 Bluetooth HandsFree Car Kit

Introduction
The Rearview Mirror HandsFree Car Kit (MHF-R220BT or
MHF-R330BT) is a wireless device that utilises the latest
Bluetooth* technology to communicate with your compatible
phone within a 10-metre range. This allows you to talk through its
built-in high quality loudspeaker and external high sensitivity
microphone without the need to hold the phone or take your hands
off the steering wheel.

So easy to install, just plug into your vehicle lighter socket and
simply clip the MHF-R330BT unit over the
existing Rearview mirror and once set up, you will be able to
answer, end, reject, redial, place calls or adjust the loudspeaker
volume by the simple press of a button. Wherever your phone is in
your car, there will be no need to take out your phone from your
pocket or bag.

The MHF-R330BT also supports voice dialling**

which enables you to dial your favourite contacts without the need
to touch the phone and allow you to remain concentrated on safely
driving your car.

clips. Place the bottom pair of clips on

the underside of your existing Rearview
mirror. Lift the unit so that the bottom
clips extend allowing the top clips to be
fixed in position on top of your rearview ( Main Body )
mirror and securely hold the handsfree
unit in place. Adjust the fitted unit to your preference for clear rear
vision.

Select a suitable position for the microphone depending on your vehicle

type, this should be placed close to the users head - the driver’s sun
visor is normally adequate. “It is highly recommended to have the
front of the microphone (side with more holes) directly facing the
operator for the best voice pickup.” The microphone can be placed
either back or front of the visor by detaching, rotating and re-attaching
microphone holder to correct side of the microphone.

Clip a microphone on the driver’s sun visor recommended to keep a

distance of the microphone from the MHF-R330BT
unit as long as possible.

Insert the power jack of the power adapter cable (4M).

Connect the Power Adapter Cable into its respective socket on the
MHF-R330BT unit.

The power lead should be secured and hidden into the vehicles interior
using the seals or joins around the windscreen and door “A-Frame”
and under your dashboard. Ensure that you leave yourself enough
cable to be able to connect to your cigarette lighter socket.

Note :
Please ensure that the microphone and power cable do not interfere with
the safe operation of your vehicle.
