Before you begin
All functions requiring an increased attention should only be used while the vehicle is stationary. Your
safety and the one of the other road users prevails over your phone call or the GPS instructions.
The quality of your GPS signal may be decreased if your vehicle has an athermic windscreen.

Installation
Installing the Parrot MINIKIT Smart
Warning: Avoid any installation which could hinder the use of any important command or hinder the
driver's visibility. Do not install the Parrot MINIKIT Smart in the airbag deployment area or in a possible
head impact area. Make sure it is not exposed to the air stream from air vents.
Clean the area with an appropriate cleaning product then mount the craddle on the windscreen. To do
so, press the suction cup against the windscreen and lift the locking lever until the mounting kit is
correctly fixed.
If you want to install the Parrot MINIKIT Smart on your dashboard, first stick the provided circular part on
your dashboard. This support is necessary to affix the suction cup. Once you have stuck the support on
the dashboard, wait for approximately 2 hours to make sure the adhesive tape adheres well.
The cooling and heating cycle inside your vehicle may cause the suction cup to detach from the
windscreen. Make sure the suction cup is properly affixed to the windscreen each time you use the
Parrot MINIKIT Smart. If it is not the case, the device may fall whilst driving. Reinstall the suction cup if
necessary.
Install the Parrot MINIKIT Smart on the mounting kit. Make sure that the Parrot MINIKIT Smart is correctly
secured to the mount by checking the connection on both sides of the magnetic part.

Installation 5
In order to prevent the device from moving while driving, lock the mount in place using the included
Allen wrench. Conversely, if you feel that the Parrot MINIKIT Smart's magnets and its mount are inverted
(repulsion rather than attraction), use the Allen key to unlock the mount's position and pivot its end.
To release the Parrot MINIKIT Smart, press the release buttons on the craddle.
Extract the microphone from the Parrot MINIKIT Smart and use the provided clips to install it on the
sunvisor or on the dashboard.

6 Installation
Note: Removing the microphone is necessary in particular during highway driving or when the noise level is
high.
Installing the phone
Install your phone on the Parrot MINIKIT Smart by inserting its upper side first.
If your phone supports the GPS feature, install it in an easily accessible and visible location.
Charging the Parrot MINIKIT Smart
The Parrot MINIKIT Smart must be charged before being used for the first time. To do so, plug the
charger into your vehicle’s cigar lighter or connect the Parrot MINIKIT Smart to your computer using a
USB/mini-USB cable.

Installation 7
The LED located next to the mini-USB port turns on to indicate that the battery is being charged. The
LED turns off once the Parrot MINIKIT Smart is fully charged. It takes around 2 hours to charge the Parrot
MINIKIT Smart.
When the battery level is low, the Parrot MINIKIT Smart emits a series of beeps. The Parrot MINIKIT
Smart will turn off approximately 15 minutes later.
Charging the phone
If your phone can be charged via USB, you can use the Parrot MINIKIT Smart to charge it (refer to your
phone user manual for more information). Use the cable provided with your phone if necessary.
Note: The Parrot MINIKIT Smart USB port will also allow you to install the software updates of the kit.
Charging your phone is only possible if the Parrot MINIKIT Smart is connected to the cigar lighter
charger.

automatically established each time you turn on the Parrot MINIKIT Smart. Depending on the model of your
phone, you may have to authorize the connection to the Parrot MINIKIT Smart to allow the automatic

Managing the “Memory full” problem
You can pair up to ten devices. If you attempt to pair an eleventh phone, the kit says «memory full». You
must clear the memory by holding down both the red button and the jogwheel for three seconds. Doing so

Synchronising the phonebook
With some Bluetooth phones, the phonebook is automatically synchronized in the kit’s memory.
Notes:
- The automatic synchronization is limited to 2 000 contacts for each paired phone and to 20 000
contacts for all paired phones.
- The synchronisation will relaunch itself each time your phonebook has been modified.
If your phone doesn’t support automatic synchronization, you can also send contacts manually from
your mobile to the car kit via Bluetooth. To do so, select Receive contacts. Refer to your phones’ user
guide for more information about sending contacts (via Object Push).
Recording voice tags
All your contacts, after automatic synchronization or Object Push process, are directly provided with a
voice tag in the Parrot MINIKIT Smart. Consequently, you don’t have to record your own voice tag on
each contact to make a call via the voice recognition process.
However, if the Parrot MINIKIT Smart doesn’t understand the name of one of your contacts or if a voice
tag is too long, you can record a new one. To do so, select Add voice tags and then select the contact
and record your voice.
