1. Introduction
BTA1500 is an optional Bluetooth Accessory kit for the Gateway 500 devices. It supports
Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) / Audio/Video Remote Control Profile
(AVRCP) profiles for audio playback and Hands-Free Profile (HFP) / Handset Profile
(HSP) for handsfree telephony.
BTA1500 is compatible with most Bluetooth-equipped mobile phones, PDAs, media
players and other devices. However, Bluetooth compatibility varies by manufacturer and
you might find that some functions are not supported with your specific device. For more
information, please visit http://support.dension.com.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Useful Information
•Up to three phones can be paired with the BTA1500, one after the other. If a fourth
phone is paired, the pairing data from the last mobile phone on the list is deleted.
•If the system is playing A2DP music from the connected Bluetooth device (PDA,
laptop, mobile phone) you can still use it or another device in handsfree mode, to
answer phonecalls for example. Whilst the call is active, the music will stop. After the

call, the music will continue. Some mobile phone models will restart the song from the
beginning.
•If a phone is connected to the system as a handsfree device, the other phone can
connect only as an A2DP source. In this case, the device which is playing music can
be used as a phone but without the handsfree function. Some phones give you the
option to choose the connection type.
•If an iPhone is connected to the GW500 via the dock cable and the music is being
played from it, the iPhone can manage handsfree calls through Bluetooth. Whilst a call
is active the music will be stopped. After the call, the music will continue.

5.2 Positioning the microphone
•For optimum handsfree performance, position the microphone as close to the driver’s
mouth as possible, but at the same time in a central location, i.e. an equal distance
from the left and right speakers. Ideally, clip the microphone to an overhead panel at
the top of the windscreen, for example, near the interior light.
•When using BTA1500 for hands-free operation, ideally set the volume to a moderate
level to avoid feedback.
•We recommend setting your phone volume to a similar volume as the other audio
sources connected to the Gateway. Do this on your phone.
