Using Bluetooth on the Magellan SmartGPS
As explained earlier, you can use Bluetooth from your smartphone to sync content to your Magellan
SmartGPS. Additionally, the Magellan SmartGPS has full-featured, hands-free capabilities for making
and receiving phone calls utilizing the Bluetooth link from your smartphone.
Before you can use your smartphone with the Magellan SmartGPS you need to pair the phone to the
Magellan SmartGPS.
Pairing Your Smartphone
1. From the Map screen press .
2. Tap on the Bluetooth button.
3. Make sure that your phone is on and that Bluetooth is turned on.
4. The footer bar will ask you to “Pair your phone?”. Tap OK.
5. The Magellan SmartGPS will begin searching for Bluetooth devices. When you see the
name of your phone in the list, tap the Connect button for your phone.
6. Follow the prompts on your phone and the Magelllan SmartGPS to confirm the pairing.
CAUTION
If the Magellan SmartGPS doesn’t display Connected, try pressing
the Connect button again.
Answering a Call
With your smartphone paired you will be notified on the screen when you have an incoming call.
You can choose to Decline or Answer. During the call, the Bluetooth screen is displayed, however if
you are travelling on a route you will still be alerted that there is a maneuver you need to make. The
alert will not be the complete text-to-speech notification which could disrupt your call, but rather an
audible alert indicating that a maneuver is pending.
If you would rather see the map then the Bluetooth screen, tap the Home button on the Magellan
SmartGPS. Tap the Bluetooth button if you need to return to the Bluetooth screen. This will not affect
the call you are on.
Making a Call
The Magellan SmartGPS provides all the tools you need to make a call, either from your address book
or using a standard phone pad. Tapping the Bluetooth button from the Map screen displays a screen
where you can generate a call. How you generate the call is completely up to you.
