iFusion User Manual 3
Bluetooth connection
You will need to pair your iPhone with the iFusion. iFusion is compatible with Bluetooth
2.1+EDR. The iFusion provides Bluetooth support for iPhones up to approximately 10
meters (33 feet) away. Direct line-of-sight provides a longer range.
Here is some general information about this Bluetooth connection:
• After the devices have been paired, the iFusion saves the connection details in
memory. Multiple iPhones can be paired with the iFusion, but only one iPhone can
be actively connected at a time.
• The connection is severed once you take the iPhone out of range of the iFusion.
When you bring the iPhone back within range, the devices automatically reconnect.
For optimal Bluetooth performance with the iFusion:
• Keep the iPhone docked in the iFusion.
• Position the iFusion away from radio frequency (RF) emission sources such as lap-
tops or other electronic equipment, because such devices can interfere with Blue-
tooth communications.
Note: If more than one Bluetooth device is connected to the iPhone, it may take several
seconds for the iPhone to connect the voice path to the iFusion for incoming calls.
For this reason, we recommend that you disconnect all other bluetooth devices
from the iPhone.
4 Handset port Connects the handset cord to the iFusion.
5 Cable guide Holds the handset cord in place, so that the
iFusion does not wobble on the desk.

1. Preparing the iPhone
On the iPhone, go to Settings > General > Bluetooth.Turn on Bluetooth. The iPhone is
now discoverable, and it searches for other Bluetooth devices nearby.
2. Preparing the iFusion
Touch and hold the Bluetooth button on the iFusion for three to five seconds, until the but-
ton blinks rapidly. The iFusion is now in pairing mode.
Note: If the pairing process is not completed within 60 seconds, the Bluetooth button
blinks slowly again, indicating that the process was cancelled. Repeat step 2.
3. Pairing the devices
Once the iFusion is listed on the iPhone screen, tap iFusion xxxxxx to pair the two
devices. On the iPhone, the status changes from Not Paired to Connected when the
Bluetooth connection has been made.

iFusion User Manual 5
After the connection has been established, the Bluetooth button on the iFusion glows with
a steady blue light.
If the connection is lost, the button blinks slowly. When you bring the iPhone back into
range, the light glows a steady blue again after it reconnects.
If you try to connect an iPhone to the iFusion while another iPhone is already connected,
the connection request is refused and you see an error message.

Making and answering calls
To use the iFusion, the iPhone does not have to be docked; it must be connected by Blue-
tooth and be within range of the iFusion.
When a call comes in, both the iPhone and the iFusion ring. To answer the call, either
pick up the handset or touch the Speaker button on the iFusion.
If the iPhone is docked when you make a call, the iFusion speaker automatically comes
on unless you pick up the handset. You can call a number from your iPhone’s Contacts
list, Call log, dial pad, or Favorites list.
To end a call, either touch the Speaker button on the iFusion (if you were on speaker) or
return the handset to its cradle.
Switching a call to the iPhone
1. If the iPhone is docked, remove it from the cradle.
2. Tap the iPhone audio source button.
3. Select iPhone.

iFusion User Manual 7
Switching a call to the iFusion
If you begin a call out of range of the iFusion, you can switch the call to the iFusion once
the Bluetooth connection is reinstated:
1 Tap the iPhone audio source button.
2 Select iFusion xxxxxx.
Muting a call
While talking on the handset or through the speaker, you can mute the call. Touch the
Mute button once to mute the call; the button glows red. To unmute the call, tap the Mute
button again.
Adjusting the volume
The Volume buttons adjust the current sound level. There are four separate volume set-
tings:
Ringer – If a call is coming in (or if the iFusion is idle), the Volume buttons adjust the
sound level of the iFusion ringer.
Speaker – If you are on a call through the speaker, the Volume buttons adjust the sound
level of the speaker.
Handset – If you are on a call on the handset, the Volume buttons adjust the sound level
of the handset.
Music – If you are playing music, the Volume buttons adjust the sound level of the music.
The Volume buttons will blink rapidly when the volume reaches the minimum or maximum
level.
If power to the iFusion is interrupted, all volume levels will return to their default settings.
To mute the ringer on the iFusion, touch the Volume Down button until its light blinks rap-
idly. (This will not mute the iPhone ringer.)
Pressing an iPhone Volume button will mute both the iPhone ringer and the iFusion ringer
for the current call.

Playing music
You can play music (or other stored audio) through the iFusion or through external speak-
ers, if you have speakers connected. For best sound quality, we recommend that you use
amplified stereo speakers.
Just tap the iPod icon on your iPhone to play music or other stored audio through the
iFusion speaker.
To play music or other stored audio through a set of external speakers, connect the
speaker cable to the audio jack in the back of the iFusion (external speakers are not used
for voice calls)
If a call comes in while you are playing music, the music automatically stops playing and
the iFusion rings. Once the call ends, the music resumes.

iFusion User Manual 9
Note: While you are playing music or other audio, pressing the Speaker button has no
effect (although the button itself will glow).
Synchronizing data
You can synchronize data such as e-mail, calendar, contacts, music, photo, and other
media files between your iPhone and the computer, through iFusion.
1 Install the iPhone application software and driver on the computer.
2 Use a mini-USB to USB standard cable (not provided) to connect the computer and
the iFusion.
3 Plug your iPhone to the docking cradle. The computer acknowledges the iPhone.
4 To synchronize data between your iPhone and the computer, follow the instructions
provided with the iPhone application software.
Note: It will take slightly longer to charge the iPhone when the iFusion is connected to a
computer.

Using iFusion with FaceTime
Placing your iPhone in the cradle of the iFusion puts it at a great angle for FaceTime
video chats. Here are some tips for using iFusion with FaceTime:
• FaceTime is supported only on iPhone 4
• To use the iFusion handset on a video chat, you must upgrade the iPhone IOS to
version 4.2 or later
• In your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone and make sure FaceTime is set to On
• Make sure Wi-Fi is used on both ends

Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to some common problems that you may encounter when using the
iFusion. Also refer to the FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document on the Support
tab at www.thefusionphone.com.
Problem
It takes a few seconds for the iFusion to connect the sound for an incoming call.
Possible Cause Remedy
More than one Blue-
tooth device is con-
nected to the iPhone.
If you connect more than one Bluetooth headset to the
iPhone, then the iPhone may take the several sec-
onds to connect the voice path to the iFusion for an
incoming call.
For optimal performance, disconnect all other Blue-
tooth devices from the iPhone and leave the iPhone
docked in the iFusion cradle while in use.
Problem
I cannot hear the music.
Possible Cause Remedy
The volume is set too
low.
While the music is playing, touch the Volume Up but-
ton to increase the sound level.
Check the external sound device volume setting; it
can override the iFusion setting. Be sure the device
has power.
Check the iPhone volume setting. It may be overriding
the iFusion setting.

12 iFusion User Manual
Problem
