6 Handsfree option
Handsfree Option
The Gateway Five is manufactured in two
versions:
•The main model includes Bluetooth handsfree
support.
•The basic version offers a trial of the
handsfree support that allows a total number
of 50 calls. For upgrading the basic version to
the main version please visit
www.dension.com.
Bluetooth music streaming is possible in both
versions.
Connecting a Phone
You can pair a Bluetooth capable mobile phone
for handsfree calls. This can be the same device
as the one paired for music streaming or you can
have a separate phone paired for handsfree calls.
Such pairing is possible by setting the Bluetooth
connection type in the devices accordingly. The
connection types.are: handsfree profile (HFP) and
music streaming (A2DP). Please note that not all
Bluetooth capable mobile phones support setting
the Bluetooth connection type. Such phones
typically pair for handsfree and music streaming (if
supported).

connection. When a phone is connected you can
see the connection status on the phone screen.

access to the respective call logs.

phone.
Please note that for consistency reasons the

9 Bypass Mode and Reset
Bypass Mode and Reset
Certain vehicles have complex system
management capabilities, and servicing may
involve using a diagnostic computer.
To avoid conflict with such diagnostics devices,
you can use the switch on the Connector Port to
put the Gateway in Bypass mode, which
temporarily disables the operation of the Gateway.
Please ensure that the Gateway is in Active mode
for normal use. In order to switch to Bypass mode,
remove all previously connected devices from the
Gateway, turn the mode selector button to
Bypass, then fully turn off the engine and wait for
the electronics to switch off completely (in case of
a Volkswagen this happens 1-2 minutes after all
lights and displays turn off on the dashboard). To
get back to Active mode, turn everything off
completely till the car goes to sleep and select
Active mode on the Connector Port.
The Connector Port has a reset button for the rare
occasion when a full hardware reset of the
Gateway is necessary.
You can find dip switches on the bottom of the
Gateway Five. These are factory set according to
the car type and software version. Please do not
change the setting of these switches.
