Pairing Your Phone for Live Services and Hands-Free Calling

Before you can use hands-free calling, you must pair your device with a compatible mobile phone.

NOTE: This connection enables live services, traffic, and hands-free calling features, but it does not enable Bluetooth® media features. To use your phone as a Bluetooth media source, you must pair it separately in the Fusion Media app (Connecting a Compatible Bluetooth Device).
  1. From the app store on your phone, install the Smartphone Link app.
  2. Place your phone and your RV-IN1501 device within 3 m (10 ft.) of each other.
  3. On your phone, enable Bluetooth wireless technology, and set your phone to be visible or discoverable to other devices.

    For more information, see the owner's manual for your phone.

  4. On your RV-IN1501 device, select Settings > Bluetooth.
  5. Select the toggle switch to turn on Bluetooth technology.

    A list of nearby Bluetooth devices appears.

  6. Select your phone from the list.
  7. If necessary, verify the code displayed on your phone matches the code displayed on your RV-IN1501 device.
  8. Select Pair.
NOTE: To view contacts and call logs on your RV-IN1501 device, you may need to go to the Bluetooth settings on your phone and enable the contact sharing permission for the paired RV-IN1501 device. For more information, see the owner's manual for your phone.
