Installation instructions5
Improper Installation
Improper installation may cause damages to the unit or to the vehicle! The installation
of the hands-free car kit requires special knowledge and special abilities. Short circuits
or cables connected in reverse polarity can cause severe damage to the unit. Ensure the
vehicle’s battery is disconnected before you start the installation procedure. We therefo-
re recommend to have the installation done by a professional.
Preparation5.1
Test audio system-
Place protective covers on seats etc.-
Turn Off ignition-
Installation locations5.2
RISK OF INJURY!
Unsuitable installation locations may become a source of injury in an accident situation,
or may inhibit the correct functioning of essential safety equipment!
Checking cable lengths5.2.1
Before you fix the components securely, check that the installation locations have been selected
in such a way that the length of the cables is sufficient to connect the individual components.
Selection of the installation location for the electronics box5.2.2
The Bluetooth®antenna for the connec-
tion to the mobile phone is installed in
the electronics box. The antenna trans-
mits directionally towards the front. For
this reason, during installation, ensure
that the antenna faces into the passen-
ger cell (see Fig.). Vertical mounting is
ideal. Metallic screening between the
front panel and the passenger cell, such
as metal or metallised plastic panels,
are unsuitable and may interfere with
the Bluetooth®connection. Locations
behind the dashboard or in a metal-lined glove compartment are also unsuitable.
A covering in plastic, fabric or wood presents no problems whatsoever

EGO TS
Suitable locations for the
electronics box:
- Passenger side, next to the centre
column under the panelling, model-
specific installation console (dealer)
- Our suggested installation locations
are shown in the illustration on the
right
Further unsuitable locations are:
Leg and knee height, potential head
impact zone, airbag inflation space,
engine compartment
Selection of the point of installation for the microphone5.2.3
Suitable for the microphone:
- where voice can reach the microphone
unhindered (distance between the spea-
ker and the microphone should be ap-
prox. 35 cm), on the A-column (between
windscreen and side window), next to
the driver‘s sun visor, on the dashboard
The illustration shows one of the po-
tential microphone mounting locations.
Alternatively, the microphone may be
attached to the sun visor with the clip
provided.
Unsuitable for the microphone:
-Close to the speakers (less than
80 cm), under the dashboard, in the air
stream from open windows or ventilator
outlets

Mounting Components5.3
DAMAGE TO ESSENTIAL VEHICLE COMPONENTS!
Essential vehicle components or wiring can be damaged when drilling mounting holes
or screwing in self-threading screws. Please make sure there is always sufficient space
behind the screw holes and drilled holes!
Mounting the electronics box5.3.1
Define the mounting points
Making sure that there is at least
70 mm space for the plug and
socket connectors. Mark the posi-
tions for the fixing screws.
Mounting the electronics box
For mounting the electronics box,
use four self-threading screws
and appropriate washers. We
recommend size “ST 2,9x25 DIN
7981”self-threading screws. These
are ideal for the fixing of the electronics box. Pre-drill the holes with a 2 mm drill.
Mounting the microphone5.3.2
Define the mounting location
The microphone holder has a self-adhesive strip on the back. The mounting location should
have the same form and area as the self-adhesive strip on the microphone holder. The location
selected must allow the microphone cable to reach the electronics box! Locate the microphone
with its head in the direction of speech.
Cleaning and degreasing the mounting location
The mounting location must be clean and free from grease and dirt/dust. Clean the proposed
area with a cleansing product such as methylated spirits. Only use cleansing products that
do not damage plastics or varnished wood finishes and are themselves free of oils or grease.
Unsuitable cleansers are, for example,: lighter fluid, acetone, turpentine, trichloroethylene and
similar products.
Attaching the microphone holder
Peel off the protective backing from the self-adhesive strip. Hold the microphone holder at a
distance of several millimetres above the desired mounting location. Recheck the positioning.
Repositioning after mounting is no longer possible. Place the microphone holder on the moun-
ting location and fix by applying short and light pressure.
Attaching the microphone
Attach the microphone by sliding it into the holder and orientate the microphone head in the
direction of speech.

Functional Test5.6
An operational test is only possible after coupling the system with a Bluetooth®- compatible
device. The procedure is explained in the sections „5.8. Getting started“.
Symbols5.7
The control console of the EGO TS has a total of 4 keys. The illustration on the right shows an
overview of the key locations. The functions of the individual keys are explained in the following
section.
Key functions5.7.1
→ The -key (green) is for accepting calls. It also controls the redial function,
private mode and connect manually.
→ The -key (red) is used for rejecting incoming calls and ending completed calls
(hang-up). It also controls the starts the phone‘s voice dialling function.
→ The -key increases the volume in phone.
→ The -key decreases the volume in phone.
Getting started5.8
Take enough time to familiarise yourself with the use of the system in combination with your
phone. First of all, make a few calls to determine the ideal volume and the best voice pick-up di-
rection before using the system in traffic. The best way of optimising conditions of use is to park
your car in a quiet place especially for this purpose. It is also helpful if another phone user can
take some time to assist you when making test calls.
On / Off function5.8.1
Turning the ignition key simultaneously activates the hands-free system. Immediately after the
system is activated, the two LEDs blink 4 times. This indicates that the system is in standby
mode and ready to make a connection. In order to use the system for phone calls, a Bluetooth®
compatible phone must be coupled to the EGO TS system. How this is done is explained in detail
in the following sections. When the ignition is turned off, the hands-free system also shuts
down. If the ignition is turned off during a call, phone ability is maintained and the system is shut
down only after the call has been completed.

EGO TS
Coupling5.8.2
As long as no device is connected, the system is visible for all Bluetooth- ®devices.
The device to be used (mobile phone, PDA, etc.) must be logged in to the system.-
The Bluetooth®search and coupling are carried out by the device.
The name of the system is EGO TS.
The PIN has a default setting of 0000.-
Bei erfolgreicher Verbindung/Kopplung leuchten beide LED‘s dauerhaft.-
It can be 8 Bluetooth- ®phones be connected.
Automatic coupling5.8.3
If a phone is already connected with the system, the EGO TS tries to couple to this phone. When
a connection has been successfully made, the two LEDs are permanently on. The connection is
always made to the most recently coupled phone. If this phone is out of range, the system will
search for other phones registered in the system. When the search is successful, the connection
to this phone is completed automatically. If the search process was unsuccessful, the system
reverts to the coupling mode. This enables manual connection from the phone.
LED status5.8.4
Green blinks in short intervals → no device connected-
Both permanently on → device is connected-
Red on and green blinks periodically → active call-
