You will probably also listen to FM /AM radio stations or your CD player. However when you hear the phone ring, you need to switch to the FM channel for the BTCup to be able to listen to the other party and start the conversation. 6. The BTCup can be paired with multiple cell phones, but it can only memorize the last connected phone. To use another phone, please turn off the Bluetooth in the last connected phone to release the BTCup, the LCD screen will flash blue. If another phone has the BTCup in its Bluetooth device list, you can select the BTCup and bond with it again. Otherwise, pair them like a new connection. 7. When you do not need the BTCup for phone call, please press and hold down On/Off button for 1 second to turn the BTCup off. 3 FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions) Q1) What should I do, if the BTCup does not function normally?
A1) Please check all the wires or cables are connected, and iPod is docking properly, whether the power of your cigarette lighter is working properly. Please make sure the BTCup and the cell phone are turned on and connected. Q2) Why doesnt my phone work with the BTCup?
A2) First make sure your cell phone is Bluetooth equipped. For the first time use, please pair the phone with the BTCup so that the LCD shows solid blue color. If your phone has worked with the BTCup before but not anymore, and there is no other Bluetooth headset or cell phone around connected currently, the last thing you can do is to delete the BTCUP Handsfree device from your phone and pair it with the BTCup to start all over again. 6 BTCup Hardware Basics 1 3 4

If the LCD stops flashing, press the Phone button on the BTCup to bring it to seeking mode again.

[Look for Devices]. Once the phone discovers the BTCup, select and bond with it, enter the passkey 0000 by the phone keypad to complete pairing process. When connected to your cell phone successfully, the BTCup LCD will change to solid blue. 3. Please note the pairing procedures are different from phone to phone. The above example serves as a general direction. You only need to do Bluetooth pairing once for a cell phone, next time when you start the car, the BTCup will power on and reconnect to your cell phone automatically as long as your phone has the Bluetooth turned on and is within 20ft to the BTCup. Using Cell Phone with the BTCup:
1. The BTCup and its Microphone coupled with the car speakers work exactly like a Bluetooth headset for your cell phone. 2. When you dial out from the cell phone, the BTCup will stop iPod music automatically if it is playing and switch to phone use.

When finished, you can press the BTCup Phone button to disconnect the call, or hang up from your cell phone, or just wait for the other party to end the call. The iPod music will resume automatically if it was playing before the call. 3. If a phone call comes in, your cell phone will ring, the BTCup also switches from iPod to the phone. If your cell phone is setup to auto-answer, the BTCup will connect the call after 2 to 3 phone ring. If you do not have auto-answer setup, you can choose to answer from the phone or simply by pressing the BTCup Phone button. 4.
