Introduction
The AD-42W gateway allows you to
connect a standard home stereo system to
a compatible music player or headset that
supports Bluetooth wireless technology.
Read this user guide carefully before using
the gateway. Read also the user guides for
your compatible audio devices that you
use with the gateway. Keep the gateway
and its accessories out of reach of small
children.
Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology allows you
to connect compatible communication
devices without cables. A Bluetooth
connection does not require that the
gateway and the other device be in line of
sight, but both devices must be within a
certain distance of each other. The
distance depends on the operating range
of the devices. The gateway is a Bluetooth
Class 1 device with an operating range of
up to 100 meters (300 feet) but a typical
operating range of Bluetooth devices is 10
meters (30 feet).
Connections can be subject to
interference from obstructions, such as
walls, or other electronic devices.
The gateway is compliant with Bluetooth
Specification 2.0 supporting the following

profiles: Advanced Audio Distribution
Profile (A2DP) 1.0, and Generic Audio/
Video Distribution Profile (GAVDP) 1.0.
Check with the manufacturers of other
devices to determine their compatibility
with this device.
There may be restrictions on using
Bluetooth technology in some locations.
Check with your local authorities or
service provider.

The gateway contains the parts shown at
the start of this guide:
1—Pairing key
2—Blue indicator light

Chargers
Check the model number of any charger
before use with this device. The device is
intended for use when supplied with
power from the AC-3, AC-4, or DC-4
charger.
Warning! Use only chargers
approved by Nokia for use with
this particular device. The use
of any other types may
invalidate any approval or warranty, and
may be dangerous.
When you disconnect the power cord of
any enhancement, grasp and pull the plug,
not the cord.

Switch the gateway on or off
To switch on, plug the charger cable into
the power connector at the back, and
connect the charger to a wall outlet.
When the gateway is connected to a
paired audio device and is ready for use,
the indicator light flashes slowly. The
gateway tries to connect to the Bluetooth
device that you have used most recently
in the current operating mode. For more
information on the two operating modes,
see “Pair the gateway”.
To switch off, unplug the charger from the
wall outlet and the gateway.
Pair the gateway
Before you can use the gateway with a
compatible audio device that supports
Bluetooth wireless technology, you need
to pair the gateway with it.
To pair the gateway with a music player
(such as a music player device or a mobile
phone with a music player feature), do as
follows:
1. Check that the operating mode key is
in the down position. If it is not, press
the key.
2. Press and hold the pairing key until
the indicator light is continuously
shown.
3. Use your music player or phone to
search for and select the gateway and
to enter the Bluetooth passcode 0000.
If the pairing was successful, the
indicator light flashes quickly 10
times.
To pair the gateway with a headset, do as
follows:
1. Check that the operating mode key is
in the up position. If it is not, press the
key.
2. Set up the headset for pairing as
instructed in the user guide for the
headset.

3. Press and hold the pairing key until
the indicator light is continuously
shown.
The gateway is paired automatically
with the headset. If the headset
requires a Bluetooth passcode and the
default passcode of the headset is not
0000, change the passcode to 0000 as
instructed in the user guide of the
headset.
You can pair the gateway with up to eight
Bluetooth devices but connect it to only
one device at a time in both operating
modes. To change the Bluetooth audio
device (such as a music player or headset)
that you have connected to the gateway,
disconnect the current device from the
gateway and connect another paired
device to it. For details, see the user
guides of your audio devices.
If you want to clear the list of paired
devices, press and hold the pairing key for
15 seconds while you are not listening to
music through the gateway.
Connect the gateway
Ensure that the home stereo system is
switched off before making any
connections to it.
To play music on your paired music player
through a home stereo system, plug the
supplied RCA cables to the audio outputs
on the gateway and to the audio inputs on
your stereo system.
To play music on your home stereo system
through a paired headset, plug the RCA
cables to the audio inputs on the gateway
and to the audio outputs on your stereo
system.
After you have connected the gateway to
your home stereo system, set the volume
at a moderate level on the music player or
headset and the stereo system, and start
to play music on the music player or
stereo system.
If you have paired and connected the
gateway with a music player and a
headset, to switch between the two
connections, press the operating mode

key. To use the gateway with a music
player, the operating mode key must be in
the down position. To use the gateway
with a headset, the operating mode key
must be in the up position.
Care and maintenance
Your device is a product of superior design
and craftsmanship and should be treated
with care. The suggestions below will help
you protect your warranty coverage.
• Keep all accessories and
enhancements out of the reach of
small children.
• Keep the device dry. Precipitation,
humidity, and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that
will corrode electronic circuits. If your
device does get wet, allow it to dry
completely.
• Do not use or store the device in dusty,
dirty areas. Its moving parts and
electronic components can be
damaged.
• Do not store the device in hot areas.
High temperatures can shorten the life
of electronic devices and warp or melt
certain plastics.
• Do not store the device in cold areas.
When the device returns to its normal
temperature, moisture can form inside
the device and damage electronic
circuit boards.
• Do not attempt to open the device.
• Do not drop, knock, or shake the
device. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards and fine
mechanics.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning
solvents, or strong detergents to clean
the device.
• Do not paint the device. Paint can clog
the moving parts and prevent proper
operation.
All of the above suggestions apply equally
to your device, charger, or any
enhancement. If any device is not working
properly, take it to the nearest authorized
service facility for service.
