6 Handsfree option
Handsfree Option
The Gateway Five is manufactured in two
versions:
•The full version includes Bluetooth handsfree
support (GWF1AC2).
•The basic version (GWB1AC2) 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 without any limitations.
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).
Turn on the Bluetooth option, search for available
devices, select Gateway Five and enter 0000 for
connection. When a phone is connected you can
see the connection status on the phone screen.

In order to reach phone functions, press the

options. Press shortly to enter a submenu or
press and hold longer to return to the previous
level.
In the phone menu you will see the following menu
items.

from your address book to initiate a call.

•Received / Missed / Dialled Call: provides
access to the respective call logs.
•DISCONNECT: Disconnects the paired
phone.
Please note that for consistency reasons the
Gateway Five does not store the phone numbers
therefore your phone is synchronized every time it
connects to the gateway. Synchronization is
possible for up to 1000 phone numbers only
from the phone’s memory (entries with multiple
phone numbers synchronize as multiple entries).

Receiving and Making Phone Calls

number (if provided) or the corresponding contact
names in your phone book are displayed on the
cluster display. You can answer the call by
pressing shortly the “Menu” button on the steering
wheel. The music or radio gets muted and the
audio of the call is directed to the speakers.

or contact from the Phonebook or call logs in the
Phone menu and press shortly the “Menu” button.
You can hang up an ongoing call if you press the
“Menu” button.
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
Audi 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.
Configuration switches
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 these settings, as in that case the
Gateway Five will not function in your car.
