If a device is currently connected, press and hold to disconnect the current device before a new device can be paired. Then begin the pairing sequence from the new

Bluetooth device.

(Re)Connecting a Paired Device

Most Bluetooth devices support the auto-connect feature, and will connect automatically if the device is in range when the DC426BT is powered-on. If your device was previously paired but does not connect, use these instructions below. Some devices require authorization to allow the auto connect feature.

• If your most recently connected Bluetooth device becomes disconnected or does not reconnect, press from Bluetooth mode to reconnect your mobile device.

• To connect a previously paired device that was not recently connected:

1) If applicable, press and hold to disconnect any connected mobile devices.

2) From Bluetooth mode, press SELECT. "Paired Devices" will appear on the LCD.

3) Turn the volume knob to cycle through the list of devices.

4) Press SELECT or to connect to the desired device. It must be in range to connect.

Note: If the Auto Connect setup menu setting is set to OFF, you must press to connect you device after pairing, and each time the DC426BT is powered-on.

Streaming Audio Operation

The DC426BT supports A2DP (advanced audio distribution profile) wireless streaming audio from your Bluetooth mobile device directly to your head unit. You can also control your music from the front panel of the head unit using AVRCP (audio video remote control profile).

Notes:

• To stream music to your head unit, your mobile device must support the A2DP and

AVRCP Bluetooth profiles. Check the owner's manual of your mobile device for details.

• Streaming audio must be enabled from your mobile device. This option will vary

depending on the device. Some devices allow streaming audio to be disabled.
