FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)

5. You will most likely not listen to your iPod all the time while

driving. 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.

Q3) What should I do, if music or voice output from the

car radio is distorted?

A3) Please stop and park the car safely first if you are driving,

then change to another frequency channel until it is clear.

Q4) After the BTCup is powered off, why does my iPod

change to pause?

A4) When the BTCup is switched to off or cigarette lighter

power stops after car engine is turned off, iPod playing

will change to pause and eventually iPod will be turned

off to save power. If you want the iPod continues playing,

please press play button on the iPod.

Q5) Why does the other party occasionally hear some

kind of noise in the call? Why isn’t the phone call

quality through the BTCup as clear as the direct

phone to phone call?

A5) When the BTCup is in a very noisy environment such as

driving on the freeway, its noise cancellation kicks in,

which might introduce some other kind of sound(noise)

or make your voice appear slightly distorted to the other

party occasionally. This is normal.

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 doesn’t 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.

on the BTCup. LCD light stays off and flashes blue once

every 3 seconds, indicating the BTCup is seeking to

reconnect your Bluetooth cell phone. This initial seeking

period lasts for 1 min and 30 sec approximately.

2. If this is the first time you’ve connected your cell phone

to the BTCup, keep LCD flashing blue. If the LCD stops

flashing, press the Phone button on the BTCup to bring

it to seeking mode again. Please place the cell phone

close to the BTCup, go to Bluetooth setup in the cell

phone and turn on Bluetooth, Select Handsfree, then

[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.

Using Cell Phone with the BTCup:

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.

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. You can put down the phone and just talk

normally with the other party, your voice goes into the

BTCup’s Microphone and other party’s voice comes out

from your car speakers. 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. If you don’t want other passengers in your car to listen to

the other party, once the call is started, press the Privacy

button, and wear the included earphone to listen to the

other party. In the Privacy mode, LCD stays solid blue and

flashes briefly off and on every 3 seconds. Please note the

Privacy is per call only, after the call, Privacy is turned off.
