HANDS-FREE OPERATION
SWITCHING BETWEEN SOURCES
Your BlueFusion system appears as an XM source to the Factory radio. This is
why it is required to go to the XM Radio band first to your BlueFusion screen

automatically switch to the XM source when you have an incoming phone call.
The radio switches through the sources to find the XM source on the radio,
some audio may bleed through while switching sources. When a phone call
is ended, your radio will NOT automatically switch back to the original source
you were previously on, this feature only works when previously listening to XM
radio. Use the source buttons to switch back to the original source you were
using previously on.

A2DP/AVRCP STREAMING AUDIO
A2DP STREAMING AUDIO/ AVRCP REMOTE CONTROLS:
Important Cell Phone Disclaimer: READ FIRST!
BlueFusion will support audio streaming until it is in paired with a cell phone
(whether this is within the same device supporting multiple profiles or two
separate device.
-While streaming A2DP, redial and voice dial functions are DISABLED.
-Volume output through A2DP will vary from device to device, some may have
distortion at full volume and some level control at the device may be necessary.
-The A2DP Audio stream output from Apple iPhone 3GS is too high for the
BlueFusion system and will sound distorted.
PAIRING A2DP FROM YOUR PHONE:
Most phones capable of streaming audio through the A2DP profile will automati-
cally pair to this profile when pairing with the hands free profile, otherwise refer
to your phones user manual for pairing instructions.
PAIRING A2DP FROM A SEPERATE DEVICE:
To pair a separate device, such as the Scosche TZ4 or other Bluetooth device,
there must first be a phone paired to the Hands Free profile. Ensure that the
phone is paired only to handsfree profile and not A2DP, refer to your phones
manual for selective pairing functions. Once the phone is paired only to the
hands-free profile you may activate the pairing process from your second
device. Music will start playing once the device has paired.
