SECTION 1
This section introduces the basics about iLane and what it does.
1.0 Welcome to iLane
You will soon be on the road with the world's only complete hands-
free solution that makes it safer and smarter for you to manage
critical information while in-vehicle. By simply conversing with
iLane™ through your own hands-free system, you can enjoy iLane’s
rich set of features to comfortably keep up with your Inbox, send
email, field phone calls, check your day’s calendar, and even enjoy
on-demand content services such as news and weather reports, all
while continuing to focus on your most important driving task:
safety.
1.1 What is iLane?
iLane is an intelligent in-vehicle device that uses a simple interface
of spoken prompts and commands to manage your email and other
smartphone
communications.
With iLane on
board, you simply
listen to read and
speak to send. You
will find that iLane
has a pleasant
conversational style (for example, “Good Morning, Jane…”), and
reads messages aloud only at your request. You can listen to as
much or as little as you like, all through your vehicle’s own hands-
free system and speakers.
Wish to respond to an email? Say Reply, then continue speaking to
record a VoiceNote – you can even say Review to check it before
sending. Or perhaps you would like to Forward a message or need

GETTING ACQUAINTED
iLane 7100 User’s Guide

to quickly Call Back. Just relax and work naturally – iLane is
listening.
iLane’s range of intuitive voice commands also provides efficient
management of other smartphone applications such as phone calls,
incoming SMS and PIN messages, your calendar, and even on-
demand news or weather reports. With nothing to type or view when
using iLane, your can keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes
on the road.
1.2 How Does iLane Work?
Once iLane is activated and paired to your smartphone and your
hands-free system as described in Section 3, simply enter your
vehicle. iLane will recognize and “connect” to both components via
the two secure
Bluetooth®wireless
links you have
established, and will
seamlessly manage the
in-vehicle flow of your
email, calls and other
information for the
entire iLane session.
When you exit your
vehicle, iLane communications automatically stop and your
smartphone resumes normal operation outside the vehicle.
Here is a brief example of how iLane manages an incoming email
and a response using the two Bluetooth wireless links in a typical
iLane system – see Figure 1 and Figure 2:

(1) In Figure 1 below, one or more messages arrive on your
smartphone and are detected by iLane while you are driving.
(2) iLane announces the new messages through your vehicle’s
hands-free system and speakers, then awaits your response.
(3) Choose from dozens of simple voice commands – for instance,
say Read Message to hear message content.

Figure 1. Receiving and Opening a Message
(4) See Figure 2 below. iLane reads the message aloud through
your vehicle’s hands-free system and speakers.
(5) At any time, respond to iLane as you wish – say Reply, Delete,
Forward, Call Back, or many others.
(6) iLane relays your response to your smartphone, where the action
is completed.

1.5 Compatibility in Your Vehicle
Your own Bluetooth hands-free system (HFS) is your primary
interface with iLane, relaying iLane prompts and your voice
commands – you will listen to iLane through your HFS speakers,
and you will speak to iLane through your HFS microphone. Choose
one of the hands-free systems listed below, whichever best suits
your needs for convenience and performance:
a Bluetooth wireless headset such as the iLane BlueAnt z9ioption
– OR –
an in-vehicle Bluetooth wireless system (factory-installed or aftermarket kit)
NOTE: For clarity in illustrations, the hands-free system
graphic shown at right and throughout this guide represents the
headset or in-vehicle HFS of your choosing.
1.6 Where to Install
Keep in mind a few minimum requirements when securing iLane in
your vehicle:
For best results, complete iLane setup and Bluetooth™ pairing
prior to any permanent mounting – see Section 3.
Ensure that safe entry, exit and operation of the vehicle is not
jeopardized by any part of your iLane system.
Secure iLane in place – avoid driving with components “loose”
in the vehicle interior.
Secure the iLane power cable away from doors, pedals, steering
column, windshield, mirrors, gearshift, or other moving parts.
iLane does not need to be accessible during normal operation, and
should be kept out of direct sunlight.
It is good practice to store iLane out-of-sight, such as in a locked
glove box, to discourage theft.

2.1 Status Lights and Buttons
S
ST TA AT TU US S L LI IG GH HT TS S
iLane’s status lights (a.k.a. LEDs, or light-emitting-diodes) indicate
current operating conditions regarding power, Bluetooth wireless
links to your smartphone and hands-free system, audio activity,
system errors and more. These LEDs are particularly helpful when
confirming your initial system setup/pairing progress, or for
troubleshooting unexpected behavior – you will not need to consult
iLane LEDs for day-to-day use.
To minimize distraction in the vehicle, the brightness of these
lights auto-adjusts to suit changing ambient light levels. They will
brighten in daylight, and will gradually dim as darkness sets in.
Two identical
Power lights are
typically “ON”
during every
iLane session.
For all other conditions, check the 3 Connectivity and System lights
located near the top edge of iLane.

These 3 LEDs describe iLane’s current wireless connections to your
smartphone (for communications) and hands-free system (for
audio), as well as iLane’s current operating mode and voice
command activities. Refer to the chart below for various conditions

B
BU UT TT TO ON NS S
iLane includes four multi-purpose buttons for
convenient shortcuts to device wake-ups,
recoveries, adjustment of local settings,
manual on/off, volume control, and other
infrequent but crucial functions. In some
cases, an iLane button press simply offers an
alternative to a voice command or hands-free
control.
Button behavior varies depending on iLane’s
current state. See below for a complete list of
all button functions:

The two USB ports located on iLane’s right side provide convenient
choices for linking iLane to other devices (such as a PC or USB
storage device) for downloading the latest iLane Platform software
release to iLane.
For an On-The-Go (OTG) upgrade
at your PC, connect iLane’s
micro-AB USB cable (provided)
and copy the new iLane Platform
software release files to iLane.
The OTG cable carries both data
and power.

2.4 iLane and Your Hands-Free System (HFS)
NOTE: Consult your HFS documentation for supported features and
performance.
Once iLane is set up and paired as described in the iLane Quick
Start or in Section 3 of this manual, your own wireless hands-free
system (HFS) manages audio to and from iLane. Whether you prefer
to use the iLane headset option (available separately) or your own
factory-installed or 3rd-party aftermarket Bluetooth hands-free
system, you will speak through your HFS microphone and listen
through your HFS speakers.
P
PA AI IR RI IN NG G T TO O Y YO OU UR R H HA AN ND DS S- -F FR RE EE E S SY YS ST TE EM M
Pairing iLane to your hands-free system is your final setup step –
see the iLane Setup Procedure (see page 24) and/or the Quick Start
provided with iLane. Although some specific “how-to” pairing tasks
depend on your chosen HFS, the overall pairing process is the
same:
(1) Familiarize yourself with your hands-free system and how to start its
pairing mode.
(2) Pair iLane to your smartphone before pairing iLane to your HFS.
(3) When ready, activate/start “pairing mode” (a.k.a. “discovery mode”) on
your HFS. Be aware that some HFS pairing modes last for limited time.
(4) Make sure iLane is also in pairing mode so that it can detect your HFS.
(5) Use your smartphone to choose and accept the proper HFS pairing.
(6) iLane and your HFS should auto-connect to each other from now on.
U

After setup, iLane audio activity transmits through HFS audio
components. iLane’s own button shortcuts (for managing calls,
“waking” or activating iLane, using the Good-Bye and Do Not
Disturb modes, and more) can typically be accessed using similar
