Using the features of the bluetooth
devices
Using the telephone feature
To use the Telephone feature, be sure both units are turned on
and correctly paired together, following the pairing procedure
described in section “Pairing the unit with a cell phone”.
Attention: information provided in this section refers to
the establishment of a direct communication between
the cell phone and the BT Rebel unit. If the cell phone is
connected via the GPS Sat-Nav, the cell phone features
can only be managed via the GPS itself.
Answering a call
When you hear the phone ring, you can answer in two different
ways:
Vocally:
Simply say one word to answer the call and start talking. Re-
membering that you can only do this if you answer the call
after the third Ring. (Be aware that some phones may not sup-
port voice answering)
Manually:
Tap the “Phone” button and start speaking.
Attention: Remember that you can answer the call only
after the third Ring.
Rejecting a call
If you don’t wish to answer, you can let the cell phone ring or
press the “Telephone” button for a few seconds (you will hear
one audio confirmation tone).
Making a call
There are several ways to make a call.
From the cell phone keypad:
Dial the number on the cell phone keypad:
› Press “Send” on the cell phone.
› This way of calling should never be carried out whilst in
charge of a moving vehicle.
To redial the last number:
› Press and hold “Telephone” button for 3 seconds in order
to redial the last number (you will hear one audio confirma-
tion tone).
To make a voice call:
› Briefly press “Telephone” button. If your cell phone suppor-
ts voice calls, you will be asked to spell the name of the
contact you wish to call.
The correct operation of this feature depends on the type of
helmet used (Open or closed faced) and on the speed you are
travelling at. We suggest you perform a few tests to determine
the best settings for you as an individual.
Attention: if you are listening to the music using an MP3
Player connected via Bluetooth (A2DP protocol), you will
not be able to use the “Dial last number” and “Voice call”
commands, because these buttons are used to control
the MP3 player. Therefore, if you want to make a call, you
must first disable the music by pressing the “Music” but-
ton for 3 seconds (you will hear two audio confirmation
tones) before making the call.
Ending a call
There are several ways to end a call:
› Wait for the called person to end the call.
› Press the Telephone” button for 3 seconds (you will hear
an audio confirmation tone).
› Press “End” button on the cell phone. (This way of ending
a call should never be carried out whilst in charge of a mo-
ving vehicle)
Enabling/Disabling the VOX feature on the
cell phone
With your BT Rebel switched off, press and hold down the
‘MUSIC’ button until the light is steady red. Now BT Rebel
is in ‘Pairing’ mode (setup).
Hold down the ‘Phone’ and ‘AUX’ buttons for 3 seconds at
the same time.
If the VOX feature was enabled, it will be deactivated (blue
light with 2 flashes every 2 seconds)
On the contrary, if it was disabled, it will be activated (stea-
dy blue light for 2 seconds).
Using the MP3 player feature of the cell pho-
ne
Many cell phones are now designed to be used as stereo MP3
players. Your Midland BT Rebel fully supports the A2DP and
AVRCP protocols that enable you to listen to stereo music and
remotely control your mobile phone’s MP3 player.
You can even use the buttons on the BT Rebel unit to control
