Required equipment: 1. Any portable music player designed to be used with headphones 2. An audio extension cable with stereo male 1/8 in. (3.5 mm) connectors at each end. To play your portable music player using the auxiliary input jack: 1. Begin with the vehicle parked and the radio turned off. 2. Ensure that the battery in your portable music player is new or fully charged and that the device is turned off. 3. Attach one end of the audio extension cable to the headphone output of your player and the other end of the audio extension cable to the auxiliary input jack. 4. Turn the radio on, using either a tuned FM station or a CD loaded into the system. Adjust the volume to a comfortable listening level. 5. Turn the portable music player on and adjust the volume to 1/2 the volume. 6. If you have a single CD system, press AUX on the vehicle radio repeatedly until AUX, LINE, LINE IN or SYNC LINE IN appears in the display. If you have the AM/FM stereo system, press AM/FM repeatedly until IN appears in the display. You should hear audio from your portable music player although it may be low. 7. Adjust the sound on your portable music player until it reaches the level of the FM station or CD by switching back and forth between the AUX and FM or CD controls (for the single CD system) or by switching back and forth between IN and FM (for the AM/FM stereo). 34 PAGE POSITION: 34 JOB: @zeta.tweddle.com/ford_pdm/ford/own2002/835536-en-tst/og pubnum: 2012 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus) Entertainment Systems Troubleshooting: 1. Do not connect the audio input jack to a line level output. Line level outputs are intended for connection to a home stereo and are not compatible with the AIJ. The AIJ will only work correctly with devices that have a headphone output with a volume control. 2. Do not set the portable music player’s volume level higher than is necessary to match the volume of the CD or FM radio in your audio system as this will cause distortion and will reduce sound quality. Many portable music players have different output levels, so not all players should be set at the same levels. Some players will sound best at full volume and others will need to be set at a lower volume. 3. If the music sounds distorted at lower listening levels, turn the portable music player volume down. If the problems persists, replace or recharge the batteries in the portable music player. 4. The portable music player must be controlled in the same manner when it is used with headphones as the AIJ does not provide control (play, pause, etc.) over the attached portable music player. 5. For safety reasons, connecting or adjusting the settings on your portable music player should not be attempted while the vehicle is moving. Also, the portable music player should be stored in a secure location, such as the center console or the glove box, when the vehicle is in motion. The audio extension cable must be long enough to allow the portable music player to be safely stored while the vehicle is in motion.

This feature allows you to plug in media playing devices, memory sticks, and also to charge devices if they support this feature. For more information, refer to the SYNC威 supplement (if equipped). BLUETOOTH姞 HANDS-FREE SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED) Your vehicle may be equipped with Bluetooth威, a wireless technology which works with your cellular phone to allow you to send and receive calls in a hands-free manner. Your cellular phone must be Bluetooth enabled and also be connected (bonded or paired) to the vehicle’s system. These features allow you to have hands-free conversations while enabling you to focus your attention on the road.

If there is an incompatibility, the performance of your system may be significantly degraded. To see if your phone is compatible with your Bluetooth system, please visit the www.fordvehicles.com/transitconnect website and click on “Check Bluetooth Compatibility”. Getting started Pairing (bonding) your phone The first thing you must do to use the system is to pair (bond) your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone with your vehicle’s Bluetooth system. This process allows your phone to communicate with the hands-free system and ensures that other phones cannot inadvertently do so. You may pair/bond up to six phones with your Bluetoothsystem. To pair/connect your phone: 1. Ensure that your Bluetooth enabled cellular phone and audio system are on and your vehicle is in Park (P). 2. Press MENU repeatedly until ADV MENU appears in the display. 3. Press and hold MENU to enter into the Advanced menu selections. 4. Press MENU repeatedly until BT ON/OFF appears in the display. If the feature is set to OFF, press > so BT ON appears in the display. 5. Ensure that your phone is not in privacy mode. Then, follow the instructions in your cellular phone’s user guide to put your phone into Bluetooth discovery mode. 6. Select FORD AUDIO when it appears in your phone’s display. 7. Enter the code number shown on the vehicle display using the phone keypad. If no code number is shown on the display, enter the Bluetooth PIN number 0000 or any number using the phone keypad. Now enter the Bluetooth PIN number shown on the vehicle display. The phone you have just paired/bonded is now considered the ’active’ phone. When the vehicle ignition is turned on, the Bluetooth system will automatically begin so search for paired phones, and will attempt to re-connect to the phone last paired/bonded with the system. If this phone is not available, the system will then automatically search for the next most recently connected phone. 37 PAGE POSITION: 37 JOB: @zeta.tweddle.com/ford_pdm/ford/own2002/835536-en-tst/og pubnum: 2012 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus) Entertainment Systems To pair/bond subsequent phones to the system, simply follow the previous procedure. Phonebook entries: Once the Bluetooth system connects to your phone, it will attempt to automatically download your Phonebook entries so that you can easily access them later. The maximum number of entries vary depending on the information attached to the number. Voice recognition Your Bluetooth system is equipped with a voice recognition system which allows you to perform some operations by speaking certain commands to the system. The system will respond with a series of beeps, confirmations or questions when necessary. At any time, you can say, “Cancel” if you do not wish to continue, or “Help” for a list of possible voice commands in your current mode. Speak the command clearly to ensure that the system is able to recognize and perform the desired function. For best system performance: • After pressing VOICE on the V O I C E stalk, wait until the beep is heard before speaking a command. Any command spoken prior to this will not register with the system. • Speak naturally without large • Ensure that the interior of the vehicle is as quiet as possible.

Voice commands Voice commands allow you to speak commands to the system while enabling you to keep your focus on the road. As you work through a voice session, the system will prompt you with a tone each time the system is ready to proceed. Name tag feature: This system has a name tag feature which allows you assign name tags to items such as a favorite radio station or personal phone contact. You can store up to 20 name tags per function. Note: There are some voice command ’short cuts’ available which allow you to speak those commands directly without having to follow the complete command menu. 39 PAGE POSITION: 39 JOB: @zeta.tweddle.com/ford_pdm/ford/own2002/835536-en-tst/og pubnum: 2012 Transit Connect (tst) Owners Guide, 1st Printing USA (fus) Entertainment Systems CD player voice commands Press the VOICE button on the stalk.
