between

the devices. The transmission/reception range in the open is typically 33 feet. Interference from other electrical or electronic

equipment or obstacles may, however, reduce this range. The frequency band, in which Bluetooth

operates, is reserved virtually

worldwide. This, coupled with the fact that each Bluetooth

product is tested and approved for compatibility with other Bluetooth

devices, ensures the highest possible levels of compatibility with devices from a wide range of manufacturers. The EGO FLASH

system supports the Bluetooth

hands-free proﬁle. This means that it is fully compatible with all phones supporting the Bluetooth

hands-free proﬁle. If you are uncertain, read the operating instructions for your mobile phone to see which proﬁles are supported.

A2DP (Advanced Audio Distribution Proﬁle) is a technology that enables the wireless transmission of stereo audio signals via Blu-

etooth

to a compatible receiving device. Please take a look at our homepage for information about compatible mobile phones.

7.4.2 On / Off function

The first time you use your EGO FLASH, you must start the EGO FLASH by turning the ignition key. You will see the starting logo

and the main display screen. If no connection to a mobile phone exists or no user is found, the functionality of the main menu is

restricted.

In order to connect to the EGO FLASH, you must select the “User management” menu item with

. “New user” is then se-

lected. The EGO FLASH will then search for mobile phones within its range of reception. If it fails to ﬁnd your mobile phone, you

may repeat the search, or read the section on “Troubleshooting”. When the name of your mobile phone is shown, select it with

the

key. After a connection is established with the EGO FLASH, the main menu is fully functional. Functionalities that are not

supported by the mobile phone are not selectable. If the ignition is switched off, the EGO FLASH shuts itself off. If the ignition is

switched off during a phone call, the call continues without interruption. The EGO FLASH will shut itself off only after the phone

call is ended.

7.4.3 Enter Bluetooth

After a few seconds you will be prompted to enter your Bluetooth

PIN. Enter the PIN shown on the EGO FLASH display onto your

mobile phone.
